基于表面等离子体共振效应的椭圆柱银纳米线的光力研究

运用有限时域差分方法,研究了两椭圆柱银纳米线之间的光力及其物理机制,并且分析了椭圆柱银纳米线的尺寸以及相对位置对光力的影响.结果表明:椭圆柱银纳米线的尺寸以及相对位置等结构参量的变化导致两椭圆柱银纳米线之间光力的明显变化.由于局域耦合共振,Ag纳米颗粒间的内壁上存在电子的振荡行为,将微腔中光子的能量转化成电子集体振荡的动能,这使得微腔中的电磁场能量减小到负能态,从而产生收缩的负光力.因此,Ag纳米颗粒间相互吸引.     

金属纳米颗粒的导入对顶发射OLED光取出影响的FDTD模拟与研究

由于有机发光二极管（OLED）中存在金属阴极和有机层界面,故部分光子会转化为表面等离子激元沿金属表面传播耗散掉。同时,金属阴极自身也会吸收部分光能量。这两种情况均会导致器件出光率降低。分析了在结构为Ag （100 nm）/MoO₃（5 nm）/NPB （35 nm）/EML （20 nm）/Alq₃（40 nm）/Al （20 nm）/MoO₃（50 nm）的器件内部引入银纳米颗粒（Ag NPs）或者金纳米颗粒（Au NPs）后器件出光效率的变化。同时,改变金属纳米颗粒的位置以观察其对出光效率的影响。利用有限差分时域法对无金属纳米颗粒的器件和金属纳米颗粒位于器件不同位置时的出光效率进行了模拟计算。结果显示,Ag NPs或者Au NPs都可以提高器件出光效率且Ag NPs优于Au NPs。在468 nm波长下,Ag NPs位于Al阴极表面、电子传输层（ETL）中间和Ag表面时器件的透光率分别是51.1%,50.5%和45.5%,而未掺杂Ag NPs的参考器件的透光率仅为43.3%。     

掺银氧化锌纳米棒的水热法制备研究

利用水热法在直流磁控溅射制备的掺铝氧化锌 (AZO) 种子层上制备了不同形貌和光学性能的掺银ZnO纳米棒, 并采用XRD、扫描电镜、透射谱、光发射谱和EDS谱详细研究了Ag离子与Zn离子的摩尔百分比 (R_Ag/Zn) 及AZO种子层对掺银ZnO纳米棒的结构和光学性质的影响. 随着R_Ag/Zn的增加, 掺银ZnO 纳米棒的微结构和光学性质的变化与银掺杂诱导的纳米棒的端面尺寸变化有关. 平均端面尺寸的变化归结于种子层颗粒大小和颗粒数密度不同导致掺入的Ag离子的相对比例不同. 溅射15 min的AZO种子层上生长的ZnO纳米棒由于缺陷增多导致在可见光区的发光峰明显强于溅射10 min 的AZO种子层上、相同R_Ag/Zn 条件下生长的ZnO纳米棒. Ag掺杂产生的点缺陷增多导致可见光区PL波包较宽. 纯ZnO纳米棒的微结构与种子层厚度导致的结晶度和颗粒大小有关. 关键词： ZnO纳米棒 水热法 Ag掺杂 直流磁控溅射

纳米尺度金属Ag以其独特的导电和导热性,广泛应用于微电子、光电子学、催化等领域,特别是在纳米微电极和纳米器件方面的应用.本文采用分子动力学方法模拟了不同晶粒尺寸下多晶银纳米线的拉伸变形行为,详细分析了晶粒尺寸对多晶银纳米线弹性模量、屈服强度、塑性变形机理的影响.发现当晶粒尺寸小于13.49 nm时,多晶Ag纳米线呈现软化现象,出现反Hall-Petch关系,此时的塑性变形机理主要以晶界滑移、晶粒转动为主,变形后期形成五重孪晶;当晶粒尺寸大于13.49 nm时,塑性变形以位错滑移为主,变形后期产生大量的孪晶组织.

