Intracellular Measurement of Neurons Using the Sharp Electrode Technique

Creator:

Howard, Jay F.

Abstract:

The Brain Research through Advanced Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) initiative seeks to understand how ensembles of neurons create neural networks. The initiative has spurred the pursuit of developing novel experimental tools for investigating how individual neurons propagate electrical signals (action potentials) to produce ensemble behavior. Classical techniques to measure the internal...

Scanning photocurrent microscopy study of photovoltaic and thermoelectric effects in individual single-walled carbon nanotubes

Creator:

DeBorde, Tristan

Abstract:

Carbon Nanotubes are a unique family of nanostructures that have shown remarkable promise for mechanical, electrical, and optical applications. Fundamentally similar to the earlier discovered Buckminsterfullerene (C₆₀), carbon nanotubes are hollow cylinders formed from a single sheet of carbon atoms. The research presented in this dissertation investigates several carbon nanotube...

Dissertation
Comparison of carbon nanotube and graphene field-effect transistor biosensors

Creator:

Saltzgaber, Grant William

Abstract:

Detection of biomolecules is important for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Low concentration detection, specific biomolecule detection, and point-of-care use are appealing characteristics for biosensors because of the possibility of early detection and quick results of specific biomolecules. Furthermore, inexpensive biosensors are appealing so that they are accessible to...
