Induced pH-dependent shift by local surface plasmon resonance in functionalized gold nanorods.

ABSTRACT: Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy of metallic nanoparticles is a powerful tool for chemical and biological sensing experiments. In this study, we observed LSPR shifts of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid modified gold nanorods (GNR-MUA) for the pH range of 6.41 to 8.88. We proposed a mechanism involving changes of the dipole moment after protonation/deprotonation carboxylic groups of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) which plays an important role by modulating LSPR around the functionalized GNR. Such a stable and easily prepared GNR-MUA has potential to become one of the most efficient and promising pH nanosensors to study intra- or extra-cellular pH in a wide range of chemical or biological systems.

Fabrication of silica-coated gold nanorods functionalized with DNA for enhanced surface plasmon resonance imaging biosensing applications.

Project description:A novel method for preparing gold nanorods that are first coated with a thin silica film and then functionalized with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) is presented. Coating the nanorods with 3-5 nm of silica improves their solubility and stability. Amine-modified ssDNA is attached to the silica-coated gold nanorods via a reductive amination reaction with an aldehyde trimethoxysilane monolayer. The nanorods exhibit an intense absorption band at 780 nm, and are used to enhance the sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) measurements on DNA microarrays.

Aspect-ratio- and size-dependent emergence of the surface-plasmon resonance in gold nanorods--an ab initio TDDFT study.

Project description:It is known that the surface-plasmon resonance (SPR) in small spherical Au nanoparticles of about 2 nm is strongly damped. We demonstrate that small Au nanorods with a high aspect ratio develop a strong longitudinal SPR, with intensity comparable to that in Ag rods, as soon as the resonance energy drops below the onset of the interband transitions due to the geometry. We present ab initio calculations of time-dependent density-functional theory of rods with lengths of up to 7 nm. By changing the length and width, not only the energy but also the character of the resonance in Au rods can be tuned. Moreover, the aspect ratio alone is not sufficient to predict the character of the spectrum; the absolute size matters.

Localized surface plasmon resonance-based abscisic acid biosensor using aptamer-functionalized gold nanoparticles.

Project description:Abscisic acid (ABA) plays an important role in abiotic stress response and physiological signal transduction resisting to the adverse environment. Therefore, it is very essential for the quantitative detection of abscisic acid (ABA) due to its indispensable role in plant physiological activities. Herein, a new detection method based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) using aptamer-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is developed without using expensive instrument and antibody. In the presence of ABA, ABA specifically bind with their aptamers to form the ABA-aptamer complexes with G-quadruplex-like structure and lose the ability to stabilize AuNPs against NaCl-induced aggregation. Meanwhile, the changes of the LSPR spectra of AuNP solution occur and therefore the detection of ABA achieved. Under optimized conditions, this method showed a good linear range covering from 5×10-7 M to 5×10-5 M with a detection limit of 0.33 ?M. In practice, the usage of this novel method has been demonstrated by its application to detect ABA from fresh leaves of rice with the relative error of 6.59%-7.93% compared with ELISA bioassay. The experimental results confirmed that this LSPR-based biosensor is simple, selective and sensitive for the detection of ABA. The proposed LSPR method could offer a new analytical platform for the detection of other plant hormones by changing the corresponding aptamer.

Sensitive pH Monitoring Using a Polyaniline-Functionalized Fiber Optic-Surface Plasmon Resonance Detector.

Project description:In this work, we report results on the fabrication and characterization of a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) pH sensor using platinum (Pt) and polyaniline (PANI) layers successively coated over an unclad core of an optical fiber (FO). The plasmonic thin Pt layer was deposited using a magnetron sputtering technique, while the pH-sensitive PANI layer was synthesized using an electroless polymerization method. Moreover, the formation of PANI film was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) technique and its surface morphology was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the PANI/Pt-coated FO-SPR pH sensor exhibits a fast and linear response in either acid or alkali solutions (pH operational range: 1 to 14). The proposed FO-SPR sensor could be used for biomedical applications, environmental monitoring or any remote, real-time on-site measurements.

Gold nanoparticles with externally controlled, reversible shifts of local surface plasmon resonance bands.

Project description:We have achieved reversible tunability of local surface plasmon resonance in conjugated polymer functionalized gold nanoparticles. This property was facilitated by the preparation of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) containing polynorbornene brushes on gold nanoparticles via surface-initiated ring-opening metathesis polymerization. Reversible tuning of the surface plasmon band was achieved by electrochemically switching the EDOT polymer between its reduced and oxidized states.

Wavelength-Dependent Plasmon-Mediated Coalescence of Two Gold Nanorods.

