A study on the sizes and concentrations of gold nanoparticles by spectra of absorption, resonance Rayleigh scattering and resonance non-linear scattering

Liquid phase gold nanoparticles with different diameters and colors can be prepared using sodium citrate reduction method by controlling the amounts of sodium citrate. The mean diameters of gold nanoparticles are measured by transmission electron microscope (TEM). Gold nanoparticles with different sizes have specific absorption spectra. When the diameters of nanoparticles is between 12 and 41 nm, the maximum absorption peaks locate at 520-530 nm and there are red shifts gradually with the increase of diameters of gold nanoparticles. And when the size of gold nanoparticle is constant, the absorbance is proportional to the concentration of gold. Obvious resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) and the resonance non-linear scattering such as second-order scattering (SOS) and frequency-doubling scattering (FDS) appear at the same time as well, and the maximum scattering peaks are located at 286 nm (RRS), 480 nm (SOS) and 310 nm (FDS), respectively. When the concentration of gold is constant, absorbance and the intensities of RRS, SOS and FDS (I(RRS), I(SOS) and I(FDS)) have linear relationships with the diameters of gold nanoparticles. When the diameter of gold nanoparticle is constant, the absorbance and I(RRS), I(SOS), I(FDS) are directly proportional to the concentrations of gold nanoparticles. Therefore, it is very useful for studying the liquid phase gold nanoparticles by investigating the absorption, RRS, SOS and FDS spectra.

电聚合苯胺过程的在线紫外-可见光谱

用在线紫外-可见光谱电化学的方法对0.5mol/L硫酸水溶液中苯胺在ITO导电玻璃电极上的电化学聚的过程进行了研究.结果表明在循环伏安条件下苯胺发生了电聚合,聚合速率与苯胺浓度成正关系;而且在线紫外-可见电化学光谱表明,在0.01mol/L苯胺溶液的电聚合过程的诱导期较长.恒电位条件下的在线紫外-可见电化学光谱显示苯胺浓度为0.05mol/L,电位为0.8V时,在ITO电极上苯胺低聚合物中间体可能产生于聚苯胺形成之前;而0.01mol/L苯胺在0.8V电位下不发生聚合,但在线紫外-可见光谱又显示此时在电极上可能存在小的苯胺低聚物的中间体;在线紫外-可见光谱表明这种中间体是可能产生并存在电极表面上的.     

Separation and detection of individual submicron particles by capillary electrophoresis with laser-light-scattering detection

Separation and detection of individual submicron polystyrene spheres using capillary electrophoresis with laser-light-scattering detection has been demonstrated. Electrophoretically separated particles were passed through a focused laser beam and light scattered from individual particles was collected at 90 degrees. Each diameter of polystyrene spheres injected (from 110 to 992 nm) resulted in the observation of a well-defined migration window containing multiple peaks, each arising from the light scattered by an individual particle. The migration time window for individual particles of a particular size corresponded well to the migration time of a peak from a population of particles of the same size detected using a UV absorbance detector. The electrophoretic mobility and scattered light intensity were determined for each particle detected. The average scattered light intensity for each particle size was consistent with Mie scattering theory. Particles as small as 110 nm in diameter were detected individually using this method, but particles with a diameter of 57 nm could not be individually detected. The number of single particle scattering events was counted and compared to the theoretical number of particles injected electrokinetically, and the detection efficiency determined ranged from 38 to 57% for polystyrene spheres of different sizes. The laser-light-scattering detection method was directly compared to laser-induced fluorescence detection using fluorescent polystyrene microspheres. The number of particles detected individually by each method was in agreement.     

Angular-ratiometric plasmon-resonance based light scattering for bioaffinity sensing

We describe an exciting opportunity for affinity biosensing using a ratiometric approach to the angular-dependent light scattering from bioactivated and subsequently aggregated noble metal colloids. This new model sensing platform utilizes the changes in particle scattering from very small colloids, which scatter light according to traditional Rayleigh theory, as compared to the changes in scattering observed by much larger colloidal aggregates, formed due to a bioaffinity reaction. These larger aggregates no longer scatter incident light in a Cos(2) theta dependence, as is the case for Rayleigh scattering, but instead scatter light in an increased forward direction as compared to the incident geometry. By subsequently taking the ratio of the scattered intensity at two angles, namely 90 degrees and 140 degrees , relative to the incident light, we can follow the association of biotinylated bovine serum albumin-coated 20 nm gold colloids, cross-linked by additions of streptavidin. This new model system can be potentially applied to many other nanoparticle assays and has many advantages over traditional fluorescence sensing and indeed light-scattering approaches. For example, a single nanoparticle can have the equivalent scattered intensity as 10(5) fluorescing fluorescein molecules substantially increasing detection; the angular distribution of scattered light from noble metal colloids is substantially easier to predict as compared to fluorescence; the scattered light is not quenched by biospecies; the ratiometric measurements described here are not dependent on colloid concentration as are other scattering techniques; and finally, the noble metal colloids are not prone to photodestruction, as is the case with organic fluorophores.

