A colloidal synthesis method was developed to produce face centered cubic (fcc) Cu nanoparticles in the presence of surfactants
in an organic solvent under an Ar environment. Various synthetic conditions were explored to control the size of the as-prepared
nanoparticles by changing the precursor, varying the amount of surfactants, and tuning the reaction temperature. Transmission
electron microscopy (TEM), selected-area electron diffraction, and high-resolution TEM were used as the main characterization
tools. Upon exposure to air, these nanoparticles are oxidized at different levels depending on their sizes: (1) an inhomogeneous
layer of fcc Cu2O forms at the surface of Cu nanoparticles (about 30 nm); (2) Cu nanoparticles (about 5 nm) are immediately oxidized into
fcc Cu2O nanoparticles (about 6 nm). The occurrence of these different levels of oxidization demonstrates the reactive nature of
Cu nanoparticles and the effect of size on their reactivity. Furthermore, utilization of their chemical reactivity and conversion
of spherical Cu nanoparticles into CuS nanoplates through the nanoscale Kirkendall effect were demonstrated. The oxidization
and sulfidation of Cu nanoparticles were compared. Different diffusion and growth behaviors were involved in these two chemical
transformations, resulting in the formation of isotropic Cu2O nanoparticles during oxidization and anisotropic CuS nanoplates during sulfidation.

The chemical composition of the functional surfaces of substrates used for microarrays is one of the important parameters
that determine the quality of a microarray experiment. In addition to the commonly used contact angle measurements to determine
the wettability of functionalized supports, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry
(ToF-SIMS) are more specific methods to elucidate details about the chemical surface constitution. XPS yields information
about the atomic composition of the surface, whereas from ToF-SIMS, information on the molecular species on the surface can
be concluded. Applied on printed DNA microarrays, both techniques provide impressive chemical images down to the micrometer
scale and can be utilized for label-free spot detection and characterization. Detailed information about the chemical constitution
of single spots of microarrays can be obtained by high-resolution XPS imaging.

A review of standoff detection technologies for explosives has been made. The review is focused on trace detection methods
(methods aiming to detect traces from handling explosives or the vapours surrounding an explosive charge due to the vapour
pressure of the explosive) rather than bulk detection methods (methods aiming to detect the bulk explosive charge). The requirements
for standoff detection technologies are discussed. The technologies discussed are mostly laser-based trace detection technologies,
such as laser-induced-breakdown spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, laser-induced-fluorescence spectroscopy and IR spectroscopy
but the bulk detection technologies millimetre wave imaging and terahertz spectroscopy are also discussed as a complement
to the laser-based methods. The review includes novel techniques, not yet tested in realistic environments, more mature technologies
which have been tested outdoors in realistic environments as well as the most mature millimetre wave imaging technique.

An experimental apparatus combining Raman spectroscopy with acoustic levitation, Raman acoustic levitation spectroscopy (RALS),
is investigated in the field of physical and chemical analytics. Whereas acoustic levitation enables the contactless handling
of microsized samples, Raman spectroscopy offers the advantage of a noninvasive method without complex sample preparation.
After carrying out some systematic tests to probe the sensitivity of the technique to drop size, shape, and position, RALS
has been successfully applied in monitoring sample dilution and preconcentration, evaporation, crystallization, an acid–base
reaction, and analytes in a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy colloidal suspension.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a potent tool in bioanalytical science because the technique combines high sensitivity
with molecular specificity. However, the widespread and routine use of SERS in quantitative biomedical diagnostics is limited
by tight requirements on the reproducibility of the noble metal substrates used. To solve this problem, we recently introduced
a novel approach to reproducible SERS substrates. In this contribution, we apply ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy to investigate
the photo-induced collective charge-carrier dynamics in such substrates, which represents the fundamental origin of the SERS
mechanism. The ultrafast experiments are accompanied by scanning-near field optical microscopy and SERS experiments to correlate
the appearance of plasmon dynamics with the resultant evanescent field distribution and the analytically relevant SERS enhancement.
Figure Ultrafast time-resolved differential absorption spectroscopy combined with scanning near-field optical microscopy (left) and
atomic force microscopy (right) yields insight into the photoinduced charge-carrier dynamics in innovative reproducible SERS-substrates

This paper reports on an integrated analytical approach for the noninvasive characterization of Chinese nephrite samples,
encompassing both geological reference specimens and museum objects. Natural variations induced by cationic substitutions,
as well as human-induced alterations such as heating, which both affect color, are the focus of this contribution. Totally
noninvasive methods of analysis were used, including X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman microspectroscopy, visible reflectance
spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction; moreover, the feasibility of using a portable Raman spectrometer for the in-field identification
of jades has been demonstrated. Fe/Fe+Mg (% p.f.u.) ratios of the jades have been calculated based on hydroxyl stretching
Raman bands, which will provide an important addition to similar data that are being collected at major museums in the Western
and Eastern hemispheres.

