Preparation of Silica Microspheres Containing Ag Nanoparticles

Two sol-gel fabrication processes were investigated to make silica spheres containing Ag nanoparticles: (1) a modified Stöber method for silica spheres below 1 m size, and (2) a SiO₂-film formation method on spheres of 3–;7 m size. The spheres were designed to incorporate silver nanoparticles of high ⁽³⁾ in a spherical optical cavity structure for the resonance effect. For the incorporation, interaction between [Ag(NH₃)₂]⁺ ion and Si-OH was important. In the Stöber method, the size of the silica spheres was determined by a charge balance of plus and minus ions on the silica surface. In the film formation method, the capture of Ag complex ion on the silica surface depended on whether the surface was covered with OH groups or not. After doping [Ag(NH₃)₂]⁺ into silica particles or SiO₂ films on the spheres, these ions w ere reduced by NaBH₄ to form silver nanoparticles. From plasma absorption at around 420 nm wavelength and TEM photographs of nanometer-sized silver particles, their formation inside the spherical cavity structures was confirmed.

According to calculating results, exponent parameter of the molecule bulk ratio in the model was corrected to 1.1, so the simulating error was remarkably reduced from ≤65% to <20%. It showed that influence of the molecule bulk ratio on refractive index distribution in GI POF is great.

Photon‐Upconverting Nanoparticles for Optical Encoding and Multiplexing of Cells,Biomolecules, and Microspheres

Photon‐upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are lanthanide‐doped nanocrystals that emit visible light under near‐infrared excitation (anti‐Stokes emission). This unique optical property precludes background fluorescence and light scattering from biological materials. The emission of multiple and narrow emission lines is an additional hallmark of UCNPs that opens up new avenues for optical encoding. Distinct emission signatures can be obtained if the multiple emission of UCNPs is tuned by their dopant composition or by surface modification with dyes. Tuning the intensity of only one of the multiple emission lines and using another one as a constant reference signal enables the design of ratiometric codes that are resistant to fluctuations in absolute signal intensities. Combining several UCNPs each displaying a distinct set of emission lines expands the coding capacity exponentially and lays the foundation for highly multiplexed analyte detection. This Review highlights the potential of UCNPs for labeling and encoding biomolecules, microspheres, and even whole cells.

Optical emission spectroscopy as a real time diagnostic tool for plasma-assisted deposition of TiN

Real-time optical emission spectroscopy (OES) was used to monitor the deposition of TiN both from mixtures of tetrakis(dimethylamino)titanium (TDMATi)-N₂ and TiCl₄-H₂-N₂ in an electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapor deposition system. The accurate control of the ratio of the emission intensities of ionized nitrogen at 391.4 nm and molecular nitrogen at 357.7 nm (N ₂ ⁺ /N₂) led to low temperature deposition of stoichiometric TiN (Ti/N ≈ 1) and very low resistivity in both cases. It was found that high ion density plasmas are crucial for a considerable reduction of the deposition temperature while maintaining good film quality. OES shows that the abundance of certain excited plasma species is not only dependent on the gas mixture and the deposition parameters, such as total pressure and microwave power, but also is strongly affected by the magnetic field configuration. The deposition rate and the film resistivity can be related to the emission intensity ratio, I(N ₂ ⁺ )/I(N₂). Finally, the two processes are compared in terms of the quality of as-deposited and heat-treated films. The comparison shows that the films obtained with TDMATi exhibit lower resistivity and are thermally more stable than with TiCl₄.

A New Sol-Gel Derived Optical Fiber Sensor for High Acidity Measurements: Application in Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing

Nuclear fuel reprocessing requires high acidity levels that should be accurately and rapidly controlled in order to optimize extraction yields and process efficiency. A new optical fiber sensor based on a sol-gel film doped with an acid-sensitive indicator has been developed to improve remote and on-line monitoring.The organic molecule was physically incorporated in an acid-catalyzed sol-gel matrix and coated onto the core of a denuded optical fiber. The sensor response was evaluated in synthetic solutions of nitric acid, concentrations ranging from 1 to 10 mol · l^–1. Changes in absorption properties and response characteristics of the sensor, when compared to the indicator in solution, have been discussed. Analytical performances of the sensor, i.e. sensitivity, response time, reversibility and repeatability are very encouraging for the on-line analysis. Viability of the sensor for process measurements depends on the stability which might be improved by a strict control of the sensitive film porosity.

