Abstract: Provided are methods, devices and systems that utilize free-surface fluidics and SERS for analyte detection with high sensitivity and specificity. The molecules can be airborne agents, including but not limited to explosives, narcotics, hazardous chemicals, or other chemical species. The free-surface fluidic architecture is created using an open microchannel, and exhibits a large surface to volume ratio. The free-surface fluidic interface can filter interferent molecules, while concentrating airborne analyte molecules. The microchannel flow enables controlled aggregation of SERS-active probe particles in the flow, thereby enhancing the detector's sensitivity.

Abstract: Quantum dot and quantum wire semiconductors in the nanosize range are produced by a process which utilizes a microporous aluminum oxide surface layer on an aluminum metal substrate as a template for the semiconducting material. The microporous surface layer is prepared by anodizing an aluminum substrate in an acid bath. Then a metal capable of forming a semiconductor compound is electrodeposited into the surface micropores, the oxide is partially or wholly etched away, and the deposited metal is reacted with a liquid or gaseous reagent to convert it chemically to a semiconducting compound. By the process of the invention, there are produced quantum dot or quantum wire semiconductors in the form of an array of substantially mutually parallel, substantially uniform-sized rods of semiconductor material protruding from an electrically conductive substrate, each rod having a diameter less than 100 nanometers.
