Biomimetic optical nanostructures Ghent University
Arrangements of material at the nanometer scale produce a dazzling array of colors, ranging from
ultra violet to red, without pigments. These so-called structural colors are particularly distinctive in
birds, which can produce non-iridescent colors (such as the blues of blue tits) using matrices of
keratin and air, or iridescent colors (such as the flashy colors of hummingbirds) using arrays of
...
High lateral and depth resolution ion beam analysis of laterally confined nanostructures KU Leuven
Quantitative analysis of thin films and nanostructures is a cornerstone in the development of future nanoelectronic devices. Within standard Ion Beam Analysis, a high energy ion beam impinges on the sample whereby the intensity of the scattered particles and their energy contains information about the elements, their concentration and their depth distribution. The evolution on novel detector systems (multidetectors , magnetic sector with ...

Photonic Integrated Circuits For Surface Enhanced Raman spectroscopy: Atomic Layer Deposition Assisted Enrichment and Integration of Plasmonic Nanostructures and Nanophotonic Waveguides Ghent University
Raman spectroscopy (RS) is a powerful technique to identify the composition of a material by probing the mechanical vibration of molecules using a laser beam and detecting the shift in the optical frequency induced by the vibrating molecules. It has many applications ranging from the detection of counterfeiting to monitoring chemical processes and probing living cells. The key challenge with RS is twofold: firstly, the Raman signal is ...
English title L-SCAN: Linking surfaces, coatings, and nanostructures. Ghent University
We currently live in an exciting and stimulating period where artificial materials are produced with atom-by-atom control in order to achieve unique sets of desired properties. Advanced characterization techniques are indispensable for an efficient optimization of material synthesis procedures and to obtain surfaces, coatings and nanostructures with an improved functionality for a targeted application such as catalysis, batteries, ...