目前,利用氧化锌(ZnO)微纳米线结构形成具有自然谐振腔的紫外激光器件引起国内外广泛关注。针对ZnO本征缺陷导致器件发光及稳定性不足等问题,开展金属局域等离子激元局域场发光增强方面的研究,对ZnO基紫外激光器件的应用具有十分重要的意义。本文通过理论仿真构建氧化锌微米线结构模型,对微腔光学损耗及Fabry-Perot(F-P)谐振腔模式演化进行了理论分析。得到ZnO微腔直径变化与F-P谐振模式演化、光学损耗和光强分布的关系。在此基础上通过金属Ag纳米颗粒对ZnO微米线6个表面进行修饰,发现金属局域表面等离子激元共振耦合效应对微腔周围的损耗光有明显的抑制作用,并且在金属与微腔的交叉区通过共振耦合效应实现局域场增强。模拟结果表明,在损耗较大的微腔表面修饰Ag纳米颗粒以后,光场限域能力提高6. 72%,而在金属颗粒之间沿X轴方向产生二次耦合现象,其电场强度更有2倍的增强效果。

基于银纳米链的马赫-曾德干涉仪结构的生物传感器

优化了一种基于表面等离激元银纳米链的马赫-曾德干涉式传感结构.该结构由参考臂、传感臂及纳米线波导构成.纳米线波导由银纳米线包裹一定厚度的硅来构成.引入两条银纳米链分别作为马赫-曾德干涉仪的参考臂和传感臂,并研究所设计结构的传输特性,通过降低传输损耗以提高所设计结构的精确度与灵敏度.相比于两条完全相同的银纳米线作为参考臂和传感臂的情况,在参考臂和传感臂改为银纳米链后,传输特性有明显提高,单位长度损耗明显降低.这是由于银纳米链中的单元结构之间的长程/库仑相互作用增强了结构中的电磁场,进而降低了传输损耗.将两条银纳米链的晶格常数设置为不同的情况,研究发现,在特定的银包硅纳米线的宽度与某些占空比下,含有非对称的银纳米链结构的单位传输损耗小于含有对称的银纳米链结构.由此可以知道,具有小损耗的银纳米颗粒链可以弥补大损耗的银纳米颗粒链的传输损失.利用这个特点,进一步优化设计结构,将一侧银纳米链改为纳米线.改变另一侧银纳米链的晶格常数与占空比,可以发现大多数情况下,这类结构传输特性优于含有两条银纳米链以及含有两条银纳米线的结构.本文的设计结构可以大幅减小传统的马赫-曾德干涉仪的传输损耗,且在结构的制备...     

基于多形貌银纳米颗粒的多波长相干随机激光研究

采用溶剂热法分别制备了球形银纳米颗粒和多形貌银纳米颗粒,其中球形银纳米颗粒具有400 nm的窄带等离激元共振峰,而多形貌银纳米颗粒的共振区间在400～700 nm之间,将它们分别掺入R6G与PVP的混合溶液中,利用旋涂法在玻璃基板上制备银纳米颗粒嵌入染料掺杂聚合物薄膜随机激光器。采用纳秒脉冲激光进行随机激光泵浦实验,实验结果表明球形银纳米颗粒染料掺杂聚合物薄膜只有自发辐射峰,而多形貌银纳米颗粒染料掺杂聚合物薄膜具有线宽<0.8 nm的相干随机激光发射光谱,其阈值为1.9 mJ·cm-2, 这可能是由于银纳米颗粒的等离激元共振区间与R6G的发射光谱重叠,支持局域等离激元效应的形成,明显的局域场增强有效地改善了与附近分子的相互作用,从而激发了更多的辐射光子,促进了高增益的形成。进一步,利用多形貌银纳米颗粒在银纳米颗粒染料掺杂聚合物薄膜中随机分布的特性,通过改变泵浦位置,实现了20 nm范围内的随机激光输出波长的调控,具体输出范围为590.1～610.4 nm。认为这是由于多形貌银纳米颗粒在不同位置的组成和分布不同,改变了表面等离激元的相互作用和光子的散射能力,从而形成不同的增益效应和不同的封闭光振荡路径。此外,考虑到多形貌银纳米颗粒的共振波长较宽,探究了其用于输出其他颜色光的可能性。以与上述银纳米颗粒R6G染料掺杂聚合物薄膜相似的制备方法,制备了多形貌银纳米颗粒掺杂DCJTB染料聚合物薄膜,并且进行随机激光泵浦实验。结果表明,可以有效的产生波长为675 nm,半高宽<0.8 nm的相干红光随机激光,并且阈值仅为0.98 mJ·cm-2。研究结果在宽带可调谐随机激光器研究以及多色随机激光器研究领域具有重要的参考价值。

