Haloalkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons sensing using Langmuir–Blodgett thin film of pillar[5]arene-biphenylcarboxylic acid
摘要： Here, a pillar[5]arene derivative including biphenylcarboxylic acid groups was designed for obtaining a macrocycle with an ideal cavity for volatile organic compounds. The pillar[5]arene-biphenylcarboxylic acid (P5-BPCA) based Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) thin films were produced onto 50 nm thick gold-coated glass and 3.5 MHz quartz crystal substrates to form a thin film chemical sensor element. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) techniques were employed to characterize all the P5-BPCA LB thin film layers. The mass of LB film layer loaded onto a quartz crystal and the resonance frequency shifts per layer were determined to be 711.71 ng per layer (2.68 ng mm?2) and 48.24 Hz per layer, respectively. The P5-BPCA LB thin film sensor element was exposed to various haloalkane and aromatic hydrocarbon vapors. The sensitivities of the P5-BPCA LB film sensor were determined between 1.776 and 3.976 Hz ppm-1. Sensitivity with detection limits were obtained between 0.754 and 1.689 ppm against organic vapors. The results showed that P5-BPCA LB thin film was highly selective with a large response to chloromethane vapor.

Direct Imaging of Surface Plasmon-Driven Hot Electron Flux on the Au Nanoprism/TiO <sub/>2</sub>
摘要： Direct measurement of hot electron flux from a plasmonic Schottky nanodiode is important for obtaining fundamental insights explaining the mechanism for electronic excitation on a surface. Here, we report the measurement of photo-induced hot electrons on a triangular Au nanoprism on TiO2 under incident light with photoconductive atomic force microscopy (pc-AFM), which is direct proof of the intrinsic relation between hot electrons and localized surface plasmon resonance. We find that the local photocurrent measured on the boundary of the Au nanoprism is higher than that inside the Au nanoprism, indicating that field confinement at the boundary of the Au nanoprism acts as a hot spot, leading to the enhancement of hot electron flow at the boundary. Under incident illumination with a wavelength near the absorption peak (645 nm) of a single Au nanoprism, localized surface plasmon resonance resulted in the generation of a higher photo-induced hot electron flow for the Au nanoprism/TiO2, compared with that at a wavelength of 532 nm. We show that the application of a reverse bias results in a higher photocurrent for the Au nanoprism/TiO2, which is associated with a lowering of the Schottky barrier height caused by the image force. These nanoscale measurements of hot electron flux with pc-AFM indicate efficient photon energy transfer mediated by surface plasmons in hot electron-based energy conversion.

Narrowband and Full-Angle Refractive Index Sensor Based on a Planar Multilayer Structure
摘要： This work reports a design of a narrowband and full-angle refractive index sensor based on Tamm plasmon resonance (TPR) by introducing a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) integrated with a non-adjacent metal layer. The analyte flows into the cavity comprising of the DBR and the non-adjacent metal layer. Simulated results show that the incident light can be strongly confined in the specially designed cavity. The sharp reflection dip within the forbidden band of the isolated DBR indicates the excitation of Tamm mode, and the spectral characteristics were monitored upon exposure to various analytes with different refractive indices. The optimally designed system shows the sensitivity (S) and full width at half-maximum (FWHM) can be up to 860 nm/RIU (refractive index unit) and ~2.2 nm with a figure of merit (FOM) of 391. Furthermore, the highly-sensitive characteristic can be sustained in a wide angle range of 0° to almost 90° under both TM- and TE-polarized lights.

Reflective SPR Sensor for Simultaneous Measurement of Nitrate Concentration and Temperature
摘要： In this paper, a reflective fiber optic sensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was proposed to measure nitrate concentration and temperature simultaneously. The sensor adopted reflective structure, and used gold film as metal film for exciting SPR. Then, Cu-nanoparticles/carbon nanotubes composite film was used as sensitive material to measure nitrate concentration, and it was coated on the surface of the gold film by the dip coating method. Finally, polydimethylsiloxane was coated on part of the sensing probe to produce two independent resonance dips in the output spectrum. When the nitrate concentration and temperature changed, the two resonance dips would all move, but with different sensitivities. By monitoring the wavelength shifts of the two dips, the nitrate concentration and temperature could be measured simultaneously with using the dual-wavelength matrix method. Experimental results demonstrated that the measurement sensitivity of the nitrate concentration could reach 3.25 nm/lg[M], and the temperature measurement sensitivity was ?2.02 nm/°C. Moreover, the sensor had high-mechanical strength and was easy to package, which could be applied to remote measurement field.

