We investigate the light scattering through small particles and its applications in nanostructuring, such as nanobumping, nanopatterning and dry laser cleaning. The theoretical calculation based on Mie theory provides an exact solution for sphere cavity resonance and plasmon resonance, which are two mechanisms for dielectric and metallic particles assisted surface nanostructuring in near field. The experimental results indicate that nanobumps on glass surface and subwavelength holes array on silicon surface can be formed without cracks with the self-assembly of 1 μm silica particle mask under laser irradiation. It is also found that the scattering wave by 40 nm gold particles can propagate 200 times away in terms of particle radius as recorded by photoresist under the UV light irradiation. Meanwhile, dry laser cleaning of 40nm gold particle on silicon wafer is demonstrated at plasmonic resonance frequency. The total cleaning efficiency is estimated to be 80%. 相似文献
The authors describe a colorimetric method for the determination of Hg(II) ion. It is based on the color change from red to colorless as displayed by gold nanoparticle (AuNP) modified with thymine - rich DNA. Signal amplification is accomplished by free strand displacement recycling. In this strategy, Hg(II) unfolds the arch-trigger duplex due to the high affinity between Hg(II) and the thymines to form T-Hg(II)-T structures, thereby causing the release of trigger. The liberated trigger unfolds the hairpin structure of H1, and unfolded H1 further unfolds with H2. As a result, the H2 hairpin displaces trigger, and the released trigger unfolds another H1. This results in strong and enzyme-free strand displacement recycling amplification. The aggregation of DNA-AuNPs occurs in the presence of the duplex formed by hairpins H2 and H1. This results in a color change from red to colorless that can be visually observed. Under optimal conditions, the assay has a detection range over 4 orders of magnitude and a 3.4 nM detection limit. The assay is selective, sensitive, rapid and cost-effective. In our perception, it represents a useful platform for determination of Hg(II).
Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of the simple, rapid, low cost colorimetric detection of mercury(II) based on enzyme-free strand displacement amplification along with DNA-labeled AuNP.
A new dual chemosensor (TTF-PBA) for Fe3+ and Cu2+ in different signal pathways was designed and synthesized. The absorption spectrum, fluorescence spectrum and cyclic voltammograms changed in the presence of Cu2+ and Fe3+. The optical color changed within 5 s from yellow to orange upon the addition of Cu2+, and it changed to dark yellow when Fe3+ existed. The cyclic voltammogram of Cu2+/TTF-PBA changed from Eox = 0.50 V, Ered = 0.32 V to Eox = 0.64 V, Ered = 0.80 V (vs Ag/AgCl) upon the addition of 2.0 equiv. Cu2+. As for Fe3+/TTF-PBA, its oxidation wave disappeared, and its reduction wave appeared at Ered = ?0.59 V (vs Ag/AgCl) upon the addition of 4.0 equv. Fe3+. The sensor displayed high selectivity for Cu2+ and Fe3+ over other ions including Pb2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Ag+, Cr3+, Mn2+, Al3+, Co2+, Pd2+, Hg2+, Fe2+, Cd2+, Ce3+, Bi3+ and Au3+, the detection limits for Cu2+ and Fe3+ ion reached as low as 5.33 × 10?7 mol/L and 5.34 × 10?7 mol/L, respectively. Furthermore, when Fe3+ existed, Cu2+ can be detected sequentially by the sensor through the absorption spectrum and the color change observed by naked-eyes. 相似文献
