Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process of preparing a nanogap electrode and a nanogap device using the same, and a preparing process according to the present invention is characterized in that reduced metal is grown by reduction reaction from a metal ion in solution on the surface of a metal pattern with a predetermined shape. A method of preparing a nanogap electrode according to the present invention has an advantage that nanogap electrodes having a gap distance of 1-100 nm, which are difficult to prepare by a conventional method, can be easily prepared in a reproducible and uniform manner.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method of fabricating nano-components using nanoplates, including the steps of: printing a grid on a substrate using photolithography and Electron Beam Lithography; spraying an aqueous solution dispersed with nanoplates onto the grid portion to position the nanoplates on the substrate; depositing a protective film of a predetermined thickness on the substrate and the nanoplates positioned on the substrate; ion-etching the nanoplates deposited with the protective film by using a Focused Ion Beam (FIB) or Electron Beam Lithography; and eliminating the protective film remaining on the substrate using a protective film remover after the ion-etching of the nanoplates, and a method of manufacturing nanomachines or nanostructures by transporting such nano-components using a nano probe and assembling with other nano-components. The present invention makes it possible to fabricate the high-quality nano-components in a more simple and easier manner at a lower cost, as compared to other conventional methods. Further, the present invention provides a method of implementing nanomachines through combination of such nano-components and biomolecules, etc.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for detecting the presence of a particular organic, inorganic, metallic, natural or synthetic biomaterial and the concentration thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for detecting the identity, presence or absence, and concentration of a material to be detected, by which the metal ions of the detection solution are reduced to metals by a material to be detected and are deposited as metallic nanoparticles, resulting in the change of the shape, size or pattern of the metallic nanoparticles, and the change in light transmittance caused thereby is measured to detect the presence or absence of the material and the concentration thereof.
