Nonlinear optical studies of lead lanthanum borate glass doped with Au nanoparticles

Synthesis, characterization and optical nonlinearity of lead lanthanum borate glass embedded with gold nanoparticles have been investigated. DSC thermogram shows characteristics glass transition temperature at T_g = 775 K. Glasses doped with Au were subjected to heat treatment at 823 K with different annealing time and then, slowly cooled to room temperature show striking ruby color. SAED and TEM analyses have confirmed that f.c.c. Au nanoparticles of ~ 40 nm size are present in these glasses. An absorption peak centered on 563 nm has been observed in heat treated samples, which is attributed to surface plasmon resonance of gold nanoparticles.

A novel sonochemical synthesis and nanostructured assembly of polyvinylpyrrolidone-capped CdS colloidal nanoparticles

Nanoparticles of cadmium sulfide (nano-CdS) have been successfully prepared from an aqueous solution of cadmium chloride and sodium sulfide by a novel sonochemical method. Through adding polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 (PVP) as the dispersant, a yellow translucent colloidal solution of cadmium sulfide which was considerably stable within at least one month was obtained. The characterizations of nanoparticles by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and FT-IR spectroscopy showed good properties of small size, high surface area and crystal structure. The size of the prepared nanoparticles was about 3–5 nm according to XRD spectra and TEM images. Poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) has been employed to fabricate multilayer films on quartz wafer and indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode in a layer-by-layer manner. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) displayed the dense coverage of the substrate surface by the nanoparticles. UV–vis absorption spectroscopy confirmed the consecutive growth of PDDA/nanoparticles layer pairs. The photoelectrochemical and the electrochemical behaviors of the prepared CdS particle were examined as well.     

Structural and optical response of 2‐Mercaptoethonal capped CdS nanocrystals to Fe3+ ions

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) doped with Fe³⁺ have been synthesized via a solution‐based method utilizing dopant concentrations of (0–5%) and employing 2‐mercaptoehonal as a capping agent. X‐ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that the undoped CdS NCs are in mixed phase of cubic and hexagonal, where as the doped CdS NCs are in hexagonal phase. The crystallite size was increased from ∼1.2 nm to ∼2 nm. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy studies (DRS) reveals that the band gap energy was decreased with Fe doping and it lies in the range of 2.58 ‐ 2.88 eV. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of undoped CdS NCs show a strong green emission peak centered at 530 nm and a weak red emission shoulder positioned at 580 nm. After doping all the luminescence intensity was highly quenched and the green emission peak was shifted to orange region (580 nm), but the position of weak red emission shoulder was unaltered with doping. FTIR studies revealed that the NCs were sterically stabilized by 2‐mercaptoethanol. (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Metal-graphene nanostructures for SEIRA spectroscopy

Abstract

Infrared spectroscopy is widely used technique for observing bioorganic materials, but sometimes scientist have to work with small amount of investigated materials and infrared light interacts poorly with nanometric size molecules. Taking into account unique electro-optical properties of graphene and metal we demonstrated possibility to use metal-graphene nanostructures for label-free detection of thymine. It was shown that IR spectra of thymine adsorbed on the composite nanostructures, such as Au “nanostars” with graphene, is more enhanced than whenthese nanoparticles are used without graphene. The enhancement in IR absorption for complex thymine/Au/graphene depends on size of Au nanoparticlesand thymine’s molecular group.

Growth and characterization of nanostructured CdS/Polyaniline/CuInSe2 thin films for solar cell applications

In the present paper, we report about synthesis of nanostructured organic–inorganic heterojunction of CdS/Polyaniline/CuInSe₂ thin films by cost effective chemical route at room temperature, for solar cell application. As such obtained thin films are characterized for structural, compositional, morphological, optical and electrical properties by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical absorbance spectra and I–V response respectively. The XRD reveals the polycrystalline nature of the thin films having tetragonal crystal structure and a crystallite size of 19 nm. The presence of observed and expected elements in the EDAX spectra confirms the elemental compositions in CdS/Polyaniline/CuInSe₂ thin films. From SEM images it can be inferred that the surface morphology of the Polyaniline thin films exists like clothing fibers, while CdS/CuInSe₂ shows granular shape particles distributed over the substrate and the SEM of CdS/Polyaniline/CuInSe₂ represents mixing and attachment of circular particles to fiber like structure. The optical absorbance spectra have shown red shift in absorbance strength and energy band gap value of CdS/CuInSe₂ from ~ 1.36 eV to ~ 1.62 eV upon formation of CdS/Polyaniline/CuInSe₂ thin film. The I–V response of CdS/CuInSe₂ and CdS/Polyaniline/CuInSe₂ measured under dark and illumination to 100 mW/cm² light, exhibited the solar characteristics from these graphs and the conversion efficiency calculated is observed to be 0.26 and 0.55% for CdS/CuInSe₂ and CdS/Polyaniline/CuInSe₂ thin films respectively.     

Production and Study of Silver Nanoparticles by 532 nm Laser Pulse Ablation in NaCl Solution

In this experimental research, silver nanoparticles are produced in NaCl solution by the laser ablation method. Our aim was to investigate the effect of the amount of NaCl in the ablation medium on the characteristics of nanoparticles. A 7 ns pulsed Neodymium YAG laser (Nd:YAG) at 5 J/cm2 fluence and 532 nm wavelength was employed to produce Ag nanoparticles in distilled water with four different concentrations of NaCl. The optical properties, size distribution, and agglomeration of nanoparticles were investigated by several diagnostics. The UV–Visible absorption spectra of the Ag nanoparticles exhibit absorptions in the UV region because of surface plasmon resonance. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to study the size distribution and morphology of nanoparticles. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was employed to measure the hydrodynamic size of nanoparticles in suspensions. With X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, the lattice structure of nanoparticles was studied. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), photoluminescence (PL) spectra were obtained to observe the molecular structure and atomic energy levels of particles.
