چکیده
project TET 6644 " Machining technologies for nanochannels and interfacing ". Front cover: Signal from a single quantum dot moving inside 1D nanochannels. Back cover: Fluorescent signal inside 2D nanochannels. I would like to dedicate this thesis to my wonderful mother for my upbringing and her support all the time, to my kind father for his pleasure of my achievements, to my sweetheart, Duy Ha for his extreme patience and unlimited encouragement and to my lovely daughter, Hoang Anh who makes my life overwhelmingly joyful and completely meaningful.

Fabrication and electroosmotic flow measurements in micro- and nanofluidic channels
An easy method for fabricating microand nanofluidic channels, entirely made of a thermally grown silicon dioxide is presented. The nanochannels are up to 1-mm long and have widths and heights down to 200 nm, whereas the microfluidic channels are 20-lm wide and 4.8-lm high. The nanochannels are created at the interface of two silicon wafers. Their fabrication is based on the expansion of growing...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of Four Electrolyte Models for the Prediction of Thermodynamic Properties of Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions
In this work, the performance of four electrolyte models for prediction the osmotic and activity coefficients of different aqueous salt solutions at 298 K, atmospheric pressure and in a wide range of concentrations are evaluated. In two of these models, (electrolyte Non-Random Two-Liquid e-NRTL and Mean Spherical Approximation-Non-Random Two-Liquid MSA-NRTL), association between ions of opposit...
متن کاملNanochannels on a fused-silica microchip and liquid properties investigation by time-resolved fluorescence measurements.
We have fabricated nanometer-sized channels, demonstrated a technique for the introduction of liquid into the channels, and carried out time-resolved fluorescence measurements of aqueous solutions. In this study, 330-nm- and 850-nm-sized channels were fabricated on fused-silica substrates by fast atom beam etching and hydrofluoric acid bonding methods. A liquid introduction method utilizing cap...
متن کاملToward the Physical Basis of Complex Systems: Dielectric Analysis of Porous Silicon Nanochannels in the Electrical Double Layer Length Range
Dielectric analysis (DEA) shows changes in the properties of a materials as a response to the application on it of a time dependent electric field. Dielectric measurements are extremely sensitive to small changes in materials properties, that molecular relaxation, dipole changes , local motions that involve the reorientation of dipoles, and so can be observed by DEA. Electrical double layer (ED...
متن کاملStructure and relaxation processes of an anisotropic molecular fluid confined into 1D nanochannels
Structural order parameters of a smectic liquid crystal confined into the columnar form of porous silicon are studied using neutron scattering and optical spectroscopic techniques. It is shown that both the translational and orientational anisotropic properties of the confined phase strongly couple to the one-dimensional character of the porous silicon matrix. The influence of this confinement ...
