What we do
The Micro-Nano Innovation Lab ("mini lab") @Hamlyn investigates and utilises light-matter interactions to develop new intelligent sensing and robotic strategies in micro/nano scales. The research involves designing and fabricating micro/nanostructures for diagnostics (e.g. infections, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases) and microscopic therapies/surgeries (e.g. localised drug delivery, novel minimally invasive treatment).

The effect of structure on the photoactivity of a graphene/TiO<inf>2</inf> composite
, Materials Science and Engineering: B, Vol: 184, Pages: 72-79, ISSN: 0921-5107Graphene/TiO2 composites have been investigated as promising novel photoactive materials. Graphene can slow the recombination of electron-hole pairs and act as a strong electron-collector in the graphene/TiO2 composite system. We designed and prepared four different structures of graphene/TiO2 composite film by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and aerosol technique. The structure of the graphene/TiO2 composite had a significant effect on the photoactive properties, including the photocurrent and resistance under UV illumination. For the different composite structures, the presence of oxygen and water molecules, as well as the photo-generated electron collection efficiency, were the key factors that affect the photoactive properties. More importantly, the composite structure was a decisive factor for the stability of photocurrent and resistance. The composite of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and TiO2 with irregularly stacked structure had a higher and stable photoresponse. This study could provide a basis for the structural design of photoelectrical devices based on graphene/TiO2. © 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Novel environmental monitoring sensor technologies with fiber optics and various sensing layers
In this study, we have suggested various sensors for aerosol, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and biomolecules detecting with diverse sensing layers such as, tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), thymol blue, polypyrrole, graphene, graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), DNA, and so on. Every sensors have shown very interesting sensing characteristics with good performances. Steadily, we are proceeding various fiber optic sensors with fascinating sensing layers and mechanisms as well.

Highly air-stable phosphorus-doped n-type graphene field-effect transistors.
, Adv Mater, Vol: 24, Pages: 5481-5486Phosphorus-doped double-layered graphene field-effect transistors (PDGFETs) show much stronger air-stable n-type behavior than nitrogen-doped double-layered graphene FETs (NDGFETs), even under an oxygen atmosphere, due to strong nucleophilicity, which may lead to real applications for air-stable n-type graphene channels.
