Study of Opto-Electronic Properties of a Single Microtubule in the Microwave Regime
Abstract
This is the first annual report of a three-year project. In progress to date, the research group has isolated a single brain microtubule and measured its electronic properties using a four probe technique. For the first time in the world we have isolated single brain microtubule and measured its electronic properties using four probe technique. One of the greatest challenges of the AC measurement on the nanowires is that the measuring probes communicate among themselves and sends signal to the measuring instrument without sample under measurement. Therefore, this is a typical environment where AC signal flows continuously through the air and identifying the signal from samples to the noise is nearly impossible. In this situation, we are developing a number of technologies so that during AC measurement, we can significantly reduce the AC contribution through Air. Here in this years report, we describe the technological challenges in this respect.
