Anisotropic dual-plasmonic hetero-nanostructures with tunable plasmonic coupling effects.

ABSTRACT: The influence of plasmonic coupling effects between different components in Au NRs@Cu_2-x Se nanostructures on their characteristics was studied. To this aim, anisotropic Au@Cu_2-x Se hetero-nanostructures with well-controlled design and optical properties were obtained. The LSPR bands of gold and copper selenide are superpositioned in the NIR region, resulting in superior photocatalytic properties of the nanostructures.

Facile aqueous synthesis of hollow dual plasmonic hetero-nanostructures with tunable optical responses through nanoscale Kirkendall effects.

Project description:Herein, we report the colloidal synthesis of hollow dual-plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) using Au@Cu2O core-shell NPs as templates and exploiting the nanoscale Kirkendall effect. In our synthesis, we used organic compounds as a source of chalcogenide ions for an anion exchange reaction at elevated temperatures using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a capping reagent to transform the solid Cu2O shell into a hollow copper chalcogenide shell. The resulting structures possess different features depending on the chalcogenide precursor employed. TEM images confirm the complete transformation of Au@Cu2O templates when 1,1-dimethyl-2-selenourea was added and the formation of hollow Au@Cu2-x Se nanostructures. In contrast, residues of Cu2O attached to the Au core were present when thioacetamide was used for the synthesis of Au@Cu2-x S with all other conditions kept the same. The divergence of architectures caused distinct optical properties of Au@Cu2-x S and Au@Cu2-x Se NPs. This synthetic approach is an effective pathway for maneuvering the size of interior voids by varying the concentration of chalcogenide ions in the reaction mixture. The insights gained from this work will enrich the synthetic toolbox at the nanoscale and guide us on the rational design of multicomponent plasmonic nanoparticles with precisely controlled hollow interiors and sophisticated geometries, further enhancing our capabilities to fine-tune the electronic, optical, compositional, and physicochemical properties.

Broadband Transient Response and Wavelength-Tunable Photoacoustics in Plasmonic Hetero-nanoparticles.

Project description:The optically driven acoustic modes and nonlinear response of plasmonic nanoparticles are important in many applications, but are strongly resonant, which restricts their excitation to predefined wavelengths. Here, we demonstrate that multilayered spherical plasmonic hetero-nanoparticles, formed by alternating layers of gold and silica, provide a platform for a broadband nonlinear optical response from visible to near-infrared wavelengths. They also act as a tunable optomechanical system with mechanically decoupled layers in which different acoustic modes can be selectively switched on/off by tuning the excitation wavelength. These observations not only expand the knowledge about the internal structure of composite plasmonic nanoparticles but also allow for an additional degree of freedom for controlling their nonlinear optical and mechanical properties.

Rational Assembly of Optoplasmonic Hetero-nanoparticle Arrays with Tunable Photonic-Plasmonic Resonances.

Project description:Metallic and dielectric nanoparticles (NPs) have synergistic electromagnetic properties but their positioning into morphologically defined hybrid arrays with novel optical properties still poses significant challenges. A template-guided self-assembly strategy is introduced for the positioning of metallic and dielectric NPs at pre-defined lattice sites. The chemical assembly approach facilitates the fabrication of clusters of metallic NPs with interparticle separations of only a few nanometers in a landscape of dielectric NPs positioned hundreds of nanometers apart. This approach is used to generate two-dimensional interdigitated arrays of 250 nm diameter TiO2 NPs and clusters of electromagnetically strongly coupled 60 nm Au NPs. The morphologydependent near- and far-field responses of the resulting multiscale optoplasmonic arrays are analyzed in detail. Elastic and inelastic scattering spectroscopy in combination with electromagnetic simulations reveal that optoplasmonic arrays sustain delocalized photonic-plasmonic modes that achieve a cascaded E-field enhancement in the gap junctions of the Au NP clusters and simultaneously increase the E-field intensity throughout the entire array.

Fabrication and characterization of flexible and tunable plasmonic nanostructures.

Project description:We present a novel method to fabricate flexible and tunable plasmonic nanostructures based on combination of soft lithography and nanosphere lithography, and perform a comprehensive structural and optical characterization of these structures. Spherical latex particles are uniformly deposited on glass slides and used as molds for polydimethylsiloxane to obtain nanovoid structures. The diameter and depth of the nanostructures are controlled by the size of the latex particles. These surfaces are coated with a thin Ag layer for fabrication of uniform plasmonic nanostructures. Structural characterization of these surfaces is performed by SEM and AFM. Optical properties of these plasmonic nanostructures are evaluated via UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, dark field microscopy, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Position of the surface plasmon absorption depends on the diameter and depth of the nanostructures. SERS enhancement factor (measured up to 1.4 × 10⁶) is dependent on the plasmon absorption wavelength and laser wavelength used in these experiments.

Controllable Plasmonic Nanostructures induced by Dual-wavelength Femtosecond Laser Irradiation.

