Tunneling induced decomposition of Mo(CO)(6) onto TiO2(110) surface
2012
International audience; Tunneling induced decomposition of Mo(CO)(6) from the gas phase was studied on TiO2(110) surface by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). The efficiency of the procedure was followed by measuring the dot volume as a proportional indicator of the amount of the decomposed precursor. It was found that below 1 x 10(-5) Pa background pressure of Mo(CO)(6), there is no measurable effect and above 1 x 10(-4) Pa, the nanodot size is too large compared to the curvature of the tip (20-40 nm). A threshold bias of +3.1(+/- 0.1) V on the sample was measured for the decomposition of Mo(CO)(6) in gas ambient. In the absence of the precursor, dot formation was …

Nanoscale Deposition of Single-Molecule Magnets onto SiO2 Patterns
2007
bet on a silicon oxide template while the rest ofthe macroscopic surface remains free of molecules. Local oxi-dation was used to fabricate silicon oxide nanopatterns, eitherdots or stripes, over a Si (100) surface coated with a SAM.Their width ranged from 30 to 500 nm whereas the lengthcould be modified from a few nanometers up to several mi-crometers. Nanoscale direct assembly arose from a combina-tion of three factors: i) the strength of the attractive electro-static interactions between the molecules and the local oxides;ii) the weak repulsive interaction between the molecules andthe unpatternedsurface; and iii) the size of the nanopattern.Local oxidation nanolithography (LON) allows the…
An electrochemical route towards the fabrication of nanostructured semiconductor solar cells
2010
This work presents our preliminary results regarding an electrochemical process which allows the growth of nanostructured materials by means of nanopore templates. Also we analyze possible applications of this process to fabricate nanostructured semiconductors, such as CIGS, suitable for photovoltaic devices, and we consider the implications from the perspective of characterization techniques and device modelling when using such a technology.

ZnO Thin films doped with Erbium: Elaboration, Characterization and nonlinear optical properties measurements
2011
In this paper, we investigate NLO properties of ZnO nanostructures for optoelectronics applications. It is shown that carefully designed and fabricated nanostructured ZnO films posses some advantageous for practical use and to generate more and short wavelengths and, when combined with TiO , produce a core–shell structure that 2 reduces the combination rate. The limitations of ZnO-based DSCs are also discussed and several possible methods are suggested in order to expand the basic knowledge of ZnO to TiO , motivating further improvement 2 in the power-conversion efficiency of third harmonic generation THG.
Evaluating plasmonic transport in current-carrying silver nanowires
2013
cited By 1; International audience; Plasmonics is an emerging technology capable of simultaneously transporting a plasmonic signal and an electronic signal on the same information support1,2,3. In this context, metal nanowires are especially desirable for realizing dense routing networks4. A prerequisite to operate such shared nanowire-based platform relies on our ability to electrically contact individual metal nanowires and efficiently excite surface plasmon polaritons5 in this information support. In this article, we describe a protocol to bring electrical terminals to chemically-synthesized silver nanowires6 randomly distributed on a glass substrate7. The positions of the nanowire ends …
Formation and evolution of self-organized Au nanorings on indium-tin-oxide surface
2011
This work reports on the formation of Au nanoclusters and on their evolution in nanoring structures on indium-tin-oxide surface by sputtering deposition and annealing processes. The quantification of the characteristics of the nanorings (surface density, depth, height, and width) is performed by atomic force microscopy. The possibility to control these characteristics by tuning annealing temperature and time is demonstrated establishing relations which allow to set the process parameters to obtain nanostructures of desired morphological properties for various technological applications. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.
PRINTING NANOBIOLOGY IN AQUEOUS SYSTEMS
2015
Our studies in the field of printing nanobiology in aqueous solution are proposed to highlight the role of water in the processes of interaction between biomolecules in drug- screening devices fabricated by bioprinting technologies and to emphasize the influence of water evaporation on the diffusion of molecules in droplets of picoliter-scale.
Application of Room Temperature Photoluminescence From ZnO Nanorods for Salmonella Detection
2014
ZnO nanorods grown by gaseous-disperse synthesis are confirmed by XRD analysis to have the wurtzite crystal structure. The obtained crystallites, as found from SEM studies, are 57 +/- 9 nm in diameter and 470 +/- 30 nm long on the average. Two emission bands of photoluminescence from ZnO nanorods observed at room temperature are centered at 376 and 520 nm. A biosensitive layer is prepared by immobilization of anti-Salmonella antibodies from liquid solutions on the ZnO surface. Immobilization of the biosensitive layer onto ZnO nanorods is found to increase the intensity of PL. After further reaction with Salmonella antigens (Ags), the PL intensity is found to decrease proportional to Ag conc…
