Abstract:
The present developmental trend is towards the new types of devices with compact size, which led to the miniaturization, better performance, reliability coupled with low cost production, low pack weight where the thin film devices and components are preferred than bulk counterparts. Nowadays the research has been raised in thin film technology due to its extensive applications in the diverse fields such as optics (anti reflection coatings, solar cells), mechanics (adhesion providers, hard layers), magnetic (Squids, video tapes), space science, semiconductor technology (resistors, capacitors), chemistry (protection against corrosion, sensors), aircrafts, defense (coatings on components) and other industries. Out of these, chromogenic devices based on electro-chromism highly attract researchers where the optical modulation (transmittance, reflectance) takes place in a reversible manner with the application of a low voltage. The schematic representation of electro-chromic window consists of seven layers. The thin films of the suitable electro-chromic layer (tungsten trioxide) and the stock layer (vanadium pentoxide) are coated with either physical or chemical vapor deposition technique at desired parameters. The liquid or solid can be used as electrolytes. In this connection our investigations are towards to improve the efficiency, response time and stability of electro-chromic layer of tungsten trioxide

Abstract:
Biosensors have witnessed an everlasting interest because of their wide applications in different areas including medicine, biomedical, environment and food industries. Biosensors are one type of small devices for detecting target analyte that are usually bio-molecules such as antigen, antibody, protein, peptide, enzyme, DNA and RNA. A biosensor can be defined as a compact analytical device or unit incorporating a biological or biologically derived sensitive recognition element or bio-receptor integrated or associated with a physiochemical transducer. The bio-receptor recognizes the target analyte, while the transducer converts the recognition event into a measurable signal which can be weighted and measured electrically, optically, electrochemically or mass-sensitive. The uniqueness of a biosensor is that the two components; bio-receptor and transducer are integrated into one single sensor. Many different fabrication techniques for different types of biosensors have been examined in this presentation. The utilization of new coming Nano-Materials (NMs) has promoted the development of DNA biosensors towards the goal of smart, simple and inexpensive detection for targets analyses. Ideal NMs must comprise a range of fundamental properties like the ease in preparation, availability and an abundance of functional groups, large surface/volume ratio and chemical stability for the use as a suitable matrix in biosensor fabrication. Crucial parameters such as sensitivity, specificity and selectivity are discussed in this presentation.