Optical binding forces between plasmonic nanocubes：A numerical study based on discrete-dipole approximation

Plasmonic nanocubes are ideal candidates in realizing controllable reflectance surfaces, unidirectional nanoantennas and other plasmon-associated applications. In this work, we perform full-wave calculations of the optical forces in threedimensional gold nanocube dimers. For a fixed center-to-center separation, the rotation of the plasmonic nanocube leads to a slight shift of the plasmonic resonance wavelength and a strong change in the optical binding forces. The effective gap and the near field distribution between the two nanocubes are shown to be crucial to this force variation. We further find that the optical binding force is dominated by the scattering process while the optical forces in the wavevector direction are affected by both scattering and absorption, making the former relatively more sensitive to the rotation of(an effective gap between) the nanocubes. Our results would be useful for building all-optically controllable meta-surfaces.

Stable Fano-like plasmonic resonance: its impact on the reversal of far-and near-field optical binding force

Even for a 100 nm interparticle distance or a small change in particle shape,optical Fano-like plasmonic resonance mode usually vanishes completely.It would be remarkable if stable Fano-like resonance could somehow be achieved in distinctly shaped nanoparticles for more than 1μm interparticle distance,which corresponds to the far electromagnetic field region.If such far-field Fano-like plasmonic resonance can be achieved,controlling the reversal of the far-field binding force can be attained,like the currently reported reversals for near-field cases.In this work,we have proposed an optical set-up to achieve such a robust and stable Fano-like plasmonic resonance,and comparatively studied its remarkable impact on controlling the reversal of near-and far-field optical binding forces.In our proposed set-up,the distinctly shaped plasmonic tetramers are half immersed(i.e.air-benzene)in an inhomogeneous dielectric interface and illuminated by?circular?polarized light.We have demonstrated significant differences between near-and far-field optical binding forces along with the Lorentz force field,which partially depends on the object’s shape.A clear connection is shown between the far-field binding force and the resonant modes,along with a generic mechanism to achieve controllable Fano-like plasmonic resonance and the reversal of the optical binding force in both far-and near-field configurations.     

The negative electromagnetic attractive forces arising from kinetic energy of conduction electrons in double-layer metallic nanowire arrays

The coupled-nanowire plasmatic resonances and very strong negative electromagnetic force between the double-layer metallic nanowire arrays is investigated theoretically. The negative electromagnetic force indicates attractive interaction between the metallic nanowires with the air-gap cavity local resonance effect. Plasmon resonances lead to extremely large localized ?eld, thereby resulting in large mutual coupling forces between the double-layer metallic nanowire arrays. The light coupling into metallic microcavity can stimulate collective electron oscillations of plasmatic resonance, and cause the contraction of the negative pressure in metallic cavity wall. The electromagnetic field of the plasmatic resonance mode is mainly localized inside the air-gap region between the two wires.     

Micro-optical Characterization of Fluidic Self-assembly of Drosophila Embryos through Surface Tension: Principle, Simulation and Experiments

We describe high precision experimental and numerical characterization of the positioning forces acting on Drosophila embryos that have self-assembled onto two-dimensional arrays of hydrophobic sites on a silicon substrate in water. The forces measured using a surface micromachined optical-encoder force sensor operating in reflection, are in good agreement with numerical simulations based on an extended surface energy model for the oil-based fluidic system. The positioning forces of ellipsoidal embryos on flat pads show a linear-spring-like relationship between the force and displacement on rectangular as well as cross-shaped pads. In contrast, the positioning forces of flat silicon chips, similar in size to the embryos, are linear in the displacement only over a limited range, and are then constant up to the detachment force. The optical force characterization method and the associated surface energy model for the self-assembly process can potentially be used for design optimization of fluidic self-assembly for a wide range of applications in biology.     

Optical pulling force on nanoparticle clusters with gain due to Fano-like resonance

We demonstrate that, in a simple linearly-polarized plane wave, the optical pulling forces on nanoparticle clusters with gain can be induced by the Fano-like resonance. The numerical results based on the full-wave calculation show that the optical pulling forces can be attributed to the recoil forces for the nanoparticle clusters composed of dipolar nanoparticles with three different configurations. Interestingly, the recoil forces giving rise to optical pulling forces are exactly dominated by the coupling term between the electric and magnetic dipoles excited in the nanoparticle clusters, while other higher-order terms have a negligible contribution. In addition, the optical pulling force can be tailored by modulating the Fano-like resonance via either the particle size or the gain magnitude, offering an alternative freedom degree for optical manipulations of particle clusters.     

