Fabrication of Controlled Nanostructures
Part of: GS-III- Nanotechnology (PT-MAINS-PERSONALITY TEST)
Background
Recently, the researchers at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST) Mohali have found a route to fabricate precisely controlled nanostructures of desired geometry and location on 2D materials, through a rapid one-step low power laser writing process.
INST, Mohali is an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology (DST).
About
INST developed a hybrid Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) platform of Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2, an inorganic compound) nanostructure decorated with gold NanoParticles (AuNPs).
