Our research focuses on controlling materials at the 100-nanometer scale and investigating their size and shape-dependent properties. We have developed massively parallel, multi-scale patterning tools to generate hierarchical, anisotropic, and 3D hard and soft materials with applications in imaging, sensing, wetting, and cancer therapeutics.
Templated Synthesis of Mono- and BimetallicNanogap Dimer Arrays
Plasmonic-based nanogap structures play a key role in enhancing sensitivity in plasmonic applications. While nanogap width has often been shown to influence optical properties, controlling material composition at nanogap regions remains challenging. Using a templated...
