Selective self-assembly of biogenic silica assisted by layer-by-layer deposition and inkjet printing

Creator:

Wang, Wei

Abstract:

Nature is an inspirational source of silica structures that possess unique optical properties. A few classes of organisms fabricate metal oxides with nanoscale features by a bottom-up self assembly process. In particular, diatoms are a prolific class of single-celled algae that possess silica shells or “frustules” with intricate submicron scale...

Masters Thesis
Biomolecule detection by amplified photoluminescence of germanium doped diatom biosilica

Creator:

Gale, Debra K.

Abstract:

There is significant interest in the fabrication of nano- and micro-structured silica with spatially ordered features, which exhibit enhanced optoelectronic properties with application to the next generation of display devices, semiconductors, and sensors. Currents methods of fabrication employ top down processes which use extremes of temperature, pressure, and power. There...
