Disordered array of Au covered Silicon nanowires for SERS biosensing combined with electrochemical detection

We report on highly disordered array of Au coated silicon nanowires (Au/SiNWs) as surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probe combined with electrochemical detection for biosensing applications. SiNWs, few microns long, were grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition on common microscope slides and covered by Au evaporated film, 150 nm thick. The capability of the resulting composite...

Bare and boron-doped cubic silicon carbide nanowires for electrochemical detection of nitrite sensitively

Fabrication of eletrochemical sensors based on wide bandgap compound semiconductors has attracted increasing interest in recent years. Here we report for the first time electrochemical nitrite sensors based on cubic silicon carbide (SiC) nanowires (NWs) with smooth surface and boron-doped cubic SiC NWs with fin-like structure. Multiple techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), tr...

Silicon Nanowires Based Resistors for Bacteria Detection

Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) based resistors used as bacteria sensors are fabricated using the classical silicon technologies. SiNWs are grown by vapor liquid solid (VLS) method using gold as catalyst. Electrodes of the device are made of heavily in-situ doped polycristalline silicon. Results show potential use of the corresponding resistors, with SiNWs as sensitive units, for bacteria detection. ...

Electrochemical fabrication of Cu/Pd multilayer nanowires in polycarbonate template

  In this work,copper/palladium (Cu/Pd) multilayer nanowires were successfully prepared by electrodeposition method using polycarbonate template. The fabrication of Pd/Cu multilayer nanowires was controlled by analyzing the current–time transient during electrodeposition using potentiostat. The morphological properties of the nanowires were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and resu...
