Abstract:

<p> We have developed a high density lipoprotein (HDL)-based platform for transport and delivery of hydrophobic gold nanoparticles (AuNP). The ability of apolipoprotein E3 (apoE3) to act as a ligand for the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) was exploited to gain entry of HDL with AuNP into glioblastoma cells. AuNP of 3, 10 and 17 nm diameter, the latter two synthesized by phase transfer process, were solubilized by integration into reconstituted HDL (rHDL). Absorption spectroscopy indicated the presence of stable particles with signature surface plasmon bands, while electron microscopy r

Abstract:

<p> We present a versatile biosensing strategy that uses nucleic acids programmed to undergo an isothermal toehold mediated strand displacement in the presence of analyte. This rearrangement results in a double biotinylated duplex formation that induces the rapid aggregation of streptavidin decorated quantum dots (QDs). As biosensor reporters, QDs are advantageous to organic fluorophores and fluorescent proteins due to their enhanced spectral and fluorescence properties. Moreover, the nanoscale regime aids in an enhanced surface area that increase the number of binding of macromolecules, thus

Abstract:

<p> Nanofabrication through multiphoton absorption has generated considerable interest because of its unique ability to generate 2D and 3D structures in a single laser-direct-write step as well as its ability to generate feature sizes well below the diffraction limited laser spot size. The majority of multiphoton fabrication has been used to create 3D structures of photopolymers which have applications in a wide variety of fields, but require additional post-processing steps to fabricate conductive structures. It has been shown that metal ions can also undergo multiphoton absorption, which red

<p> At present modulators in communications industry utilize non-linear materials like indium tin oxide (ITO) and DLD-164 as a dielectric, which makes the fabrication process cumbersome and expensive. This thesis discusses the possibility of using only gold and air as conductor and dielectric to characterize a signal modulating device. Both electro-absorption modulation (EAM) and phase change driven modulation is possible with the design. For the change in phase a length of 2.992 µ<i>m</i> for the modulating arm of a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) was achieved for operation at 525 <i>nm</i

Abstract:

Vertically oriented graphene nanosheets (VOGN) synthesized by radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD) have been fabricated as electrical double layer capacitors (EDLCs). The relatively open morphology of the films provided good frequency response, but had limited capacitance compared to present day activated carbon EDLCs. The objective of this research was to improve the capacitance of these films to a commercially viable level while maintaining sufficient frequency response for AC filtering. The growth of VOGN on Ni and Al substrates has been studied in this work.

Frequency multiplication is an effect that arises in electronic components that exhibit a non-linear response to electromagnetic stimuli. Barriers to achieving very high frequency response from electronic devices are the device capacitance and other parasitic effects such as resistances that arise from the device geometry and are in general a function of the size of the device. In general, smaller device geometries and features lead to a faster response to electromagnetic stimuli. It was posited that the small size of the silicon nanowires (SiNWs) would lead to small device capacitance and spr
