Abstract :
We present nanopore and nanocone-containing nanopore arrays suited for membrane sensors. The unique potential advantages of asymmetric nanoparticle plasmonics are demonstrated for a simple setup for discriminatory, simultaneous sensing of different recognition events at two different hot spots. A novel particle lithography method based on liquid-liquid assembly to fabricate the sensor substrates is also presented.
