Bio/Nano Electronic Devices and Sensors

Abstract

This effort consists of five research thrusts: (1) Dense Memory Devices-(1)3-D magnetic recording was enhanced using patterned soft underlayers and interlayer, (2) Cold cathode microwave generator and ceramic electron multiplier-ceramic multiplier using a novel secondary electron yield materials of MgO and CNT was demonstrated as well as cooling structures based on capillary cooling.(3) CNT-based Bio-nano Sensor single walled CNT structures with FIB generated nanogaps have been used to probe single DNA strands, using DNA strands from known pathogens (4) Silicon/polymer nanophotonics- silicon based nano-slot waveguide device was fabricated, as well as micro ring resonators. Flexible micromanipulator probes developed for probing waveguides. (5) Doped nano-diamonds and nanoceramic lasers- optically transparent YAG were demonstrated, and yttrium aluminum perovskite (YAP) were developed of high thermoluminescence efficiency.
