Superhydrophobic Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Sensing using Janus Particle Arrays Realized by Site-Specific Electrochemical Growth.

ABSTRACT: Site-specific electrochemical deposition is used to prepare polystyrene (PS)-Ag Janus particle arrays with superhydrophobic properties. The analyte molecules can be significantly enriched using the superhydrophobic property of the PS-Ag Janus particle array before SERS detections, enabling an extremely sensitive detection of molecules in a highly diluted solution (e.g., femtomolar level). This superhydrophobic surface enhanced Raman scattering sensing concept described here is of critical significance in biosensing and bioanalysis. Most importantly, the site-specific electrochemical growth method we developed here is a versatile approach that can be used to prepare Janus particle arrays with different properties for various applications.

Fabrication of hexagonally patterned flower-like silver particle arrays as surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrates.

Project description:Hierarchical assembly of plasmonic nanostructures can induce high surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity. However, it is a challenge to uniformly disperse the hierarchical nanostructures onto a planar substrate to achieve SERS signal reproducibility. This report presents a facile route to fabricate a hexagonally patterned flower-like silver particle array as the SERS substrate. First, hexagonally ordered silver hemisphere arrays with smooth surface are molded in the pores of an anodic aluminum oxide template. Ag-nanosheets are then electrodeposited onto the surface of individual silver hemispheres. The numerous nano-edges and nano-gaps between adjacent nanosheets render a large number of hot spots, leading to high SERS activity over a larger area of chip. The silver flower-like array is employed as the SERS substrate, which is able to detect 0.1 nM rhodamine 6 G and 1 ?M 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB-77, a persistent organic pollutant).

Anomalous Light Scattering by Topological PT-symmetric Particle Arrays.

Project description:Robust topological edge modes may evolve into complex-frequency modes when a physical system becomes non-Hermitian. We show that, while having negligible forward optical extinction cross section, a conjugate pair of such complex topological edge modes in a non-Hermitian -symmetric system can give rise to an anomalous sideway scattering when they are simultaneously excited by a plane wave. We propose a realization of such scattering state in a linear array of subwavelength resonators coated with gain media. The prediction is based on an analytical two-band model and verified by rigorous numerical simulation using multiple-multipole scattering theory. The result suggests an extreme situation where leakage of classical information is unnoticeable to the transmitter and the receiver when such a -symmetric unit is inserted into the communication channel.

Stimulated Raman scattering flow cytometry for label-free single-particle analysis.

Project description:Flow cytometry is one of the most important technologies for high-throughput single-cell analysis. Fluorescent labeling acts as the primary approach for cellular analysis in flow cytometry. Nevertheless, the fluorescent tags are not applicable to all cases, especially to small molecules, for which labeling may significantly perturb the biological functionality. Spontaneous Raman scattering flow cytometry offers the capability to non-invasively detect chemical contents of cells but suffers from slow data acquisition. In order to achieve label-free high-throughput single-particle analysis using Raman scattering, we developed a 32-channel multiplex stimulated Raman scattering flow cytometry (SRS-FC) technique that can measure chemical contents of single particles at a speed of 5 μs per Raman spectrum. Using mixed polymer beads, we demonstrate the discrimination of different particles at a throughput of up to 11,000 particles per second. This is a four orders of magnitude improvement in throughput compared to conventional spontaneous Raman flow cytometry. As a proof of concept, we show the differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells at different states by SRS-FC according to the difference in cellular chemical content. The SRS-FC technique opens new opportunities for high-throughput and high-content chemical analysis of live cells in a label-free manner.

Enhanced Chemical Sensing with Multiorder Coherent Raman Scattering Spectroscopic Dephasing.

Project description:Molecular vibrational spectroscopy is widely used in various sensing and imaging applications, providing intrinsic information at the molecular level. Nonlinear optical interactions using ultrashort laser pulses facilitate the selective coherent excitation of molecular vibrational modes by focusing energy into specific molecular bonds, boosting the signal level for multiple orders of magnitude. The dephasing of such coherence, which is susceptible to the local molecular environment, however, is often neglected. The unique capability of vibrational dephasing dynamics to serve as a unique probe for complex molecular interactions and the effect of local nano- and microenvironments are beyond the reach of conventional, intensity-based spectroscopy. Here, we developed a novel multiorder coherent Raman spectroscopy platform with a special focus on the temporal evolution of molecular vibrational dephasing, termed as time-resolved coherent Raman scattering (T-CRS) spectroscopy. By utilizing a high dynamic range detection, molecular vibrational dynamics and the environmental effects are demonstrated with multidimensional spectroscopic sensing, which promises a new range of applications in biology, materials, and chemical sciences.

Tailoring plasmonic properties of gold nanohole arrays for surface-enhanced Raman scattering.