An Optical Emission Study on Expanding Low-Temperature Cascade Arc Plasmas

The optical emission spectra from expanding low-temperature cascade arc plasmas were studied. The objective of this study was to examine the distinctive features of low-temperature cascade arc plasmas in comparison with a radio frequency (RF) plasma source. The principal results obtained in this study were: (1) in an expanding cascade arc plasma jet, active heavy particles (mainly excited argon or helium neutral species under our operating conditions), rather than electrons, are responsible for the excitation of reactive species when a reactive gas is injected into the plasma jet, (2) the excitation of reactive species was found to be controlled by the electronic energy levels of these excited argon or helium neutrals, (3) changing the operating parameters affected only the emission intensities of excited species, and no effect on the emission nature of plasmas was observed.

Effect of Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown on the Structure of Bsa Molecules in Aqueous Solutions: An Optical Study

The influence of laser radiation of a typical surgical laser on the physicochemical properties of the Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) protein was studied. It was established that the physicochemical characteristics of optical breakdown weakly depend on the concentration of protein molecules. At the same time, the patterns observed for an aqueous solution of BSA irradiated with a laser for different time periods were extremely similar to the classical ones. It was established that after exposure to laser radiation, the optical density of protein solutions increases. At the same time, the intensity of BSA fluorescence due to aromatic amino acid residues decreases insignificantly after exposure to laser radiation. In this case, the position of the excitation and emission maximum does not change, and the shape of the fluorescence spot on 3D maps also does not change significantly. On the Raman spectrum after exposure to laser radiation, a significant decrease in 1570 cm⁻¹ was observed, which indicates the degradation of α-helices and, as a result, partial denaturation of BSA molecules. Partial denaturation did not significantly change the total area of protein molecules, since the refractive index of solutions did not change significantly. However, in BSA solutions, after exposure to laser radiation, the viscosity increased, and the pseudoplasticity of aqueous solutions decreased. In this case, there was no massive damage to the polypeptide chain; on the contrary, when exposed to optical breakdown, intense aggregation was observed, while aggregates with a size of 400 nm or more appeared in the solution. Thus, under the action of optical breakdown induced by laser radiation in a BSA solution, the processes of partial denaturation and aggregation prevail, aromatic amino acid residues are damaged to a lesser extent, and fragmentation of protein molecules is not observed.     

Optical emission spectroscopy of CF4+O2 plasmas using a new technique

Optical emission intensities in the sheath region are not the same as those in the plasma region. This is because not only the electron density, but also the electron temperature, is different between the two regions. In this study a Cu rod is inserted into the plasma, and the rod potential is altered from the ground potential to a negative potential with a frequency of 20 Hz. The optical emission ray comes from the sheath region when the negative potential is applied, but comes form the plasma region at the ground potential. We can immediately detect the difference of the emission intensities between the plasma and the sheath regions by a lock-in amplifier. The pre-amplifier is placed prior to the lock-in amplifier. By using this pre-amplifier the output signal of the lock-in amplifier can be adjusted to zero for any emission line. the emission spectra from a CF₄+O₂ plasma are measured. A small amount of Ar gas and/or N₂ gas is added and the output signal of the lock-in amplifier is adjusted to zero for either the Ar emission line or the N₂ emission line. In a fluorine-contained plasma the F emission intensity normalized by the Ar one has been widely used in order to obtain the F density. This validity is confirmed by the present experiment. It is also confirmed that the CO emission intensity normalized by that of N₂ is proportional to the CO density. The metastable states play an important role in the optical emission intensities of CO and N₂ molecules.     

Bioapplications Manipulated by AIEgens with Nonlinear Optical Effect

The modern medicine requires precise diagnostic techniques while the fluorescent imaging shows great potential in such applications due to its excellent sensitivity and high resolution.However,conducting fluorescent imaging in deep-tissue is not so easy because most luminogens show short-wavelength excitation,which may undergo severe light scattering by the bio-tissue.The marriage of fluorescent imaging with nonlinear optical(NLO)effect can alleviate such adverse effects by utilizing NIR laser to reduce light scattering.On the other hand,scientists are enthusiastic in pursuing luminescent materials,which can match well with NLO application.Aggregation-induced emission(AIE)materials exhibit huge advantages in such aspect not only because of its high luminescent efficiency in aggregate state but also due to its excellent photo-stability(a key factor to meet laser application because of its ultrahigh energy density).Inspired by this,many interesting and meaningful works have sprung up based on AIE luminogens with NLO effect in recent years,and for such reason,it motivates us to summarize them to give a systematic presentation.Here,we first give a brief introduction of the principle of NLO effect.Secondly,the strategies for improving the NLO effect of AIE materials,such as increasing molecular conjugation,introduction of donor-acceptor effect,induction of centrally asymmetric array of AIE molecules in crystals and introduction of intermolecular interactions are clarified.In the final part,we also present the multiple applications of AIEgens with NLO effect in cell imaging,deep-tissue tumor and brain blood vessel imaging and photodynamic therapy.We believe,with this review,the topic will attract more attention from the scientists in multi-science field to accelerate the development of AIE materials in biomedical applications.
