Hydrothermally synthesized microclusters of SrCuSi4O10 crystals. We are interesting in exploring the hydrothermal chemistry of the metal copper tetrasilicate system in order to better match the size and morphology of our NIR emitting crystals to application.

The image shows a 10*10, 1.5mm long, 400 micron pitch Utah Neural Wireless Electrode array for communicating with individual neurons from the brain. The substrate consists of machined crisscross channels which are 500 μm deep, filled with glass frits (insulator between each electrode), with backside metallization (not visible in the picture) using microfabricaion techniques for integration with the electronics. The frontside of the array is machined into 100 electrodes on a wafer level followed by acid etching of the columns to form pointed needles with fine surface texture. The tips of all the electrodes are coated with Iridium oxide in order to communicate with neurons during the stimulation and recording from the brain.

A micropillar is provided with lateral contacts in order to generate an in-plane electrical field inside the cavity. The contacts are formed by focused ion beam induced deposition of platinum between a gold layer and the micropillar. The image was colorized (Pt: blue, Au: yellow, micropillar: red).

Nanostructured hydroxyapatite powder with biopolymers. Microparticles formed by nanoparticles of hydroxyapatite crystals, with needle shape and stabilized with polymer surfactants, resulting in a structure similar to a blackberry. In the field of regenerative medicine, there is a great use of this biomaterial due to the similarity to the main inorganic constituent of natural bone and teeth. The synthetic hydroxyapatite has excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity to be used as a suitable bone substitute.

Hydrothermally synthesized BaFeSi4O10 crystals of varying sizes. We are interested in the hydrothermal chemistry of BaFeSi4O10 both for what insights this method can provide into the geological formation of gillespite, the mineral form of BaFeSi4O1O, and as a potential route for making novel hybrid materials with other metals.
