Description

A novel procedure combining monolayer self-assembly with electron beam lithography has been developed for attaching ferritin nanoparticles to a submicron thin-film SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device). After opening a window in the PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) resist, organic linker molecules are used to attach ferritin to the exposed parts of the gold overlayer of a Nb nanoSQUID. This allows the magnetic nanoparticles to be located optimally as far as magnetic coupling to the nanoSQUID is concerned