Plasma resonance absorption in interfacial photoemission from very thin silver films on Cu(111)

Very thin silver films deposited on a Cu(111) substrate were studied with the photoemission-into-electrolyte technique. The optical resonance absorption at the silver bulk plasma frequency was observed for films thicker than two monolayers. The correlation between optical absorption and photoemission intensities depends in a complicated fashion on the photon energy as well as the film thickness.     

Atomic force microscopical and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopical investigation of sub-micrometer metal gratings generated by UV laser-based two-beam interference in Au-Ag bimetallic layers

Metal films containing silver and gold layers having different thicknesses were evaporated on glass substrates. Two-beam interference technique was applied to irradiate the surfaces by the fourth harmonic of a pulsed mode Nd:YAG laser. The atomic force microscopical study showed that surface relief grating having a period of 900 nm corresponding to the interference pattern was developed on the metallic films. The modulation amplitude of the laser-induced gratings was increasable by enhancing the number of laser pulses at constant fluence, and a groove depth commensurable with the film thicknesses was generated at the average fluence of 39.5 mJ/cm² on bimetallic layers. The surface structure was more regular, and the modulation amplitude was larger in case of bimetallic films containing thicker gold layers. The threshold fluences of the phase transitions were determined by numerical temperature model calculations for different metal layer compositions, and a good agreement was found between the calculated and experimentally observed threshold values. The division of the metal stripes into droplets and the development of holes were explained by the melting of the entire metal layers and by the vaporization of silver at higher fluences. The angle-dependent surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy realized in Kretschmann arrangement proved that the laser-induced grating formation was accompanied by the change in the optical thickness and by the modification of the structure of the bimetallic films. Broad side wings appeared on the resonance curves caused by grating-coupling in case of appropriate rotation angle and sufficiently large modulation depth of the grating's grooves, according to our calculations. The coupling on deep gratings developed on bimetallic films containing the thinnest gold layer and on monometallic silver films resulted in separated secondary resonance minimum development. The periodic adherence of native streptavidin on the metallic gratings was detected by tapping mode AFM, and based on the shift of the secondary resonance peak.     

用于检测水环境中银离子浓度的荧光适体传感器研究

银凭借其独特的性能,在医疗材料、摄影、电子、成像等行业中应用广泛。然而,银离子被列为最具毒性的重金属离子之一,会对环境以及人类的生命健康造成严重威胁。为了灵敏、特异性的检测水环境中的银离子浓度,利用纳米金的优良光学猝灭性以及双链核酸适体捕获银离子能力更强的优点,结合荧光能量共振转移原理,提出一种用于检测水环境中银离子浓度的荧光适体传感器。将修饰SH键的核酸适体与纳米金混合形成稳定的纳米结构,并加入标记有FAM的核酸适体,形成检测银离子浓度的工作溶液。当不存在银离子时由于不匹配碱基C-C之间的排斥力导致两条核酸适体不结合,反应体系中具有较强的荧光;当存在银离子时,双链核酸适体中不匹配的C-C能与银离子通过金属离子-碱基的相互作用形成稳定的C-Ag+-C碱基对,这种复合结构的产生会拉近纳米金和荧光基团之间的距离,使得荧光信号随着银离子浓度的增加而逐渐减弱。根据加入银离子前后荧光强度的变化可实现银离子浓度的检测。同时,为了提高传感器的灵敏性和稳定性,实验优化了工作溶液中纳米金与核酸适体的浓度比、氯化钠浓度、缓冲液的pH以及培养温度等参数。结果表明,当浓度为0.012 5 g·L-1的纳米金与5 μmol·L-1核酸适体的体积比为5∶1,NaCl浓度为260 mmol·L-1,缓冲液pH 7,培养温度为30 ℃时,工作溶液初始荧光强度最强,银离子检出限为10 nmol·L-1,相关系数为R2=0.99。此外,该传感器对银离子的浓度检测表现出较好的特异性,且具有操作简单、灵敏和不引入有毒溶剂等优点,在水环境中的银离子浓度检测领域有较好的应用前景。
