PS微球阵列的制备与表面增强拉曼散射研究

为了研究不同直径PS微球(表面溅射Ag膜)基底的表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)效应,制造了一个新的表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)基底。通过在n型(100)单晶硅片上采用旋涂的方法,得到不同直径的呈六角形有序排列的单层PS微球阵列,然后在PS微球阵列表面磁控溅射一层约30 nm的Ag膜。利用拉曼光谱仪以罗丹明R6G为探针进行了SERS光谱测定,分析比较了不同直径PS微球阵列的表面增强拉曼散射效应,结果表明,溅射有Ag膜的PS微球基底在不同直径下均有不同程度的SERS效应。随着微球直径的增加,PS微球阵列的起伏程度不断加强(粗糙度不断增加),SERS信号逐渐增强,当球直径达到600 nm时,峰的增强信号达到最大,进而获得了一个最优化的SERS基底。同时发现在基底上获得了高信噪比的R6G的SERS光谱, 与苯环相关的一系列CC双键伸缩振动特征谱以及与苯环相关的面内、面外变形振动特征谱均获得了明显增强。这种单一的大区域的拉曼散射基底,呈现出高低相间起伏分布的微观形貌,不同PS微球之间的空隙和深度有很明显的不同,能够显著改善表面Ag膜颗粒的大小和分布,进而提高了PS微球基底的SERS活性。该基底所具有的特殊阵列结构使其在利用SERS探究化学和生物等领域的单分子结构有很大的应用潜力。

Synthesis and Optical Properties of Anisotropic Metal Nanoparticles

In this paper we overview our recent studies of anisotropic noble metal (e.g. gold and silver) nanoparticles, in which a combination of theory and experiment has been used to elucidate the extinction spectra of the particles, as well as information related to their surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. We used wet-chemical methods to generate several structurally well-defined nanostructures other than solid spheres, including silver nanodisks and triangular nanoprisms, and gold nanoshells and multipods. When solid spheres are transformed into one of these shapes, the surface plasmon resonances in these particles are strongly affected, typically red-shifting and even splitting into distinctive dipole and quadrupole plasmon modes. In parallel, we have developed computational electrodynamics methods based on the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) method to determine the origins of these intriguing optical features. This has resulted in considerable insight concerning the variation of plasmon wavelength with nanoparticle size, shape and dielectric environment, as well as the use of these particles for optical sensing applications.     

Light Scattering by Clusters: the Al-Term Method

This paper concerns the theoretical improvement of the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) to provide scattering properties of clusters of spherical monomers. The first scattering coefficient (al-term) in Mie theory is introduced to determine the dipole polarizability used in the DDA. In the al-term method, a spherical monomer in the cluster is replaced by a single dipole. The accuracy of this method is tested to calculate extinction and scattering cross sections by a single sphere, two-touching spheres and three collinear touching spheres. It is found that when each monomer is replaced by a dipole the al-term method is superior to the different types of DDA, e.g., the Lattice Dispersion Relation (LDR), at least for the target with the volume equivalent size parameter X, 0.2≦X≦2. This method also allows treatment of a relatively large sub-volume element which is replaced by a dipole, i.e. the size parameter of the monomer X_m∼1.5. Furthermore, a great reduction in memory requirement and computing time are achieved, e.g. for two touching spheres the al-term method requires only 6% of the total memory requirement and 0.008% of the total computing time for N=8448 with the LDR.Part of this work was done when the author was in the Institute of Physics, GKSS Research Center, Postfach 1160, D-21494 Geesthacht, Germany     

Optical absorption tunability and local electric field distribution of gold-dielectric-silver three-layered cylindrical nanotube

The effects of inner nanowire radius, shell thickness, the dielectric functions of middle layer and surrounding medium on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of gold-dielectric-silver nanotube are studied based on the quasi-static approximation. Theoretical calculation results show that LSPR of gold-dielectric-silver nanotube and LSPR numbers can be well optimized by adjusting its geometrical parameters. The longer wavelength of $\left|\omega_{-}^{-}\right\rangle$ mode takes place a distinct red-shift with increasing the inner nanowire radius and the thickness of middle dielectric layer, while a blue-shift with increasing outer nanotube thickness. The physical mechanisms are explained based on the plasmon hybridization theory, induced charges and phase retardation. In addition, the effects of middle dielectric function and surrounding medium on LSPR, and the local electric field factor are also reported. Our study provides the potential applications of gold-dielectric-silver nanotube in biological tissues, sensor and related regions.

Modified surface plasmonic waveguide formed by nanometric parallel lines

In this paper, two kinds of modified surface plasmonic waveguides formed by nanometric parallel lines are proposed. The finite-difference frequency-domain method is used to study propagation properties of the fundamental mode supported by these surface plasmonic waveguide structures. Results show that the transverse magnetic field of the fundamental mode is mainly distributed in the face to face region formed by two rods. With the same geometrical parameters and the same working wavelength of 632.8~nm, in the case of rods with a triangular cross-section, the degree of localization of field is strong, i.e. the mode area is small, but the fraction of the modal power in the metal increases, so the effective index increases and the propagation length of the mode decreases. With the same geometrical parameters, relative to the case of a working wavelength of 632.8~nm, when working wavelength is large, the mode area of transverse magnetic field distribution is large, i.e. the degree of localization of field is weak, and the interaction of field and silver is weak too, then the effective index decreases, so the propagation length increases. The rounded radii of rods have a great influence on the performance of the surface plasmonic waveguides with rounded triangular cross-sections, but have little influence on the performance of surface plasmonic waveguides with rounded square cross-sections. Since the distribution of transverse magnetic field, effective index, propagation length and the mode area can be adjusted by the geometrical parameters, this kind of modified surface plasmonic waveguide can be applied to the field of photonic device integration and sensors.     

Theoretical simulation of a novel birefringent photonic crystal fiber with surface plasmon resonance around 1300 nm

In this paper, a novel birefringent photonic crystal fiber(PCF) with the silver-coated and liquid-filled air-holes along the vertical plane is designed. Simulation results show that the thickness of silver layer, the sizes of holes, and the refractive index of liquid strongly strengthen the gaps between two polarized directions. The surface plasmon resonance peak along y axis can be up to 675.8 d B/cm at 1.33 μm. The proposed PCF has important application in polarization devices, such as filters and beam splitters.
