These advantages give QDs the potential to overcome many of the limitations in biological research encountered by conventional dye systems.[1,2] FRET occurs when the electronic excitation energy of a donor chromophore is transferred to an acceptor molecule nearby via space dipole-dipole interaction between the donor-acceptorpair.[3] The strong distance-dependence of the FRET efficiency has been widely employed in studying the structure and dynamics of proteins and nucleic acids, in the detection and visualization of intermolecular association and in the development of intermolecular binding assays.[4] Compared with conventional chemical analysis, FRET-based analytical method has higher sensitivity and is more convenient.
Molecular beacons have become a class of DNA probes that is widely used in biology, biotechnology and medical sciences for biomolecular recognition.[10] Molecular beacons (MBs) with hairpin structure were used as DNA probe to control the distance between the acceptors and donors electron (Fig 1).
In hair pin structured molecular beacon, both the acceptor and donor are connected on the two ends of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) with a stem-loop structure for detecting specific nucleic acids (target DNA).

Such SEG-VLS growth of highly p-doped (> 5x1019 cm3) 4H-SiC areas was successfully demonstrated recently on large area circular-shaped structures buried down to 1 µm [2].
The crystal growth results needed to be completed by electrical characterization of PiN diode structures.
This is the purpose of the work presented in this paper.  Experiments Fig. 1 and 2 display the structure of the fabricated and characterized PiN diodes with 300 µm diameter.
The 1 µm depth bowl-shaped structures were obtained by optical lithography and SF6/O2 Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) patterning.
This work paves the way towards the use of this technique for the achievement of new devices for power electronics, including deeply buried peripheral protection zones such as guard rings or JBS structures.

Introduction One-dimensional (1D) SiC nanostructures have recently attracted much attention due to the unique physical and chemical properties of this material, coupled with the advantages of a 1D structure.
Up to now, only few papers have reported the fabrication of nanometer scale SiC structures by top-down approach [[] A.
Therefore, a hexagonal and rhombus based pyramid structures have been obtained for α-SiC (0001) and β-SiC (001) substrates, respectively.
As a result, the morphology of etched SiC nanopillars on 6H-SiC (11-20) substrate shows a distorted pentagon-based pyramid structure (Fig. 1h and 1l).
A hexagonal and rhombus based pyramid structures have been obtained for α-SiC (0001) and β-SiC (001) substrates, respectively.

The structures of the TiO2 samples was carried out using x-ray diffractometer BRUKER D8 Advance with diffraction angle of 10-60o.
From Fig. 1 it is shown that the TiO2 nanostructures exhibit a vertical nanorod-like morphology that resulting a grass structures.
The present samples also exhibit high density vertical TiO2 nanorod without any deteriation on the nanorod structures.
This could be due to the damage on the structure by higher concentration ammonia treatment that causes the oxidation of the TiO2 structure.

The direct foaming method is particularly suitable for the fabrication of open and closed porous structures with pore size between 30 µm and 1 mm, while the sacrificial template method is usually used to prepare the porous structures with small pore size under 10 µm.
Alternatively, it was reported that the open porous network structure was obtained when the preceramic polymer infiltrated into the confined sphere packed bed inside the micro-channel [9].
Compared with the above foam with 500-nm pores, this SiCN foam displayed thinner wall structure with higher extent of ordered structure, which is attributed to stronger interconnection among PS spheres due to the sedimentation of larger and heavier spheres as shown in Fig. 2a.
The isotherm quickly rised above a relative pressure of 0.9, which indicated that the macroporous structure was developed in the solid SiCN network.

Thus, most studies have relied on similar gas sensor structure (i.e. deposition of sensing film on top of electrode).
In this paper, we have reported the fabrication of low-cost and flexible NH3 gas sensor using inkjet printing technique on a basis of a novel sensor structure and electronic ink formula.
Schematic diagram of sensor structure is displayed in Fig. 1a.
This effect arises from the different sensor structure leading to difference of the dominant sensing mechanism.
With our electronic ink formula and new design of sensor structure, the sensor exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity to NH3 at room temperature.

It was found that at 0.4 mTorr, the coating consisted of a nanograin structure with grain size of 100 nm.
The coating was also transformed from a fibrous structure into a faceted structure at higher nitrogen pressures.
On the other hand, XRD analysis of the (Cr,Al)N samples showed that two major crystal structures namely CrN (B1 NaCl cubic structure) and β-Cr2N (hexagonal close packed structure) were contained in the coatings (Fig. 4).
The microstructure of the coatings also changed from a faceted structure to a densified fibrous structure with reduced surface roughness.

Membrane surface chemistry The chemical functional group analysis of the membrane variations with the addition of silica and nanocellulose can be identified using FTIR.
Membrane morphology can be visualized by SEM for both cross-sectional and surface structures.
The SEM analysis results are shown in Figure 3, where all membranes have an asymmetric structure.
In conclusion, the best morphological structure of the membrane is in Figure (e) and (f).
This is because the surface structure has larger pores with the thinnest dense layer.

The FT-IR results indicated that the structure of hydrogels from both ASC and PSC were organized into complex structures.
The network structures are adhered by the methylcellulose.
Such small peaks might be the complex structure of water-salt.
