Silicon is the undisputed leader for microelectronics among all the industrial materials and
Si nanostructures flourish as natural candidates for tomorrow's technologies due to the rising …

Structuring Si, ranging from nanoscale to macroscale feature dimensions, is essential for
many applications. Metal‐assisted chemical etching (MaCE) has been developed as a …

A variety of silicon-based nanostructures with dimensions in the 1–5 nm range now emit
tunable photoluminescence (PL) spanning the visible range. Achievement of high …

The realization of an innovative label-and PCR-free silicon nanowires (NWs) optical
biosensor for direct genome detection is demonstrated. The system is based on the …

We demonstrate the realization of the first label-free optical biosensor based on the room
temperature luminescence of silicon nanowires (NWs) tested for the selective detection of C …

In this paper, we report on the realization of a highly sensitive and low cost 3D surface-
enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform. The structural features of the Ag dendrite …

Cardiovascular diseases are some of the today major cause of death in the world. C-reactive
protein (CRP) is well known as the main biomarker related to cardiovascular risk and heart …

Achieving light management in nanostructured materials is a recent challenge of great
resonance among the scientific community, which is generally attained by expensive surface …

Platinum (Pt) is one of the interesting catalysts in metal-assisted etching (metal-assisted
chemical etching) of silicon (Si). The Pt-assisted etching induces not only the dissolution of …

We introduce a method for the direct imprinting of GaAs substrates using wet-chemical
stam**. The predefined patterns on the stamps etch the GaAs substrates via metal …