曙红Y的共振光散射与共振荧光

Dynamic light scattering and small-angle neutron scattering studies on organogels formed with a gelator

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and light scattering studies were carried out on an organogel consisting of a gelator, coded P-1, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The gelator was made of an oligosiloxane stem and about eight branches of an amino acid derivative combined with a long alkyl chain. The amino acid part, N-n-pentanoyl-L -isoleucylaminooctadecane, was responsible for intermolecular association via hydrogen bonding between amide groups. After the complete dissolution of P-1 in DMSO at 85 °C, the solution was cooled, and the variations of the scattered light intensity were monitored as a function of the temperature. The scattered intensity increased drastically at about 40 °C when the P-1 concentration (C) was 3.5 g/L, and this indicated gel formation. The SANS results showed that the scattering intensity function was a monotonically decreasing function, regardless of C. A master relationship of the scattering intensity was obtained with respect to C. These scattering studies disclosed the following facts. First, gelation could be monitored as an abrupt increase in the intensity. Second, the gel was composed of randomly oriented bundlelike clusters. Third, the structure factor could be reduced by the gelator concentration, and this indicated the presence of a self-similar structure across the gelation threshold. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Potential dependence of specular reflection from polyaniline film

Specular reflection from polyaniline films is in-situ studied as a function of potential. Intensity of the reflected 633 nm light of He–Ne laser is low for the neutral film, but it increases drastically by oxidizing the polymer film. Upon further oxidation, the reflectance decreases greatly. The initial rise of reflectance is ascribed to a transition from diffuse reflection to specular reflection resulting from a conformational change of polyaniline. The decay of reflectance at higher potentials is accounted for in terms of absorption of the 633 nm light due to oxidized polyaniline film. Time course of reflectance changes induced by stepping of the potential is also investigated.

Investigations of the optical properties of thin, highly absorbing films under attenuated total reflection conditions: Leaky waveguide mode distortions

Spectra of thin highly absorbing Nafion films doped with Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ on SF11 glass substrates were studied by internal reflection spectroscopy using a single reflection configuration. For the system under study, two modes of light interaction with the film are available: attenuation due to evanescent wave penetration and light propagation within the absorbing film. Unlike evanescent wave spectroscopy, light propagation within the film causes distortions in the measured spectra due to leaky waveguide propagation modes. Upon light propagation in a film doped with Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ spectral shifts up to 50 nm to longer wavelengths can occur and additional absorbance peaks can appear in the spectra. These film-based distortions depend on the complex refractive index, the thickness of the film and the angle of incidence. These effects become significant for an extinction coefficient above 0.01 and a film thickness above 200 nm. It is shown that spectral distortions can lead to quite complex dynamics in the internal reflection spectra upon analyte preconcentration in the film. Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ partitioning into the Nafion film causes significant refractive index changes that in turn alter leaky waveguide mode conditions in the film and, can even lead to a reduction of measured absorbance despite the increase in the extinction coefficient of the film.

Luminescence effect of silver nanoparticle in water phase

Yellow silver nanoparticles in water phase were prepared by microwave synthesis method. Study found that there is a fluorescence peak at 465 nm and a strongest resonance scattering peak at 460 nm for the nanoparticles. The resonance scattering intensity at 465 nm I(460 nm). fluorescence intensity at 465 nm F(465)(nm) and absorbance at 455 nm A(455 nm) were found linear to the concentration c(Ag) in the range from 0 to 3.5x10(-4)mol/L Ag, with linear regression equation for I(460 nm)=48.1x10(4) c(Ag)+3.69 and F(465 nm)=28.7x10(4)c(Ag)+3.50 and A(455 nm)1.23x10(4)c(Ag)+0.01, their regression coefficient for 0.9976, 0.9954 and 0.9957, respectively. When the c(Ag) was over 3.5x10(-4)mol/L, the resonance scattering peak and fluorescence peak of 465 nm take place red-shift and display luminescence quenching, but the absorption peak place does not change and the absorption intensity enhances. The paper reports the spectral properties of silver nanoparticles in water phase, and offers the principle of interface luminescence electron to state the luminescence effect of silver nanoparticles.     

Elastic light scattering from nanoparticles by monochromatic vacuum-ultraviolet radiation

Elastic light scattering is reported using monochromatic vacuum-ultraviolet radiation to study free, spherical silica nanoparticles prepared by approaches from colloidal chemistry, with diameters between 100 and 240 nm. The colloidal nanoparticles of defined size are transferred from an aqueous solution into the gas phase using a particle beam experiment. After focusing of the particle beam by an aerodynamic lens, the scattered light from monochromatic synchrotron radiation is measured. Angle-resolved elastically scattered light is detected, showing a strong forward-scattering component. Additional evidence for the detection of elastically scattered light comes from plotting the scattered light intensity as a function of the dimensionless parameter qR, where q is the magnitude of the scattering wave vector and R is the particle radius. This yields different power-law regimes that are assigned to scattering from the surface and the bulk of the nanoparticles. Furthermore, there is evidence for modulations in the scattered light intensity as a function of scattering angle, which is clearly distinguished from the forward-scattering component. The experimental results are compared to Mie scattering simulations for isolated particles, yielding general agreement with the experimental results. Deviations from Mie simulations are observed for samples consisting of significant amounts of aggregates. The present results indicate that the optical properties of free nanoparticles are sensitively probed by vacuum-ultraviolet radiation.
