Enhanced photoluminescence of CdSe quantum dots by the coupling of Ag nanocube and Ag film

The coupling of local surface plasmon(LSP) of nanoparticle and surface plasmon(SP) mode produced by metal film can lead to the enhanced electromagnetic field, which has an important application in enhancing the fluorescence of quantum dots(QDs). Herein, the Ag nanocube and Ag film are used to enhance the fluorescence of CdSe QDs. The enhancement is found to relate to the sizes of the Ag nanocube and the thickness of the Ag film. Moreover, we also present the fluorescence enhancement caused by only SP. The result shows that the coupling between metal nanoparticles and metal film can realize larger field enhancement. Numerical simulation verifies that a nanocube can localize a strong electric field around its corner. All the results indicate that the fluorescence of QDs can be efficiently improved by optimizing the parameters of Ag film and Ag cubes.     

A novel method to prepare Au nanocage@SiO_2 nanoparticle

Gold （Au） nanocage@SiO2 nanoparticles are prepared by a novel approach. The silver （Ag） nanocube@SiO2 structure is synthetized firstly. Next, the method of etching a SiO2 shell by boiling water is adopted to change the penetration rate of AuCl4- through the SiO2 shell. AuCl4- can penetrate through silica shells of different thickness values to react with the Ag nanocube core by changing the incubation time. The surface plasma resonance （SPR） peak of synthetic Au nanocage@SiO2 can be easily tuned into the near-infrared region. Besides, CdTeS quantum dots （QDs） are successfully connected to the surface of Au nanocage@SiO2, which testifies that the incubation process does not change the property of silica.     

数字正交锁相解调算法在可调谐激光光谱密封药瓶水汽浓度测量中的应用

密封药瓶内的药物在储存过程中，时常会因为保存方式不当，产品质量不合格等问题导致其气密闭性变差，极易与空气中的各种气体发生化学反应引起药品变质，影响其正常使用。因此，可以通过药瓶内部各种气体浓度的测量及时反映出药品的储存状态。其中水汽(H₂O)是空气中的常见气体且极易与药品产生反应，药瓶中H₂O浓度的测量是判断瓶内药物是否变质的重要依据之一。实际检测药瓶内水汽浓度的传统方法或通常需要直接接触到样品才能做出判断，很难做到无损检测，样品处理过程较为繁琐，耗时耗力，难以实现对大量药瓶的实时无损测量，所以需要一个实时快速非接触式检测容器密封性的方法。为了高效检测并实时监控密封药品存储容器(药瓶)内的水汽浓度，提出了一种可调谐半导体激光吸收光谱(TDLAS)的数字正交锁相解调算法，并对该算法的可行性及有效性进行了实验验证。药瓶采用长12 cm宽9 cm高64 cm的可透光聚乙烯(PE)材质；中心波长为1 391 nm的分布式反馈(DFB)激光器作为光源，搭建了基于数字正交锁相解调算法的TDLAS药品检漏测量系统，以数字锁相解调代替了传统的锁相解调并且研究...