Project description:We demonstrated an abnormal double-peak (annular shaped) energy deposition through dual-wavelength synthesis of the fundamental frequency (ω) and the second-harmonic frequency (2ω) of a femtosecond (fs) Ti:sapphire laser. The annular shaped distribution of the dual-wavelength fs laser was confirmed through real beam shape detection. This uniquely simple and flexible technique enables the formation of functional plasmonic nanostructures. We applied this double-peak fs-laser-induced dewetting effect to the controlled fabrication and precise deposition of Au nanostructures, by using a simple, lithography-free, and single-step process. In this process, the double-peak energy-shaped fs laser pulse induces surface patterning of a thin film followed by nanoscale hydrodynamic instability, which is highly controllable under specific irradiation conditions. Nanostructure morphology (shape, size, and distribution) modulation can be achieved by adjusting the laser irradiation parameters, and the subsequent ion-beam polishing enables further dimensional reduction and removal of the surrounding film. The unique optical properties of the resulting nanostructure are highly sensitive to the shape and size of the nanostructure. In contrast to a nanoparticle, the resonance-scattering spectrum of an Au nanobump exhibites two resonance peaks. These suggest that the dual-wavelength fs laser-based dewetting of thin films can be an effective means for the scalable manufacturing of patterned-functional nanostructures.

Polarization- and Angular-Resolved Optical Response of Molecules on Anisotropic Plasmonic Nanostructures.

Project description:A sometimes overlooked degree of freedom in the design of many spectroscopic (mainly Raman) experiments involve the choice of experimental geometry and polarization arrangement used. Although these aspects usually play a rather minor role, their neglect may result in a misinterpretation of the experimental results. It is well known that polarization- and/or angular- resolved spectroscopic experiments allow one to classify the symmetry of the vibrations involved or the molecular orientation with respect to a smooth surface. However, very low detection limits in surface-enhancing spectroscopic techniques are often accompanied by a complete or partial loss of this detailed information. In this review, we will try to elucidate the extent to which this approach can be generalized for molecules adsorbed on plasmonic nanostructures. We will provide a detailed summary of the state-of-the-art experimental findings for a range of plasmonic platforms used in the last ~ 15 years. Possible implications on the design of plasmon-based molecular sensors for maximum signal enhancement will also be discussed.

Hybrid anisotropic nanostructures for dual-modal cancer imaging and image-guided chemo-thermo therapies.

Project description:The multimodality theranostic system, which can integrate two or more different therapeutic modalities and multimodal imaging agents into a nanoentity, shows great promising prospects for the cancer treatment. Herein, we developed an efficient and novel strategy to synthesize hybrid anisotropic nanoparticles (HANs) with intrinsic multimodal theranostic capability [chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and photoacoustic imaging (PAI)]. For the first time, under the guidance of MRI and PAI, the chemotherapy and thermotherapy induced by administration of multifunctional hybrid nanoprobes were applied simultaneously to the treatment of colon cancer-bearing mice in vivo.

Disentangling charge carrier from photothermal effects in plasmonic metal nanostructures.

Project description:Plasmon-mediated chemical reactions (PMCRs) constitute a vibrant research field, advancing such goals as using sunlight to convert abundant precursors such as CO2 and water to useful fuels and chemicals. A key question in this burgeoning field which has not, as yet, been fully resolved, relates to the precise mechanism through which the energy absorbed through plasmonic excitation, ultimately drives such reactions. Among the multiple processes proposed, two have risen to the forefront: plasmon-increased temperature and generation of energetic charge carriers. However, it is still a great challenge to confidently separate these two effects and quantify their relative contribution to chemical reactions. Here, we describe a strategy based on the construction of a plasmonic electrode coupled with photoelectrochemistry, to quantitatively disentangle increased temperature from energetic charge carriers effects. A clear separation of the two effects facilitates the rational design of plasmonic nanostructures for efficient photochemical applications and solar energy utilization.

Arbitrary multicolor photodetection by hetero-integrated semiconductor nanostructures.

Project description:The typical photodetectors can only detect one specific optical spectral band, such as InGaAs and graphene-PbS quantum dots for near-infrared (NIR) light detection, CdS and Si for visible light detection, and ZnO and III-nitrides for UV light detection. So far, none of the developed photodetector can achieve the multicolor detection with arbitrary spectral selectivity, high sensitivity, high speed, high signal-to-noise ratio, high stability, and simplicity (called 6S requirements). Here, we propose a universal strategy to develop multicolor photodetectors with arbitrary spectral selectivity by integrating various semiconductor nanostructures on a wide-bandgap semiconductor or an insulator substrate. Because the photoresponse of each spectral band is determined by each semiconductor nanostructure or the semiconductor substrate, multicolor detection satisfying 6S requirements can be readily satisfied by selecting the right semiconductors.

Enhanced Sensitivity of Delocalized Plasmonic Nanostructures.

Project description:This work reports on the observation of a delocalized surface plasmon resonance (DSPR) phenomenon in linear chains of square-shaped silver nanoparticles (NP) as a function of the chain length and the distance between the nanoparticles in the chain. Transmission spectra of the silver nanoparticle chains reveal the emergence of new, red-shifted extinction peaks that depend strongly on the spacing between the nanoparticles and the polarization of the exciting light with respect to the chain axis. As the spacing between the nanoparticles in the linear chain decreases and the number of nanoparticles in the linear chain increases, the strength of the new extinction features increase strongly. These changes can be described by a tight-binding model for the coupled chain, which indicates that the origin of the phenomenon is consistent with an increased coupling between the nanoparticles. FDTD calculations reveal that the electric field is strongly enhanced between the nanoparticles in the chain. The DSPR response is found to be much more sensitive to dielectric changes than the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR).
