Resonance Coupling in Heterostructures Composed of Silicon Nanosphere and Monolayer WS <sub/>2</sub> : A Magnetic-Dipole-Mediated Energy Transfer Process
摘要： Light?matter resonance coupling is a long-studied topic for both fundamental research and photonic and optoelectronic applications. Here we investigated the resonance coupling between the magnetic dipole mode of a dielectric nanosphere and 2D excitons in a monolayer semiconductor. By coating an individual silicon nanosphere with a monolayer of WS2, we theoretically demonstrated that, because of the strong energy transfer between the magnetic dipole mode of the nanosphere and the A-exciton in WS2, resonance coupling evidenced by anticrossing behavior in the scattering energy diagram was observed, with a mode splitting of 43 meV. In contrast to plexcitons, which involve plasmonic nanocavities, the resonance coupling in this all-dielectric heterostructure was insensitive to the spacing between the silicon nanosphere core and the WS2 shell. Additionally, the two split modes exhibited distinct light-scattering directionality. We further experimentally demonstrated the resonance coupling effect by depositing silicon nanospheres with different diameters onto a WS2 monolayer and collecting the scattering spectra of the resulting heterostructures under ambient conditions. We further demonstrated active control of the resonance coupling by temperature scanning. Our findings highlighted the potential of our all-dielectric heterostructure as a solid platform for studying strong light?matter interactions at the nanoscale.

Target-recycling-amplified colorimetric detection of pollen allergen using non-cross-linking aggregation of DNA-modified gold nanoparticles
摘要： Increasing prevalence of pollen allergies has raised concerns about human health. Development of a facile and precise method to detect pollen allergens would thus be of significance for environmental assessments and medical diagnoses. Here we report a sensitive colorimetric method to detect the Japanese cedar pollen allergen, Cry j 2. The method consists of two steps: a signal amplification based on the catalytic DNA hairpin self-assembly, followed by a signal transduction using the salt-induced non-cross-linking aggregation of gold nanoparticles densely modified with short DNA. The assay exhibits a detection limit of 0.2 ng/mL, which is 130-fold greater than that of the previously reported one. Moreover, the assay enables the detection of Cry j 2 spiked in soil solutions by avoiding any interference from the contaminants. The signal amplification system includes an anti-Cry j 2 DNA aptamer, which accounts for the absence of false responses to five non-target allergen proteins. The present method could be of general applicability to various proteins by using appropriate aptamers.

Variable-range-hopping conduction and polaron dielectric relaxation in Cu and Nb co-doped BaTiO3
摘要： BaTi0.7(Cu0.1Nb0.2)O3 ceramic was prepared using a solid-state method and its structure, valence states, conduction mechanism and dielectric properties were investigated in detail. A fine-grained microstructure and a distorted pseudo-cubic perovskite structure were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and Raman spectroscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis suggested that Cu in BaTi0.7(Cu0.1Nb0.2)O3 was polyvalent but the valence states of Ti and Nb were invariable. Mott’s variable-range-hopping (VRH) conduction was observed. The two colossal dielectric constant plateaus in low- and high-temperature ranges were ascribed to the electrode and grain boundary responses, respectively. The VRH model described the low-temperature relaxation well, indicating that the dielectric relaxation was a polaron relaxation rather than Maxwell–Wagner type. Both grain and grain boundary resistances were well fitted by the VRH model, suggesting that the VRH mechanism was tenable in both grain and grain boundaries. The electron paramagnetic resonance signal was ascribed to Cu ions, and the linewidth showed a linear relationship with T?1/4, corresponding to the charge transfer between different valence via Cu+-O-Cu2+ and Cu2+-O-Cu3+ paths. The hopping of carriers was also responsible for the conduction and polaron dielectric relaxations.

Real-time profiling Anti-EpCAM Based Immune capture, from Molecules to Cells using MP-SPR
摘要： Antibodies of epithelial cell-adhesion-molecule (anti-EpCAM)-based interfaces have proven to be highly efficient at capturing circulating tumor cells (CTCs). To achieve the bonding of anti-EpCAM to the interface, biotin and streptavidin are used to modify the surface. These processes are critical to subsequent cell-capture efficiencies. However, quantitative research on the interactions between biotin, streptavidin and biotinylated anti-EpCAM on the interface is lacking. In this work, the thermodynamics and kinetics of biomolecular interactions were determined by using surface plasmon resonance. The equilibrium binding affinities for biotinylated anti-EpCAM to streptavidin and streptavidin to biotin (illustrated by biotin-PEG400-thiol) were found to be 2.75×10^6 M^-1 and 8.82×10^6 M^-1, respectively. Each streptavidin can bind up to 2.30 biotinylated anti-EpCAM under thermodynamic equilibrium. The findings provide useful information to optimize the modification of anti-EpCAM and improve the capture efficiency of CTCs.

