The structured illumination of samples is known as one of the techniques for sub diffraction optical microscopy [1-3]. A spatial resolution beyond the optical diffraction limit is achievable by using nano light spots for scanning of the sample. We apply the structured illumination for digital inline holographic microscopy [4-6]. The structured illumination patterns are superposed by that of the...

Nowadays, nanodevices like small fluidic channels, semiconductor lasers, nano contacts for solar cells, nano magnets or nano antennas for infrared detection (THz) are of great interest. The applications for these devices extend the fields of e.g. energy, computational or medical sciences. For example, by arranging nano dots consisting of a magnetic material, logical circuits can be designed whi...

This paper presents a two-dimensional computational model of micro-structured cathodic electrodes featuring nano-porous gas diffusion media that increase the surface to volume ratio of the deposited catalyst layer. A key objective of the modeling effort is to elucidate the Knudsen diffusion within the nano-porous electrode. In addition, the model is non-isothermal and resolves the natural conve...

Chemically functionalized and nanostructured materials, which mimic the features of the natural extracellular matrix, provide a tool to organize cell surface receptors into nanoscale clusters and manipulate cell functions. However, the existing materials are mainly based on static structures. Herein, we developed a DNA based structure-switchable and multivalent material that acts as a 'nano-spr...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of our nano-HA/PCL composite 3D scaffolds as graft materials for mastoid cavity obliteration in an animal model. Nano-HA particles were synthesized by chemical precipitation technique and mixed them with PCL solution to make composite paste. 3D scaffolds were fabricated by a paste extruding deposition process. The nano-HA/PCL 3D scaffolds showed good...

We experimentally demonstrate efficient electro-optical control in an active nano-structured plasmonic metamaterial hybridised with a liquid-crystal cell. The hybridisation was achieved by simultaneously replacing the polarizer, transparent electrode and molecular alignment layer of the liquid-crystal cell with the metamaterial nano-structure. With the control signal of only 7 V we have achieve...

In this paper, we review the state of the art of a simple, easily controlled convective assembly technique for rapid deposition of structured micrond nano-particle coatings. The advantages afforded by this method are improved process efficiency and reduced material consumption relative o standard dipcoating techniques. Structured coatings larger than a few square centimeters are deposited in mi...

This work investigates a Fano filter design based on nano-hole array, patterned in fused silica using high-energy ultrafast femtosecond laser pulses.

The metasurface consists conical shaped air holes structured substrate, and later...

Thick films of AR Grade nano Fe2O3 material with n-type semiconducting properties were prepared and tested for their gas sensing performances. Thick films of the materials were prepared by screen printing technique. The gas sensing performance was studied using static gas sensing system. The material was tested for various gases such as CO, CO2, NH3, Cl2, H2, LPG, ethanol and H2S. The nano Fe2O...

Nano carbon materials as nanotube and fullerene have a potential for applications to the advanced industries. For nano carbon materials, it has been recognized that large-scale simulation is a powerful and efficient tool to find and create new functional nano carbon materials. Aiming at conducting the productive simulation for nano-materials, we have developed the large-scale simulation models ...
