Optical metasurfaces are planar metamaterials that can mediate highly precise light–matter
interactions. Because of their unique optical properties, both plasmonic and dielectric …

The modification of surfaces by the deposition of a robust overlayer provides an excellent
handle with which to tune the properties of a bulk substrate to those of interest. Such control …

Nanopores in solid-state membranes are promising for a wide range of applications
including DNA sequencing, ultra-dilute analyte detection, protein analysis, and polymer data …

The application of portable, easy‐to‐use and highly sensitive lab‐on‐a‐chip biosensing
devices for real‐time diagnosis could offer significant advantages over current analytical …

A very mild method was developed for the attachment of high-quality organic monolayers on
crystalline silicon surfaces. By using visible light sources, from 447 to 658 nm, a variety of 1 …

Abstract Silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4) has a distinctive combination of material properties such as
high strength and fracture toughness, inherent phase stability, scratch resistance, low wear …

This paper demonstrates a new chemically selective method for achieving high-resolution,
area-selective atomic layer deposition (ALD) of Pt thin films on dielectrics. By utilizing the …

For a superhydrophobic coating, its limited durability has been a persistent issue that
prevents its widespread usage in outdoor applications. Here, we propose a scalable, self …

Zwitterionic poly (sulfobetaine acrylamide)(SBMAA) brushes were grafted from silicon-rich
silicon nitride (Si x N4, x> 3) surfaces by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and …

A comparative study is presented of the hydrolytic and thermal stability of 24 different kinds
of monolayers on Si (111), Si (100), SiC, SiN, SiO2, CrN, ITO, PAO, Au, and stainless steel …