Enhancement of local electromagnetic fields by periodic optical resonators
摘要： The periodically profiled metasurfaces of silicon and of the same surfaces coated with a thin layer of silver are experimentally investigated to improve the signal-to-noise ratio in the observation of Raman light scattering from molecular compounds. The noise in this case is the unavoidable background molecular luminescence. Our experimental and computer simulation data demonstrate an anomalous optical response due to the excitation of metal-dielectric surface resonances. An enhanced Raman scattering signal is observed from 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic) acid (DTNB) organic molecules deposited on the metasurface. The proposed metasurface provides a significant enhancement of the RS signal in comparison with the luminescence signal and is an efficient substrate for realising giant Raman scattering of light.

[IEEE 2018 Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM 2018) - Paris (2018.7.8-2018.7.13)] 2018 Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM 2018) - Tattoo Inks EM Characterization for MRI Interaction Evaluation
摘要： The lack of knowledge about the safety implications of tattooed individuals subjected to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) may, sometimes, lead to an exaggerate reaction from physicians such as the avoidance of the exam for tattooed patients. To explore the actual risks, in this work, the magnetic and electrical properties of five different tattoo inks have been measured to investigate their interaction with the MRI electromagnetic (EM) fields. Results highlight that the magnetic and electrical behaviour strongly depend on the type of analyzed ink. Magnetic measurements also reveal a different response between the ink solutions and the relative pigments.

Optical Sensing of Broadband RF Magnetic Field Using a Micrometer-Sized Diamond
摘要： High-resolution ?eld imaging with minimized invasiveness is of growing interest with the development of radio frequency (RF) integrated circuits and planar antenna characterization. In this paper, we propose an optical broadband sensor with static offset magnetic ?eld using a diamond crystal that contains an ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. The spatial resolution of micrometer scale is demonstrated by using a diamond crystal of this size. This technique is based on the modulation of ?uorescence emitting by NV center under green laser excitation, by an off-axis magnetic ?eld at radio frequencies. We demonstrate experimentally the detection of an RF magnetic ?eld, with minimum measurable amplitude on the order of 0.1 Gauss, which is limited by the noise ?oor of the avalanche photodetector. The sensitivity can be further improved by noise suppression in optics. The bandwidth of the sensor is measured to be 15 MHz.

Nanostars on Nanopipettes: A Raman Probe for Quantifying Oxygen Levels in Hypoxia in Single Cells and Tumors
摘要： Multiple sharp-edged gold nanostars were efficiently assembled on nanopipette tips by 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTES) via an electrostatic interaction for a potent intracellular hypoxia-sensing Raman probe. Colloidal stability and surface immobilization was checked using scanning electron microscopy, light scattering and zeta potential measurements. Site-specific intracellular hypoxia levels can be estimated in vitro and in vivo using Raman lancets (RL). Distinct Raman spectral changes for the nitro-(NO2) functional group of the redox maker 4-nitrothiophenol (4NTP) can be quantified according to the intracellular oxygen (O2) contents, ranging from 1% to 10%. Facile removal of RL from cells can be achieved after a short measurement time. Redox potential changes in mitochondrial respiration could also be examined using serial injection of inhibitors. Three-dimensional (3D)-cultured cells and in vivo tests were used to validate our methods of measuring tumour hypoxia; potential applications were validated in terms of judging the aggressiveness of cancer cells by differentiating spectral changes between malignant and benign cells.

Minimally asymmetric state conversion around exceptional singularities in a specialty optical microcavity
摘要： Exploiting scattering matrix (S-matrix) formalism, a unique route for manipulating the exceptional points (EPs) has been reported in a trilayer open optical microcavity with non-uniform real refractive index. The boundaries of the intermediate index layer are appropriately tapered. The cavity is partially pumped by transverse distribution of a balanced gain-loss profile. With strict restriction of balanced gain-loss, controlling infinitesimally small variation of gain-coefficient with simultaneous tapering parameter an EP has been encountered; which is being encircled in cavity parameter space to study dynamics of the coupled states around the EP in the context of robust selective flip-of-state phenomena with lower-asymmetry in state conversion efficiencies. Such a specialty trilayer microcavity with tunable width is reported for the first time; which turns out to be a specific approach to achieve maximum efficiency in conversion with minimum asymmetry. Considering suitable state-of-the-art techniques, this exclusive proposal may open up a fabrication feasible platform for device level implementation of system control exploiting EPs.
