Selective Streptavidin Bioconjugation on Si, SiC, and GaN Nanowires for Biosensor Applications.

October 19, 2012
Author(s)
Elissa H. Williams, John A. Schreifels, Mulpuri V. Rao, Albert Davydov, Vladimir Oleshko, Nancy Lin, Kristen L. Steffens, Sergiy Krylyuk, Kristine A. Bertness, Amy Manocchi, Yaroslav Koshka
A functionalization method for the specific and selective immobilization of the streptavidin (SA) protein on semiconductor nanowires (NWs) was developed. Silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC), and gallium nitride (GaN) NWs were functionalized with 3

Mg-Fe Thin Films: A Phase-separated Structure with Fast Kinetics of Hydrogenation

September 20, 2012
Author(s)
Shiyou Zheng, Ke Wang, Vladimir Oleshko, Leonid A. Bendersky
In this paper we suggest a new approach to improve the kinetics of hydrogenation based on a material with high density of interfaces between hydride-forming solid (HFS) and hydrogen-diffusing solid media (HDM). Such materials can be realized for phase

Electron Microscopy, Nanoscopy and Scanning Micro- and Nanoanalysis

September 12, 2012
Author(s)
Vladimir P. Oleshko, Renaat Gijbels, Severin Amelinckx
The paper considers history and stages of development of electron microscopy (EM) and scanning microanalysis, including theoretical aspects of electron beam-solid interactions, instrumentation, methodology of particular techniques and image analysis

UV-Assisted Alcohol Sensing Using SnO_(2) Functionalized GaN Nanowire Devices

September 1, 2012
Author(s)
Ritu Bajpai, Abhishek Motayed, Albert Davydov, Vladimir Oleshko, Geetha G. Aluri, Kristine A. Bertness, Mulpuri V. Rao, Mona E. Zaghloul
A chemiresistor type sensor for selective alcohol sensing has been realized from gallium nitride nanowires (NWs) functionalized with sputter-deposited tin dioxide nanoparticles. Two-terminal devices were fabricated using standard microfabrication

Sensing Trace Amounts of Nitro-Aromatic Explosives using Nanowire-Nanocluster Hybrids

August 1, 2012
Author(s)
Geetha G. Aluri, Abhishek Motayed, Albert Davydov, Vladimir P. Oleshko, Kristine A. Bertness, Norman A. Sanford
The threat of terrorism and the need for homeland security calls for advanced technologies to detect the concealed explosives safely and efficiently. We demonstrated highly sensitive and selective detection of traces of nitro-aromatic explosive compounds

Methanol, Ethanol, and Hydrogen Sensing using Metal-Oxide and Metal (TiO subscript 2-Pt) Composite Nanoclusters on GaN Nanowires: A New Route towards Tailoring the Selectivity of Nanowire-Nanocluster based Chemical Sensors.

May 12, 2012
Author(s)
Geetha G. Aluri, Abhishek Motayed, Albert Davydov, Vladimir Oleshko, Kristine A. Bertness, Norman Sanford, Mulpuri V. Rao
We demonstrate a new method for tailoring the selectivity of chemical sensors using nanowires decorated with multicomponent nanoclusters (metal and metal-oxide)-based hybrid sensors. In the present study we demonstrate the change of selectivity of titanium

Electrolyte stability determines scaling limits for solid-state 3D Li-ion batteries

December 20, 2011

Dmitry A. Ruzmetov, Vladimir P. Oleshko, Paul M. Haney, Henri J. Lezec, K Karki, K Baloch, Amit K. Agrawal, Albert Davydov, Sergiy Krylyuk, Y Liu, JY Huang, Mihaela M. Tanase, John Cumings, Albert A. Talin
Rechargeable, all-solid state Li-ion batteries (LIBs) with high specific capacity and small footprint are highly desirable to power an emerging class of miniature, autonomous microsystems that operate without a hardwire for power or communications. A

Are Electron Tweezers Possible?

Vladimir P. Oleshko, James M. Howe
Positively answering the question above, we demonstrate in this work single electron beam trapping and steering of 20-100 nm solid Al nanoparticles generated inside opaque submicron-sized molten Al-Si eutectic alloy spheres. Imaging of solid nanoparticles

Highly Selective GaN-nanowire/TiO2-nanocluser Hybrid Sensors for Detection of Benzene and Related Environment Pollutants

July 22, 2011
Author(s)
Geetha G. Aluri, Abhishek Motayed, Albert Davydov, Vladimir Oleshko, Kristine A. Bertness, Norman Sanford
Nanowire-nanocluster hybrid chemical sensors were realized by functionalizing gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires with titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoclusters for selectively sensing benzene and other related aromatic compounds. Hybrid sensor devices were