Project description:The wide plasmonic tuning range of nanotriangle and nanohole array patterns fabricated by nanosphere lithography makes them promising in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors. Unfortunately, it is challenging to optimize these patterns for SERS sensing because their optical response is a complex mixture of localized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and propagating surface plasmon polariton (SPP). In this paper, transmission and reflection measurements are combined with finite difference time domain simulations to identify and separate each plasmonic mode, discerning which resonance leads to the electromagnetic field enhancement. The SERS enhancement is found to be dominated by the absorption, which is shifted from the transmission and reflection dips usually used as tuning points, and by the 'gap' defects formed within the pattern. These effects have different spectral and geometric dependences, forming two optimization curves which can be used to predict the best performance for a given excitation wavelength. The developed model is verified with experimental SERS measurements for several nanohole sizes and periodicities, and then used to give optimal fabrication parameters for a range of measurement conditions. The results will promote the application of two-dimensional plasmonic nanoarrays in SERS sensors.

Gap-enhanced gold nanodumbbells with single-particle surface-enhanced Raman scattering sensitivity.

Project description:Gap-enhanced Raman tags (GERTs) have been widely used for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging due to their excellent SERS performances. Here, we reported a synthetic strategy for novel gap-enhanced dumbbell-like nanoparticles with anisotropic shell coatings. Controlled shell growth at the tips of gold nanorods was achieved by using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a capping agent. A mechanism related to the shape-directing effects of CTAB was proposed to explain the findings. Optimized gap-enhanced gold dumbbells exhibited highly enhanced SERS responses compared to rod cores, with an enhancement ratio of 101.5. We further demonstrated that gap-enhanced AuNDs exhibited single-particle SERS sensitivity with an acquisition time as fast as 0.1 s per spectrum, showing great potential for high-speed SERS imaging.

Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering in Graphene Quantum Dots Grown via Electrochemical Process.

Project description:Graphene Quantum dots (GQDs) are used as a surface-enhanced Raman substrate for detecting target molecules with large specific surface areas and more accessible edges to enhance the signal of target molecules. The electrochemical process is used to synthesize GQDs in the solution-based process from which the SERS signals were obtained from GQDs Raman spectra. In this work, GQDs were grown via the electrochemical process with citric acid and potassium chloride (KCl) electrolyte solution to obtain GQDs in a colloidal solution-based format. Then, GQDs were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Raman spectroscopy, respectively. From the results, SERS signals had observed via GQDs spectra through the Raman spectra at D (1326 cm-1) and G (1584 cm-1), in which D intensity is defined as the presence of defects on GQDs and G is the sp2 orbital of carbon signal. The increasing concentration of KCl in the electrolyte solution for 0.15M to 0.60M demonstrated the increment of Raman intensity at the D peak of GQDs up to 100 over the D peak of graphite. This result reveals the potential feasibility of GQDs as SERS applications compared to graphite signals.

Controlled synthesis of Cu nanoparticle arrays with surface enhanced Raman scattering effect performance.

Project description:Herein, we report the synthesis of a 350 nm Cu nanoparticle array with different period combinations by a method based on a monolayer and have further investigated its surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) properties experimentally. The SERS properties of the 350 nm Cu nanoparticle array were investigated, and the influence of the thickness of the Cu nanoshell was studied. The results demonstrated that the 18 min ion-sputtering deposition can improve the SERS activity in addition to good stability. This study can provide an optimized method for some inexpensive nanomaterials as highly active SERS substrates and a good solution to the interference caused by substrate impurity.

Sheath-flow microfluidic approach for combined surface enhanced Raman scattering and electrochemical detection.

Project description:The combination of hydrodynamic focusing with embedded capillaries in a microfluidic device is shown to enable both surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and electrochemical characterization of analytes at nanomolar concentrations in flow. The approach utilizes a versatile polystyrene device that contains an encapsulated microelectrode and fluidic tubing, which is shown to enable straightforward hydrodynamic focusing onto the electrode surface to improve detection. A polydimethyslsiloxane (PDMS) microchannel positioned over both the embedded tubing and SERS active electrode (aligned ?200 ?m from each other) generates a sheath flow that confines the analyte molecules eluting from the embedded tubing over the SERS electrode, increasing the interaction between the Riboflavin (vitamin B2) and the SERS active electrode. The microfluidic device was characterized using finite element simulations, amperometry, and Raman experiments. This device shows a SERS and amperometric detection limit near 1 and 100 nM, respectively. This combination of SERS and amperometry in a single device provides an improved method to identify and quantify electroactive analytes over either technique independently.

Global Temperature Sensing for an Operating Power Transformer Based on Raman Scattering.

Project description:Traditional monitoring methods cannot obtain the overall thermal information for power transformers. To solve this problem, a distributed fiber optic sensor (DFOS) was creatively applied inside an operating 35 kV power transformer by highly integrating with the electromagnetic wires. Then, the transformer prototype with totally global sensing capability was successfully developed and it was qualified for power grid application through the strict ex-factory tests. The as designed optical fiber sensor works stably all the time with a temperature accuracy of ±0.2 °C and spatial positioning accuracy of 0.8 m. Based on the obtained internal temperature distribution, Gaussian convolution was further applied for the signal processing and hereby, the hotspots for all the windings and iron cores could be accurately traced. The hottest points were located at 89.1% (55 °C) of the high voltage winding height and 89.7% (77.5 °C) of the low voltage winding height. The actual precise hotspot location corrected the traditional cognition on the transformer windings and it would serve as an essential reference for the manufactures. This new nondestructive internal sensing and condition monitoring method also exhibits a promising future for the DFOS applying in the high-voltage electrical apparatus industry.
