Abstract
The bactericidal properties of chemically patterned lithium niobate substrates under a super-bandgap UV light source is established. UV irradiation of lithium niobate surfaces inoculated with bacteria leads to antimicrobial activity compared to a glass substrate under similar conditions, as determined by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy and corroborated with a fluorescence-based live/dead assay. This finding may expand the possible biomedical applications of lithium niobate.
