Strategies for Design and Fabrication of Nanoplasmonic Metasurfaces with Extreme Geometric Features
DownloadFall 2022
The ever-increasing integration density of optical components has pushed engineers and physicists to rethink the fundamentals of bulky dielectric lensing systems. Metasurfaces, which are two-dimensional, periodic arrays of metallic (plasmonic) or dielectric scatterers that exhibit exotic...

Passive and active cooling of cavity optomechanical torque sensors for magnetometry applications
DownloadFall 2019
Cavity optomechanics, the study of mechanical effects from resonant light, has recently shown remarkable sensitivities in displacements and forces (torques) --- which opened up new avenues for scientific and technological developments. One of the interesting prospects of cavity optomechanics...

Rheology of Bitumen at the Onset of Asphaltene Aggregation and its Effects on the Stability of Water-in-Oil Emulsion
DownloadFall 2015
Asphaltenes are the heaviest fraction of bitumen. Asphaltenes not only play an important role in the high viscosity of bitumen but also in the water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion stability. Nevertheless, their exact function in the stability mechanism of W/O emulsion still remains unresolved. It is...

Fabrication and testing of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy substrates for the detection of biomolecules
DownloadSpring 2014
Biosensing involves the detection of analytes using biological elements as receptor agents for the specific binding of molecules to a surface. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), a surface-sensitive vibrational spectroscopy technique used to amplify Raman signals, provides unique...

High Surface Area Nanoelectromechanical Systems via the Integration of Glancing Angle Deposition Thin Films
DownloadFall 2013
High surface area nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are fabricated using glancing angle deposition (GLAD) thin films as the high surface area layer. The GLAD films are deposited on already-released NEMS cantilevers and doubly clamped beams (DCBs) with good uniformity. The resonance frequencies...