Investigation of a low cost tapered plastic fiber optic biosensor based on manipulation of colloidal gold nanoparticles
摘要： We demonstrate a low cost Tapered Fiber Optic Biosensor (TFOBS) based on manipulation of colloidal gold nanoparticle in the evanescent field of tapered fiber. The sensor consists of a biconical tapered plastic optical fiber with colloidal gold nanoparticles coated on the tapered region. The strength of evanescent field absorption as a function of gold nanoparticle size is evaluated using Finite Difference Time Domain simulation. Simulation results suggest that in order to achieve maximum absorption in visible range of wavelength, the size of the gold nanoparticle should be in the range 3-4 nm. Gold nanoparticle of desired size is then synthesized and coated on the tapered region to fabricate a TFOBS. It is found experimentally that coating of gold nanoparticles enhances the fraction of light coming out to the cladding surface. This is explained as a consequence of local surface plasmonic resonance. The TFOBS is then tested for its sensing application to detect Bovine Serum Albumin. Level of detection of the proposed sensor is calculated and is found as 0.326gm/dL.As normal albumin level in healthy human blood serum is between 3.5 to 5.5gm/dL, the proposed TFOBS can be used as a low cost accurate albumin sensor.

Novel SPR sensing platform based on superstructure MoS2 nanosheets for ultrasensitive detection of mercury ion
摘要： Water contamination by Hg2+ and its detection have attracted much attention. However, the detection limit for Hg2+ by traditional techniques is 200 pM, which is far higher than the maximum Hg2+ concentration allowed in effluent (7.5 pM). Here, we developed a novel surface-plasmon-resonance (SPR) sensor for Hg2+ detection by using superstructure MoS2 nanosheets as the sensing layer material. The simulations and structural characterizations reveal that the ultra-high sensitivity of the SPR sensor arises from the large interlayer spacing and sufficient unsaturated bonds in MoS2 superstructure, which promotes transporting and adsorbing Hg2+. Surprisingly, the Hg2+ detection limit of the SPR sensor is as low as 1.0 pM, which is 200 times lower than those of existing Hg2+ sensors. Therefore, our research presents an effective method for detecting ultra-low concentration of Hg2+ and also reveals the sensing mechanism of MoS2 – based SPR sensor. This not only extends the application of superstructure MoS2 nanosheets, but also provides a novel design idea for the development of ultra-sensitive detection technologies.

Optical diffraction radiation from a dielectric and a metal nanowire excited by a modulated electron beam
摘要： The optical diffraction radiation that accompanies the motion of a modulated beam of electrons near a dielectric and silver nanowire scatterers is investigated in the two-dimensional formulation. Our goal is to compute the field in the near and far zones and analyze how it depends on electron beam parameters. We demonstrate the excitation of internal resonances of such a scatterer that can be useful in the design of nanoscale non-invasive beam position monitors.

Sensitivity enhancement of surface plasmon resonance biosensor based on graphene and barium titanate layers
摘要： A surface plasmon resonance-based biosensor, consisting prism, silver, barium titanate (BaTiO3) and graphene layers, is presented by using angular interrogation. The structure is specially designed to further enhance the sensitivity and to decrease the full width at half maximum (FWHM) thereby improving the sensor performance. Theoretical analysis shows that the highest sensitivity can reach at 257°/RIU where the thickness of Ag layer is 45 nm with 10 nm BaTiO3 and one graphene layer. Compared with existing biosensors, the proposed biosensor exhibits higher sensitivity, lower FWHM and two times better preformation in the quality factor of the sensor, which would make our design have more applications in the field of biosensors.

High Sensitivity Photonic Crystal Fiber Refractive Index Sensor with Gold Coated Externally Based on Surface Plasmon Resonance
摘要： In this paper we propose a gold-plated photonic crystal fiber (PCF) refractive index sensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR), in which gold is coated on the external surface of PCF for easy fabrication and practical detection. The finite element method (FEM) is used for the performance analysis, and the numerical results show that the thickness of the gold film, the refractive index of the analyte, the radius of the air hole in the first layer, the second layer, and the central air hole can affect the sensing properties of the sensor. By optimizing the sensor structure, the maximum wavelength sensitivity can reach 11000 nm/RIU and the maximum amplitude sensitivity can reach 641 RIU?1. Due to its high sensitivity, the proposed sensor can be used for practical biological and chemical sensing.

Electron transfer during binding processes between thiolate molecules and Au nano-islands
摘要： We investigated electron transfer during the time-dependent binding processes between thiolate molecules and Au nano-islands by observing tunneling current with an interdigitated microelectrode supporting the sputtered Au nano-islands (IME@AuNI). The time-dependent optical and electrical signal variation during the binding process was examined for five kinds of thiolates. As the immersion time was prolonged, the optical absorbance increased, whereas the current passing through the IME@AuNI decreased. Importantly, the spectral and current characteristics depended on the thiolate structure, because of the formation of capping layer in accordance with thiolate structure. These results are mainly attributed to synergistic effects of electron transfer from Au nano-islands to thiolate molecules and bridging effects of thiolate molecules among Au nano-islands.
