Hydrogel microwells with light-controlled reversible closure
Qifei Ma, David Urban, Stefano Gabetti +8
We present a light-responsive hydrogel nanocomposite engineered into arrays of micrometer-scale wells that can be selectively and sequentially closed and re-opened via laser illumi…
Plasmonic nanopore to monitor in-pore chemistry
Weihong Wang, Shukun Weng, Ali Douaki +8
In solid-state nanopores, achieving reliable control over pore aperture opening and closing (gating) remains a major challenge. Gating can be driven by the applied voltage involvin…
UV-SERS monitoring of plasmons photodegradation of biomolecules on Aluminum platforms decorated with Rhodium nanoparticles
Yanqiu Zou, Luca Mattarozzi, Huaizhou Jin +13
In the search for novel nanostructured materials for UV plasmonics a limited number of choices can be done. Materials such as aluminum, rhodium, gallium and few others can be used.…
Dynamics of DNA-Templated Ultrafine Silver Nanowires Formation
Qifei Ma, Mauro Chinappi, Ali Douaki +10
Recent research on silver nanowires prepared on DNA templates has focused on two fundamental applications: nano-scale circuits and sensors. Despite its broad potential, the formati…
Application of Optical Tweezers in the Study of Emulsions for Multiple Applications
Qifei Ma, Huaizhou Jin, Xiaoxiao Shang +6
Emulsions are ubiquitous in everyday life and find applications in various industries. Optical tweezers (OTs) have emerged as the preferred method for studying emulsion dynamics. I…
Plasmonic Janus particles: A perspective on optical manipulation and biomedical applications
Alemayehu Nana Koya, Anastasiia Sapunova, Nageswar Reddy Sanamreddy +8
The compositional asymmetry of Janus micro- and nanoparticles gives unprecedented opportunities to manipulate such composite particles with different stimuli to achieve enhanced op…
Advances and Applications of Dynamic Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) for Single Molecule Studies
Yanqiu Zou, Huaizhou Jin, Qifei Ma +6
Dynamic surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is nowadays one of the most interesting applications of SERS, in particular for single molecule studies. In fact, it enables the…
Porous aluminium decorated with rhodium nanoparticles, preparation and use as platform for UV plasmonics
Shrobona Banerje, Luca Mattarozzi, Nicolo Maccaferri +11
There is a high current interest for novel plasmonic platforms and materials able to extend their applicability into the ultraviolet (UV) region of the electromagnetic spectrum. In…
