无机纳米粒子的二阶光学非线性研究进展

非相干的超瑞利散射(HRS)技术是20世纪90年代发展起来的用于测定分子发色团一阶超极化率β的有效工具。由于它与惯用的相干二次谐波发生(SHG)和电场诱导二次谐波发生(EFISHG)技术相比较,不受样品的尺寸、取向和/或电荷的限制,因此近四五年来被使用来测定无机纳米粒子的一阶超极化率,并取得了一些重要的结果。文章介绍了HRS技术的一般原理、实验装置及数据处理方法。根据目前报导的实验结果,并结合我们的工作,探讨了纳米粒子超瑞利散射的几种可能机制:表面贡献、类体相贡献、聚集体贡献、共振增强的贡献以及粒子表面静电场和溶剂场的贡献,其中特别强调了表面贡献。指出用HRS技术研究纳米粒子二阶光学非线性这一新的领域正逐步吸引越来越多的科学家的兴趣,将成为非线性光学和纳米科学交叉领域的一个热点。

Second-order Nonlinearities of CdS Nanoparticles Studied by Hyper-Rayleigh Scattering Technique

Optical nonlinearities of semiconductor nanoparticles are of great interest recently. So fartheir third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties have been widely studied. However,there are only few studies on second-order NLO properties, because it is believed that thecentrosymmetry or near-centrosymmetry of spherical nanoparticles eliminate their firstorder hyperpolarizability 6 values to'zero or near zero. And for a long time it remains aproblem to directly study the second-order=NLO pro…     

核壳结构CdS/ZnS纳米微粒的制备与光学特性

CdS and CdS/ZnS core-shell structure nano particles were synthesized in micro emulsion, and characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV absorption spectra and PL. The average diameter of CdS was about 3.3 nm, and CdS/ZnS core-shell structure was confirmed by XRD and UV. Considering the optical properties of CdS/ZnS core-shell structure nanoparticles which have different ZnS shell thickness, the UV absorption edge of CdS/ZnS becomes as lightred-shift with the thickness of ZnS layer increasing, and the absorption of shortwave band is strongly enhanced at the same time. The PL spectra indicate that ZnS shell layer can greatly eliminate surface defects of CdS nanoparticles and make its band-edge directed recombination increased, and the luminous efficiency of CdS is improved greatly when it has appropriate shell thickness.     

Surface-Modified CdS/ZnO Material: Single-Reactor Synthesis and Mechanism of Formation in Aqueous Solution

Method of chemical precipitation from aqueous solutions was used to cover the surface of polycrystalline ZnO nanotubes with a nanostructured CdS layer. The thus synthesized CdS/ZnO composite material was studied by the methods of X-ray diffraction analysis, electron microscopy, and optical spectroscopy. The fundamental time-related aspects of the process of CdS formation on the ZnO surface were examined. It was found that the amount of deposited CdS nanoparticles is independent of the deposition duration. The morphological specific features of ZnO nanotubes are preserved upon a prolonged keeping of ZnO in solution. The photocatalytic activity of CdS/ZnO under visible and UV light was examined in the reaction of hydroquinone oxidation. A possible mechanism of how the CdS/ZnO composite is formed in an aqueous solution in the course of growth of a layer constituted by CdS nanoparticles on the surface of ZnO nanotubes is suggested on the basis of the experimental data. It is demonstrated that the chemical-precipitation method can be used to obtain surface-active composite materials that are photoactive in the visible spectral range.     

Enhancement of third-order optical nonlinearities in 3-dimensional films of dielectric shell capped Au composite nanoparticles

The composite nanoparticles of Au-core capped by CdS shells of different thickness were prepared and assembled into densely packed 3-dimensional films by the layer-by-layer self-assembly (LBL) technique. These films exhibited the 3-dimensional structure of densely packed Au@CdS composite nanoparticles and the shell thickness was tunable by changing the concentration of Cd2+-thiourea complexes. These multilayer films exhibited enhanced third-order optical nonlinear responses and ultrafast response times (several picoseconds). The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of the film with the CdS shell thickness of 4.4 nm was estimated to be 1.48 x 10(-9) esu and the value decreases with the increase of the CdS shell thickness. The enhancement of the optical nonlinearity was explained based on the calculation according to the electrostatic approximation by the solution of Laplace's equation under the boundary conditions appropriate to the model of core-shell nanoparticles, and mainly attributed to localized electric field effects in the CdS shell region. Additionally, the nonlinearity was optimized by determination of the values of the dielectric constant and thickness of the different shell.     

