Single-Electron Transistors Templated on Self-Assembled DNA Scaffolds

摘要

In this project, the PIs have successfully demonstrated several methods for controlled assembly of inorganic nanostructures based on chemical and biochemical techniques. These results include: - electroless metallization of DNA to form nanowire interconnects; -lithographic modification of the surface chemistry to create patterns for attachment of DNA and metallic nanoparticles; -single electron transistors based on individual nanoparticles; - control of length and directionality of DNA superstructures by incorporation of double strand DNA bridges in stepwise assembly processes.
