LED-controlled tuning of ZnO nanowires' wettability for biosensing applications. (2015)
Journal Article
BHAVSAR, K., ROSS, D., PRABHU, R. and POLLARD, P. 2014. LED-controlled tuning of ZnO nanowires' wettability for biosensing applications. Nano reviews [online], 6, Article 26711. Available from:https://doi.org/10.3402/nano.v6.26711

Background: Wettability is an important property of solid materials which can be controlled by surface energy. Dynamic control over the surface wettability is of great importance for biosensing applications. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a biocompatible materi...

Highly textured and transparent RF sputtered Eu2O3 doped ZnO films. (2015)
Journal Article
SREEDHARAN, R. S., GANESAN, V., SUDARSANAKUMAR, C. P., BHAVSAR, K., PRAHBU, R. and PILLAI, V.P.P.M., 2015. Highly textured and transparent RF sputtered Eu2O3 doped ZnO films. Nano reviews [online], 6, Article 26759. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3402/nano.v6.26759

Background: Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide, direct band gap II-VI oxide semiconductor. ZnO has large exciton binding energy at room temperature, and it is a good host material for obtaining visible and infrared emission of various rare-earth ions. Method...

Investigations on surface wettability of ZnO nanowires using UV LEDs for biosensing applications. (2014)
Journal Article
BHAVSAR, K., PRABHU, R. and POLLARD, P. 2014. Investigations on surface wettability of ZnO nanowires using UV LEDs for biosensing applications. IOP conference series: materials science and engineering [online], 64, Article 012033. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/64/1/012033

ZnO is a biocompatible material suitable for biosensors and microfluidic devices. Nanowires of ZnO tend to show hydrophobic nature which decelerates the adhesion/adsorption of biomolecules on the surface. This paper discusses the investigations on tu...