Study on the behavior of hyper-rayleigh scattering for silver nanoparticles with aggregation effects

The absorption spectra as well as the Hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) signals of a highly monodisperse 10.5-nm diameter silver colloids with the addition of KNO(3) and pyridine have been measured. Strongly enhanced HRS signals are observed by 15x and 6x, respectively. Through size distribution and TEM measurements, the morphology of aggregated silver nanoparticles has been observed as a chainlike aggregation. The dramatically enhanced second-order nonlinearity was explained by the enhanced electromagnetic (EM) field near the surface of the silver nanoparticles as they approached. The different enhancement between these two kinds of aggregates was considered with the diversity of separated distance between silver nanoparticles. The experimental results reveal that there is an optimum size for the aggregates to yield the maximum HRS response.     

Size Dependence of First-order Hyperpolarizability of CdS Nanoparticles Studied by Hyper-Rayleigh Scattering

The second-order optical nonlinearity of CdS nanoparticles with different diameters of 28.0, 30.0, 31.5, 50.0, and 91.0 A was studied by hyper-Rayleigh scattering technique. Results show that the first-order hyperpolarizability P value per CdS partiele decreases as size is reduced to diameter of 31.5 A; however, as CdS size further decreases, this trend is reversed and (J value increases. Substantially, the normalized P value per CdS formula unit, β0, exhibits systematic enhancement with decreasing size. This phenomenon is interpreted in terms of a so-called surfaee contribution mechanism.     

A simple CdS nanoparticles cascading approach for boosting N3 dye/ZnO nanoplates DSSCs overall performance

Enhanced photosensitization in presence of CdS nanoparticles is achieved in electrochemically deposited ZnO nanoplates and N3 loaded dye-sensitized solar cells. Chemically embedded CdS nanoparticles act as a sandwiching layer between ZnO nanoplates and dye molecules by overcoming current limiting serious Zn²⁺/dye insulating complex formation and CdS photo-corrosion issues. The X-ray diffraction and the scanning electron microscopy confirm the ZnO with vertically aligned nanoplates, perpendicular to the substrate surface. Amorphous CdS is monitored using electron dispersive X-ray analysis. The low and high resolution transmission electron microscope images confirm the presence of CdS nanoparticles over ZnO nanoplates which later is supported by an increase in optical absorbance and shift in band edge. About 400% increase in solar conversion efficiency with this cascade arrangement is achieved when compared with without CdS which could be fascinating while designing solid state solar cells in presence of suitable p-type layer.     

Effect of the Spherical Silica Surface on the Photoluminescence of the Loaded CdS Nanoparticles

CdS nanoparticles were formed on the surface of silica microspheres by the improved layer‐by‐layer self‐assembled technique. High‐resolution electron microscope (HRTEM) image and energy dispersive x‐ray analysis (EDX) confirmed formation of a quasi‐continuous CdS nanoparticles film on the silica microspheres. The results of UV‐vis and fluorescence spectra display that the spherical silica surface has a great effect on the photoluminescence of the loaded CdS nanoparticles. In contrast to the CdS nanoparticles powder, the composite can exhibit the emission ascribed to the band gap transition when the CdS nanoparticles film is relatively thick. This phenomenon is probably due to an enhancement of the crystallinity of CdS nanoparticles induced by the silica spheres.

Pure surface plasmon resonance enhancement of the first hyperpolarizability of gold core-silver shell nanoparticles

We report the optical second harmonic (SH) response from gold core-silver shell nanoparticles supported at a liquid-liquid interface in the spectral region where the second harmonic generation (SHG) frequency is resonant with the surface plasmon (SP) resonance excitation of the nanoparticles. We compare these results with that obtained by classical linear optical absorption spectroscopy and show that the nonlinear optical response is dominated by the SP resonance enhancement with negligible contributions from the interband transitions. As a result, the SH spectrum exhibits two clear SP resonance bands attributed to the two SP resonances of the composite nanostructure formed by the gold core-silver shell nanoparticles. Absolute values of the hyperpolarizabilities are measured by hyper Rayleigh scattering (HRS) and compared that of pure gold nanoparticles. The hyperpolarizability measured at a harmonic energy of 3.0 eV, enhanced through excitation of the high energy SP resonance of the nanoparticle, increases with the silver content whereas the hyperpolarizability measured at a harmonic energy of 2.4 eV, enhanced through the excitation of the low energy SP resonance of the nanoparticle, decreases because of the shift of this resonance away from the harmonic frequency. The hyperpolarizability determined by HRS and the square root of the SHG intensities, scaling with the nanoparticle hyperpolarizability, have similar trends with respect to the silver content indicative of closely related adsorption properties yielding similar surface concentrations at the liquid-liquid interface.