The present work describes, for the first time, in situ electrochemical preparation of dendrimer-encapsulated Cu nanoparticles
using a self-assembled monolayer of fourth-generation amine-terminated polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer as the template. Atomic
force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies of the modified surface confirmed the presence of
Cu nanoparticles entrapped in dendrimer film. Au electrode modified with a monolayer of the dendrimer enables preconcentration
and subsequent voltammetric detection of Cu2+ at picomolar concentrations. Further, Cu nanoparticles in the dendrimer monolayer could be electrochemically derivatised
to Cu hexacyanoferrate, which exhibits specific crystal planes, unlike the random distribution of crystal planes in bulk-formed
Cu hexacyanoferrate, which is another catalytically active material for sensor applications.

Asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AsFlFFF) was used to determine the size distribution of drug-loaded core/shell
nanoparticles which have a lipid core of lecithin and a polymeric shell of a Pluronic. AsFlFFF provided separation of the
drug-loaded core/shell nanoparticles from smaller coreless polymeric micelles, thus allowing accurate size analysis of the
drug-loaded nanoparticles without interference by the coreless micelles. It was found from AsFlFFF that the drug-loaded nanoparticles
have broad size distributions ranging from 100 to 600 nm in diameter. It was also found that, after the nanoparticles had
been stored for 70 days, they disappeared as a result of self-degradation. Being a separation technique, AsFlFFF seems to
be more useful than transmission electron microscopy or dynamic light scattering for size analysis of core/shell nanoparticles,
which have broad and bimodal size distributions.

Integrated analytical techniques were used to study the tissue distribution and structural information of gold nanorods (Au
NRs) in Sprague-Dawley rats through tail intravenous injection. Before in vivo experiments were conducted, careful characterization
of Au NRs was performed. The zeta potential proved that adsorption of bovine serum albumin on Au NRs turned the surface charges
from positive to negative as in an in vitro simulation. The biodistribution of Au NRs was investigated quantitatively by inductively
coupled plasma mass spectrometry at different time points after injection. As target tissues, both liver and spleen were chosen
to further demonstrate the intracellular localization of Au NRs by the combination of transmission electron microscopy and
energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Moreover, synchrotron-radiation-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy was employed and
it was observed that long-term retention of Au NRs in liver and spleen did not induce obvious changes in the oxidation states
of gold. Therefore, the present systematic method can provide important information about the fates of Au NRs in vivo and
can also be extended to study the biological effects of other metallic nanomaterials in the future.

Monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) feature unique surface properties that enable numerous applications. Thus,
there is a need for simple, rapid, and accurate methods to confirm the surface structures of these materials. Here, we describe
how laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) can be used to characterize AuNPs with neutral, positively, and
negatively charged surface functional groups. LDI readily desorbs and ionizes the gold-bound ligands to produce both free
thiols and disulfide ions in pure and complex samples. We also find that LDI-MS can provide a semi-quantitative measure of
the ligand composition of mixed-monolayer AuNPs by monitoring mixed disulfide ions that are formed. Overall, the LDI-MS approach
requires very little sample, provides an accurate measure of the surface ligands, and can be used to monitor AuNPs in complex
mixtures.

A three-step gradient reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed for the separation
of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), its sulfate ester (DHEA-S), its three C7-oxidized metabolites (7αOH-DHEA, 7βOH-DHEA, 7-keto-DHEA),
and its biosynthetic congeners (androstenedione, testosterone, estradiol, pregnenolone). This new method allows the quantitative
characterization of DHEA metabolism and biosynthetic transformation under given physiological, pathological, or therapeutically
influenced circumstances. Tetrahydrofuran probably acts as a proton acceptor coadsorbent, while isopropanol behaves as a proton
donor during the separation of testosterone, estradiol, and the stereoisomers of 7-OH-DHEA.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering for protein detection 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Proteins are essential components of organisms and they participate in every process within cells. The key characteristic
of proteins that allows their diverse functions is their ability to bind other molecules specifically and tightly. With the
development of proteomics, exploring high-efficiency detection methods for large-scale proteins is increasingly important.
In recent years, rapid development of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based biosensors leads to the SERS realm of
applications from chemical analysis to nanostructure characterization and biomedical applications. For proteins, early studies
focused on investigating SERS spectra of individual proteins, and the successful design of nanoparticle probes has promoted
great progress of SERS-based immunoassays. In this review we outline the development of SERS-based methods for proteins with
particular focus on our proposed protein-mediated SERS-active substrates and their applications in label-free and Raman dye-labeled
protein detection.

We review recent experimental studies on single-walled carbon nanotubes on substrates using tip-enhanced near-field optical
microscopy (TENOM). High-resolution optical and topographic imaging with sub 15 nm spatial resolution is shown to provide
novel insights into the spectroscopic properties of these nanoscale materials. In the case of semiconducting nanotubes, the
simultaneous observation of Raman scattering and photoluminescence (PL) is possible, enabling a direct correlation between
vibrational and electronic properties on the nanoscale. So far, applications of TENOM have focused on the spectroscopy of
localized phonon modes, local band energy renormalizations induced by charge carrier doping, the environmental sensitivity
of nanotube PL, and inter-nanotube energy transfer. At the end of this review we discuss the remaining limitations and challenges
in this field.

