基于光热效应的显微光谱技术在单粒子检测中应用和发展

高灵敏度的单粒子检测技术是纳米粒子在生物医学、化学、光电子等领域应用的前提条件。常见的单粒子检测技术主要包括基于粒子的荧光、拉曼、散射和吸收等信号而发展起来的光学显微成像及光谱技术。其中,拉曼光谱和荧光光谱技术主要适用于一些具有拉曼活性的分子/粒子或可发光的荧光分子或粒子,然而即使对于荧光效率高的有机染料分子和半导体纳米粒子,固有的光漂白和blinking现象也对单粒子探测形成了挑战。散射光谱测量是应用于单粒子检测的另外一种方法,从理论上讲,由于瑞利散射随着尺寸的减小而呈六次方减弱的趋势,在细胞或生物组织内,小尺寸粒子的散射信号很难从背景散射噪声中分离出来。众所周知,介质吸收激发光后会引起介质内的折射率变化,进而在光加热区附近出现折射率的梯度分布,称为光热效应(photothermal effect)。基于粒子光热效应的光学显微成像和光谱测量技术具有信号灵敏度高、无背景散射、原位和免标记等优点,在单粒子检测领域展现了良好的应用潜力。综述了近年来基于光热效应的显微光谱技术在单粒子检测中应用和研究发展,首先介绍了光热效应的测量原理;接着分别讨论了光热透镜测量技术、微分干涉相差测量技术和光热外差测量技术的实验装置,比较了各种测量技术的信噪比、灵敏度、分辨率等特点,并且介绍这些测量技术在单粒子检测中的应用研究进展;接着,论述了近年来研究人员在提高光热显微测量的信噪比、改善动态测量性能以及在红外波段拓展等方面的最新研究成果;最后,简单总结了光热测量技术在单粒子检测领域所面临的挑战。

Limiting possibilities of the analysis of the microparticle parameters in the emulsions by the light scattering methods

Two most important characteristics of a light scattering instrument for the measurement of the microparticle parameters in emulsions and gases are discussed. These characteristics are the resolution and the accuracy of particle size measurement. In order to obtain the most reliable data, likely interpretation methods of the measurement results are compared.     

Colloidal Analysis of Particles Extracted from Microalloyed Steels

Different colloidal particle characterization methods are examined for their suitability to determine the particle size distribution of particles extracted from steels. Microalloyed steels are dissolved to extract niobium and titanium carbonitride particles that are important for the mechanical properties of these steels. Such particles have sizes ranging from several nanometers to hundreds of nanometers depending on the precipitation stage during the thermomechanically controlled rolling process. The size distribution of the particles is analyzed by dynamic light scattering (DLS), analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), and hollow fiber flow field-flow fractionation (HF5) and compared to data obtained for reference particles as well as data from electron microscopy, the standard sizing technique used in metallurgy today. AUC and HF5 provide high-quality size distributions, average over large particle numbers that enables statistical analysis, and yield useful insights for alloy design; however, DLS fails due to a lack of resolution. Important aspects in the conversion and comparison of size distributions obtained for broadly distributed particle systems with different measurement principles and the role of surfactants used in sample preparation are discussed.     

Intercomparison of Inversion Algorithms for Particle‐Sizing Using Mie Scattering

The applicability of different inversion algorithms to retrieve a size distribution of particles in air from light scattering is examined. The investigation is focused on an optical measurement setup with an elliptical mirror as the main optical element. In order to evaluate the capabilities of the individual inversion methods, light scattering by spherical particles is simulated in the size ranges of 0.1 – 10 μm and 0.05 – 1 μm. The distribution of the particle diameters is modeled with three different parametric functions, i.e., RRSB, logarithmic‐normal and a more specific distribution from an ultrasonic nebulizer. Different kinds of noise, e.g., additive and/or multiplicative, are applied in different levels to the simulated scattering measurement to include real physical measurement conditions. The convergence properties of the scattering simulation are investigated with respect to the number of size classes, and thus, information concerning the size resolution required to simulate a measurement for a given particle size distribution is obtained. Further parameters of interest are the minimum angular resolution of the measurements, the number of size classes of the retrieved particle size distribution and the measured polarization of the scattered light.     

