Fabrication and characterization of nanoscale structures for membrance sensing

We present nanopore and nanocone-containing nanopore arrays suited for membrance sensors. The unique potential advantages of asymmetric nanoparticle plasmonics are demonstrated for a simple setup for discriminatory, simultaneous sensing of different recognition events at two different hot pots. A novel particle lithography method based on liquid-liquid assembly to fabricate the sensor substrates is also presented.
