Résumé
Functionalizing the surface of chalcogenide films is of major interest due to the wide use of these materials in infrared integrated optics. A functionalization route via short peptides that has been already used for silicon, ZnSe and other semiconductors is applied to amorphous films of the ternary Ge-Se-Te system. The biotinylated 12-mer peptides LLADTTHHRPWT and SVSVGMKPSPRP were chosen and used to capture streptavidin. High-resolution atomic force microscopy images highlight that the 12-mer peptide LLADTTHHRPWT provides better interface layers for streptavidin molecule detection.