Inorganic mass spectrometry techniques may offer great potential for the characterisation at the nanoscale, because they provide
unique elemental information of great value for a better understanding of processes occurring at nanometre-length dimensions.
Two main groups of techniques are reviewed: those allowing direct solid analysis with spatial resolution capabilities, i.e.
lateral (imaging) and/or in-depth profile, and those for the analysis of liquids containing colloids. In this context, the
present capabilities of widespread elemental mass spectrometry techniques such as laser ablation coupled with inductively
coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), glow discharge mass spectrometry and secondary ion/neutral mass spectrometry are
described and compared through selected examples from various scientific fields. On the other hand, approaches for the characterisation
(i.e. size, composition, presence of impurities, etc.) of colloidal solutions containing nanoparticles by the well-established
ICP-MS technique are described. In this latter case, the capabilities derived from the on-line coupling of separation techniques
such as field-flow fractionation and liquid chromatography with ICP-MS are also assessed. Finally, appealing trends using
ICP-MS for bioassays with biomolecules labelled with nanoparticles are delineated.

Early detection of apoptotic cells via caspase activity is demonstrated with fast response time. Fluorescence correlation
spectroscopy (FCS) is used to identify the presence of a cleaved fluorogenic probe based on the fluorescence of rhodamine
110 in Jurkat cells. FCS curves are shown to be markedly different for autofluorescent (non-apoptotic) cells, whereas cells
with cleaved probe showed diffusion and molecular brightness characteristic of rhodamine 110. Using FCS measurements, cells
were identified as apoptotic on the basis of the presence of autocorrelated fluorescence, average molecular brightness (η), and molecular dwell time (τ
D). Apoptotic cells identified in this manner were detected as early as 45 min after induction. Unlike other methods with similar
identification times, such as western blotting and electron microscopy, cells remain viable for further analysis. This multi-parameter
approach is rapid, flexible, and does not require transfection of the cells prior to analysis, enabling apoptosis to be identified
early in a wide variety of cell types.

tip when illuminated, has been shown to successfully probe the vibrational spectrum of today’s and tomorrow’s state-of-the-art
silicon and next-generation semiconductor devices, such as quantum dots. Collecting and analyzing the vibrational spectrum
not only aids in material identification but also provides insight into strain distributions in semiconductors. Here, the
potential of TERS for nanoscale characterization of strain in silicon devices is reviewed. Emphasis will be placed on the
key challenges of obtaining spectroscopic images of strain in actual strained silicon devices.

In the past 20 years the characterization of electroactive surfaces and electrode reactions by scanning probe techniques has
advanced significantly, benefiting from instrumental and methodological developments in the field. Electrochemical and electrical
analysis instruments are attractive tools for identifying regions of different electrochemical properties and chemical reactivity
and contribute to the advancement of molecular electronics. Besides their function as a surface analytical device, they have
proved to be unique tools for local synthesis of polymers, metal depots, clusters, etc. This review will focus primarily on
progress made by use of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), conductive AFM (C-AFM), electrochemical scanning tunneling
microscopy (EC-STM), and surface potential measurements, for example Kelvin probe force microscopy (KFM), for multidimensional
imaging of potential-dependent processes on metals and electrified surfaces modified with polymers and self assembled monolayers.

1H NMR spectroscopic and pattern recognition-based methods (NMR-PR) were applied to the metabolic profiling studies on hemodialysis
(HD). Plasma samples were collected from 37 patients before and after HD and measured by 600 MHz NMR spectroscopy. Each spectrum
was data-processed and subjected to principal component analysis for pattern recognition. Spectral patterns of plasma between
pre- and post-dialyses were clearly discriminated, together with significant fluctuations in the levels of creatinine, trimethylamine-N-oxide, glucose, lactate, and acetate, which were quantitated. We have first observed the significant elevation of lactate
levels in post-dialysis plasma. The present study has demonstrated the high feasibility of NMR-PR method for monitoring the
dialysis condition and comprehensive profiling of the change of low-molecular-weight metabolites in HD.

This article reviews recently published work concerning improved understanding of, and advancements in, organic and polymer
semiconductor vapor-phase chemical sensing. Thin-film transistor sensors ranging in size from hundreds of microns down to
a few nanometers are discussed, with comparisons made of sensing responses recorded at these different channel-length scales.
The vapor-sensing behavior of nanoscale organic transistors is different from that of large-scale devices, because electrical
transport in a nanoscale organic thin-film transistor depends on its morphological structure and interface properties (for
example injection barrier) which could be modulated by delivery of analyte. Materials used in nanoscale devices, for example
nanoparticles, nanotubes, and nanowires, are also briefly summarized in an attempt to introduce other relevant nano-transducers.
