1 – Introduction<br />
Biosensors based on the detection <strong>of</strong> fluorescence and/or surface plasmon resonance (SPR) are widely used<br />
owing to their ease <strong>of</strong> processing. Whereas fluorescence detection is more sensitive, SPR devices have the<br />
interest <strong>of</strong> allowing for a label-free detection. In most cases, the change in the resonance <strong>of</strong> propagating<br />
surface plasmons is detected. When surface plasmons are confined on metallic nanostructures, localized<br />
optical modes are observed, leading to highly localized electromagnetic fields in the vicinity <strong>of</strong> the particles.<br />
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is sensitive to local refractive index changes that occur when<br />
surface reactions take place. The bonding <strong>of</strong> chemical and biological ligands to LSPR interfaces is mostly<br />
performed through the formation <strong>of</strong> Au-S bonds by the use <strong>of</strong> thiolated molecules, which can limit the<br />
sensing performances.<br />
2 – Abstract<br />
We have designed LSPR biosensors based on a thin layer <strong>of</strong> hydrogenated amorphous silicon-carbon alloy<br />
(a-SixC1-x:H) deposited by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) on a gold<br />
nanostructure, with optimized optical sensitivity and surface chemistry. This allows for incorporating<br />
carboxyl–terminated molecules bound to the surface via Si-C covalent bonds. Such functions make the probe<br />
immobilization easy through reaction with amine terminations. The sensitivity is maximized by optimization<br />
<strong>of</strong> the amorphous layer thickness and the carbon content.<br />
3 – Conclusion<br />
DNA hybridization can be detected by following the change in the device absorbance. Using the same<br />
substrates, we can also detect the hybridization by fluorescence, which is enhanced by the LSPR. The<br />
obtained sensitivity allows for monitoring the hybridization <strong>of</strong> DNA probes with their complementary DNA<br />
in situ and in real time. Many successive hybridization/dehybridization cycles have been recorded without<br />
measurable changes. Quite low background fluorescence is measured, allowing for the convenient detection<br />
<strong>of</strong> the hybridization from low-concentration target solutions (down to 5 fM).<br />

1 – Introduction<br />
In this work the nanocrystalline films with Frank-Kasper structure were examined as material for creating <strong>of</strong><br />
quantum dots. An ability to create all-inorganic Quantum Dots may be considered for Co80C20, Tb30Fe70,<br />
Fe86Mn13C and Co50Pd50 films.<br />
