Tailored Light Trapping in Forest of Decorated Silica Nanowires

Highly disordered (forest) SiO₂ nanowires (NWs), obtained by oxidizing SiNWs, have been decorated with metal (Au, Ag) nanoparticles (NPs). These hybrid structures combine strong scattering properties and optical transparency of SiO₂ NWs, w

Silica Nanowires decorated with metal nanoparticles as 3D plasmonic materials

A new class of plasmonic materials have been developed by decorating silica NWs decorated with metal NPs. These materials are characterized by morphological and optical features

Highly Disordered Array of Silicon Nanowires for scalable and performing biosensing platform

Synthesis of Advanced Materials - Rome Unit

The activity of material synthesis at IMM Rome has two main objectives:

CORTICONIC

CORTICONIC is a European three years project. In particular, CORTICONIC belongs to Research Area: ICT-2011.9.11 FET Proactive; Neuro-Bio-Inspired Systems.

Corticonic, echoing electronics, consists of abstracting salient features of cortical organization for use in the simulation of the cortex executing higher level brain functions. Our final objective is to identify computational principles of the cerebral cortex underlying network dynamic patterns. In our long term vision, interfacing with the brain will take place:

Flexible sensing systems based on polysilicon thin film transistors technology

Wearable electronics and pervasive ambient computing are two scenarios where largely distributed flexible sensors networks are expected to be heavily used.

WOCSDICE 2011

Date:

2011-05-29 to 2011-06-01

The 35^th Workshop on Compound Semiconductor Devices and Integrated Circuits (WOCSDICE 2011) was held in Catania from 29^th May to 1^st June, 2011, organized by CNR-IMM.

The aim of the conference was to bring together internationally recognised researchers, young scientists and engineers to present state-of-the-art research findings in the areas of compound semiconductors, devices and integrated circuits.