Project description:Plasmon-mediated coalescence of two nearby gold nanorods (NRs) suspended in water induced by the illumination of a linearly polarized (LP) light was studied theoretically. We analyzed the coupled optical forces and torques in terms of Maxwell's stress tensor upon two identical NRs irradiated by a LP plane wave using the multiple multipole method to estimate the optomechanical outcome. Numerical results show that the light-matter interaction can perform attraction or repulsion, depending on their initial configurations. For the attraction, the end-to-end or side-by-side coalescence of the two gold NRs could be caused by the LP light, depending on the wavelength. For example, the side-by-side coalescence of two adjacent NRs of r = 15 nm and L = 120 nm is most likely induced by 800-nm LP laser beam, whereas the end-to-end coalescence by 1064-nm or 1700-nm LP laser. These distinct phenomena are attributed to the perpendicular or parallel alignment of NR to the polarization of LP light in different wavelength ranges. The magnitude of optical force, proportional to the light's fluence, could be stronger than van der Waals force. The estimation based on quasi-static model without considering the fluid dynamics may provide an insight to optical manipulation on the self-assembly of gold colloid.

Surface plasmon resonance extension through two-block metal-conducting polymer nanorods.

Project description:Research on surface plasmon resonance coupling of metallic nanostructures is an important area in the field of plasmonics because distinctive collective optical properties can be realized that are different from the individual constituents. Here we report the localized surface plasmon resonance of hybrid metal-organic nanorods. Colloidal-dispersed Au-PPy nanorods were synthesized as a representative material using a modified electrochemical method, and the collective oscillation properties were systematically investigated by comparing these materials with pure Au nanorods. We observed the extended surface plasmon resonance of a hybrid system. The presence of doped-PPy segments on Au segments induced an enhanced coherent electric field due to the partial contribution of ?-electrons on the PPy segment, which led to a red-shifted plasmon feature. Additionally, we demonstrated that surface plasmon resonance extension can be tuned by dopant anions, which demonstrates a way of tuning a dopant-induced plasmonic system.

Multipole plasmon resonances in gold nanorods.

Project description:The optical properties of gold rods electrochemically deposited in anodic aluminum oxide templates have been investigated. Homogeneous suspensions of rods with an average diameter of 85 nm and varying lengths of 96, 186, 321, 465, 495, 578, 641, 735, and 1175 nm were fabricated. The purity and dimensions of these rod nanostructures allowed us to observe higher-order multipole resonances for the first time in a colloidal suspension. The experimental optical spectra agree with discrete dipole approximation calculations that have been modeled from the dimensions of the gold nanorods.

Atomically precise gold nanocrystal molecules with surface plasmon resonance.

Project description:Since Faraday's pioneering work on gold colloids, tremendous scientific research on plasmonic gold nanoparticles has been carried out, but no atomically precise Au nanocrystals have been achieved. This work reports the first example of gold nanocrystal molecules. Mass spectrometry analysis has determined its formula to be Au(333)(SR)(79) (R = CH(2)CH(2)Ph). This magic sized nanocrystal molecule exhibits fcc-crystallinity and surface plasmon resonance at approximately 520 nm, hence, a metallic nanomolecule. Simulations have revealed that atomic shell closing largely contributes to the particular robustness of Au(333)(SR)(79), albeit the number of free electrons (i.e., 333 - 79 = 254) is also consistent with electron shell closing based on calculations using a confined free electron model. Guided by the atomic shell closing growth mode, we have also found the next larger size of extraordinarily stability to be Au(~530)(SR)(~100) after a size-focusing selection--which selects the robust size available in the starting polydisperse nanoparticles. This work clearly demonstrates that atomically precise nanocrystal molecules are achievable and that the factor of atomic shell closing contributes to their extraordinary stability compared to other sizes. Overall, this work opens up new opportunities for investigating many fundamental issues of nanocrystals, such as the formation of metallic state, and will have potential impact on condensed matter physics, nanochemistry, and catalysis as well.

Surface Plasmon Resonance-Based Immunosensor for Igm Detection with Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:In this work, a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based immunosensor was prepared by the immobilization of the amine-functionalized gold nanoparticles (N-AuNPs) on the sensing surface to sense immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in the aqueous solution and artificial plasma. The characterization studies of SPR based immunosensor for IgM detection were performed with scanning electron microscope (SEM), contact angle measurements, and ellipsometry. Kinetic studies for the IgM immunosensor were carried out in the range of 1.0 to 200 ng/mL IgM concentrations in an aqueous solution. The total IgM analysis time including adsorption, desorption, and regeneration cycles was nearly 10 min for the prepared immunosensor. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were found as 0.08 and 0.26 ng/mL, respectively. The reusability of the proposed immunosensor was tested with 6 consecutive adsorption-desorption, and regeneration cycles. Also, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was utilized in the validation of the immunosensor.