A technique for active measurement of atmospheric transmittance using an imaging system: implementation at 10.6 μm wavelength

An active method is presented for measuring atmospheric transmittance with an imaging system. In comparison to other measurement methods, this method has the advantage of immunity to background noise, independence of atmospheric conditions such as solar radiation, and an improved capability to evaluate effects of turbulence on the measurements. Other significant advantages are integration over all particulate size distribution effects including very small and very large particulates whose concentration is hard to measure, and the fact that this method is a path-integrated measurement. Attenuation deriving from molecular absorption and from small and large particulate scatter and absorption and their weather dependences are separated out. Preliminary results indicate high correlation with direct transmittance calculations via particle size distribution measurement, and that even at 10.6 μm wavelength atmospheric transmission depends noticeably on aerosol size distribution and concentration.

Simultaneous measurement of particle size, velocity, andtemperature in thermal plasmas

The in-flight measurement of particle parameters (size, velocity, temperature, and local number density) can prove insight into the plasma processing of solid materials. A measurement technique for simultaneously obtaining the size, velocity, and temperature of particles entrained in high-temperature flow fields is described. Particle size and velocity are obtained from a combination laser-particle-sizing system and laser Doppler velocimeter. The particle temperature is determined by a two-color pyrometry technique and the data rate is a measure of relative particle number density. Typical measured temperatures and velocities for the 5-100 μm particles used in plasma spraying are 1600-3500 K and 100-300 m/s, respectively. Since particle size, velocity, and temperature are measured simultaneously, cold particles (<1600 K) are identified and their relative number density can be quantified. Data from two plasma spray systems, a metal one (Ni-Al) and a metal oxide one (Al₂O₃), are presented and their application to understanding the plasma spray-coating process is illustrated     

Particle Sampling and Real Time Size Distribution Measurement in H2/O2/TEOS Diffusion Flame

Growth characteristics of silica particles have been studied experimentally using in situ particle sampling technique from H₂/O₂/Tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) diffusion flame with carefully devised sampling probe. The particle morphology and the size comparisons are made between the particles sampled by the local thermophoretic method from the inside of the flame and by the electrostatic collector sampling method after the dilution sampling probe. The Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) image processed data of these two sampling techniques are compared with Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) measurement. TEM image analysis of two sampling methods showed a good agreement with SMPS measurement. The effects of flame conditions and TEOS flow rates on silica particle size distributions are also investigated using the new particle dilution sampling probe. It is found that the particle size distribution characteristics and morphology are mostly governed by the coagulation process and sintering process in the flame. As the flame temperature increases, the effect of coalescence or sintering becomes an important particle growth mechanism which reduces the coagulation process. However, if the flame temperature is not high enough to sinter the aggregated particles then the coagulation process is a dominant particle growth mechanism. In a certain flame condition a secondary particle formation is observed which results in a bimodal particle size distribution.

Characterization of Pyrogenic Powders with Conventional Particle Sizing Technique: I. Prediction of Measured Size Distributions

Pyrogenic powders consist of fractal like aggregates with nanosized primary particles. The formation of such aggregates, their hydrodynamic behavior and their optical properties are in principle well understood. Even so, there is only little experience in interpreting results from particle sizing of such materials. Dramatic differences in size distribution obtained from different measurement techniques give frequently rise to confusion on the “true” aggregate size. However, such differences can be attributed to the different particle properties used for size measurement and to the different types of quantities, by which the frequency of the individual size fractions are weighted. For two conventional sizing techniques, Dynamic Light Scattering and Optical Centrifugation Analysis, the influence of the structural properties on the relevant optical and hydrodynamic aggregate properties is discussed on the basis of virtual aggregates as well as of empirical data for pyrogenic powders. Finally measurable size distributions are predicted in a case study.     

A Multi‐Electrode Approach for On‐Line Characterisation of Size and Shape

A multi‐electrode approach is proposed for on‐line characterisation of particle size and shape in dilute particulate suspensions. Based on an electrozone principle, the approach uses four electrodes in a tube rather than two electrodes across an aperture employed in conventional methods. The outer two electrodes are used for current injection, while the inner two electrodes yield voltage measurement. A sensor designed in this way can reduce errors of false counts and oversizing that may occur in conventional methods, thus providing more accurate particle sizing. It is also possible to use the signal slope along with signal peak for particle size and shape characterisation. Both theoretical modelling and experiments were conducted, showing that particle aspect ratio along with particle diameter can be obtained, for example, for cylindrical particles.
