Nanosensors and Sensors Based on Heterostructured Materials for Safety and Biomedical Applications

Abstract

The challenges of using the properties of semiconducting oxides for practical application will be discussed and strategies for the fabrication, characterization, and integration of nanodevices through new technologies will be outlined. The integration and applications of the single nanowire as sensing devices and, in particular, as multifunctional nanosensors are in demand too. In addition, the contribution of crystalline nanosensor and nanophotonic systems will be highlighted to act as an enabling technology for scientific achievements in other research areas. In this talk, nano-heterostructured semiconductor oxides as core nano-building blocks for nanodevices, namely our contribution to building a new route to nanodevices through top-down and bottom-up approaches to hybrid nanotechnologies will be discussed based on our research and comparison with current scientific literature.
