The trend of integrating nanostructure to elevate the MEMS capability is becoming a trend in microelectronic sensor field. Critical functional element of sensors in the scale of 10 -6 and 10 -9 m in any dimension being incorporated with appropriate nanostructure as part of the sensor systems through two basic approaches: topdown and bottom up. The techniques and methods of both approaches will ...

Core-shell 12-tungstophosphoric acid/TiO2 (HPW/TiO2) nanoparticles at 10 and 20% of HPW have been synthesized by simple in-situ sol- gel method. Characterization of the samples was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). The X-ray diffraction patterns of as prepared solid samples, indicated characterist...

In the past decade, the feature size in ultra large-scale integration (ULSI) has been continuously decreasing, leading to nanostructure fabrication. Nowadays, various lithographic techniques ranging from conventional methods (e.g. photolithography, x-rays) to unconventional ones (e.g. nanoimprint lithography, self-assembled monolayers) are used to create small features. Among all these, resist-...

CaCO3 nanoparticles have been synthesized via heat-treatment of a new precursor and solid state reaction. Effect of calcinations temperature and quantity of surfactant on particle size has been investigated. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT–IR) spec...

The hexagonal zinc oxide coated nickel (Ni/ZnO) nanostructure photocatalyst has successfully been prepared by the reduction of nickel chloride hexahydrate using hydrazine hydrate through the solvothermal process at 140 °C followed by surface modification of the product by the reflux method at 110 °C for 1 h. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern showed that the 'as prepared' sample consists of fa...

The study describes chitosan membrane platform modified with nanostructure pattern which using nanotechnology to fabricate. The cell-substrate interaction between neuro-2a neuroblasts cell lines and chitosan membrane (flat, nanostructure and nanostructure pattern types) was investigated. The adhered morphology of neuro-2a cells depends on the topography of chitosan surface. We have found that n...

Silicon nanostructure surface fabricated from metal-assisted etching have been demonstrated as high sensitivity matrix-free laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry chip. The silicon nanostructure morphology was found to have direct effect to the mass spectrometry ionization efficiency. Creation of different silicon nanostructure morphologies by changing the metal thickness, etching time a...

Flower-like ZnO nanostructures were synthesized by decomposing Zn(OH)2 in 1,4- butanediol at 105 °C for 36 h. Size of flower-like ZnO nanostructure can be controlled by pH of the aqueous solution. In the preparation of flower-like ZnO nanostructure, zinc nitrate was used as a precursor. The morphology and microstructure of flower-like ZnO nanostructure have been characterized by scanning electr...

Determining the relative configuration or enantiomeric excess of a substance may be achieved using NMR spectroscopy by employing chiral shift reagents (CSRs). Such interact noncovalently with solute, resulting in each form experiencing different magnetic anisotropy; this is then reflected their spectra. The Keplerate polyoxometalate (POM) molybdenum-based, water-soluble, discrete inorganic stru...
