Recent Trends in Field-Effect Transistors-Based Immunosensors

Immunosensors are analytical platforms that detect specific antigen-antibody interactions and play an important role in a wide range of applications in biomedical clinical diagnosis, food safety, and monitoring contaminants in the environment. Field-effect transistors (FET) immunosensors have been developed as promising alternatives to conventional immunoassays, which require complicated proces...

Recent Advances in Gold(I) Complexes Based Biological Applications

The development of the synthesis of a wide range of Au(I) complexes reversibly promotes the advance in their practical usages, particularly, in biological applications. The formation of gold-sulfur rich protein adducts contributes to the cytotoxic nature of the gold compounds for chemotherapeutic approaches, while Au-Au interactions endow them with spectroscopic and luminescence properties. Thi...

Multiscale modeling of nanowire-based Schottky-barrier field-effect transistors for sensor applications.

We present a theoretical framework for the calculation of charge transport through nanowire-based Schottky-barrier field-effect transistors that is conceptually simple but still captures the relevant physical mechanisms of the transport process. Our approach combines two approaches on different length scales: (1) the finite element method is used to model realistic device geometries and to calc...

Graphene field effect transistors for bioelectronic applications

The development of the future generation of neuroprosthetic devices will require the advancement of novel solid-state sensors with a further improvement in the signal detection capability, a superior stability in biological environments, and a more suitable compatibility with living tissue. Due to the maturity of Si technology, Si-based MOSFETs have been extensively used in previous decades for...
