A sensor having a substrate is provided in which structures are disposed on a surface of the substrate. The structures can be, e.g., nanostructures. Polarized light is directed toward the sensor, and birefringence of the structures with respect to the light is measured. Target particles that interact with the structures are detected based on changes in the measured birefringence.

Optical sensing and separation based on ordered 3D nanostructured surfaces

Disclosed are systems and methods that enable determination of uncorrelated thickness of a working electrode and surface region optical constants in settings involving electrochemical processing at a working electrodes in a Piezoelectric Balance system, by simultaneous application of an Ellipsometer system, the working electrode optionally having a multiplicity of nanofibers that are oriented non-normally to a surface of said working electrode. Further disclosed is, simultaneous with said determinations, the monitoring of electrochemical processes at a piezoelectric balance working electrode driven by electrical energy applied between said working electrode and counter electrode.

Combined use of oscillating means and ellipsometry to determine uncorrelated effective thickness and optical constants of material deposited at or etched from a working electrode that preferrably comprises non-normal oriented nanofibers

Cross-linked amphiphile constructs that form self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on metal surfaces such as gold surfaces are disclosed. These new SAMs generate well packed and highly oriented monolayer films on gold surfaces. A method for using the SAMs in the fabrication of biomolecule sensors is also disclosed.
