Abstract
A heterostructure device and method allow for detection and identification of a chemical substance. The device includes one or more atomically-thin conducting layers and one or more atomically-thin insulating layers including one or more nanogaps that cross and form one or more nanopores.
Claims20
A heterostructure device, comprising:
- a first conducting layer including a first nanogap;
- a first insulating layer including a second nanogap;
- and
- a first nanopore formed at a first crossing point of the first nanogap and the second nanogap wherein the nanopore extends through the first conducting layer and the first insulating layer.
