A microfabricated optofluidic ring resonator (μOFRR) sensor for volatile organic compounds (VOC) is described. SiO_x optical resonators integrated into a microfluidic pathway were defined lithographically and fabricated via Si micromachining. Whispering gallery mode resonances with quality factors exceeding 10~4 were excited in devices with diameters of 50-250 μm and wall thicknesses of 1.5-2 μm. Fluidic interconnections and structures for alignment of optical fiber waveguides were integrated into the larger μOFRRs. Devices coated internally with a thin PDMS layer exhibit shifts in resonant wavelengths during VOC exposure with sub-ng detection limits. In related work, selective VOC measurements obtained with plasmonic films of functionalized nanoparticles are described, with a goal of using them in place of polymer coatings in the μOFRR. A thin film of octanethiolate monolayer protected gold nanoparticles (MPN) was coated on a planar substrate and capped with a microfluidic cell. Reflected light from one of two single wavelength sources (783 nm and 488 nm) was measured during separate dynamic exposures to two VOCs. The decrease in reflected light intensity, due to film selling and changes in the local surface plasmon resonance band, was proportional to the VOC concentration. The ratio of responses at each wavelength provided a pattern unique to each VOC.
In this paper, we present a planning approach for automated high-speed transport of cells over large distances inside an Optical Tweezers (OT) assisted microfluidic chamber. The transport is performed in three steps t...

This research explores the nonlinear elastic properties of two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide. We derive a thermodynamically rigorous nonlinear elastic constitutive equation and then calculate the nonlinear elastic response of two-dimensional MoS2 with first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The nonlinear elastic properties are used to predict the behavior of suspended monolayer MoS2 subjected to a spherical indenter load at finite strains in a multiple-length-scale finite element analysis model. The model is validated experimentally by indenting suspended circular MoS2 membranes with an atomic force microscope. We find that the two-dimensional Young's modulus and intrinsic strength of monolayer MoS2 are 130 and 16.5 N/m, respectively. The results approach Griffith's predicted intrinsic strength limit of σint∼E9, where E is the Young's modulus. This study reveals the predictive power of first-principles density functional theory in the derivation of nonlinear elastic properties of two-dimensional MoS2. Furthermore, the study bridges three main gaps that hinder understanding of material properties: DFT to finite element analysis, experimental results to DFT, and the nanoscale to the microscale. In bridging these three gaps, the experimental results validate the DFT calculations and the multiscale constitutive model.

Patterning ultrathin MoS2 layers with regular edges or controllable shapes is appealing since the properties of MoS2 sheets are sensitive to the edge structures. In this work, we have introduced a simple, effective and well-controlled technique to etch layered MoS2 sheets with well-oriented equilateral triangular pits by simply heating the samples in air. The anisotropic oxidative etching is greatly affected by the surrounding temperature and the number of MoS2 layers, whereby the pit sizes increase with the increase of surrounding temperature and the number of MoS2 layers. First-principles computations have been performed to explain the formation mechanism of the triangular pits. This technique offers an alternative avenue to engineering the structure of MoS2 sheets.
