Nanoconfined water vapour as a probe to evaluate plasmonic heating
摘要： Engineering the photothermal effect in plasmonic materials is of paramount importance for many applications such as cancer therapy, chemical synthesis, cold catalysis and more recently for metasurfaces. Evaluation of plasmonic heating at the nanoscale is challenging and generally requires sophisticated equipments and/or temperature-sensitive probes such as fluorescent molecules or materials. Here we propose to use water vapor as probe to evaluate the local heating around plasmonic nanoparticles. We demonstrated the concept for the case of a plasmonic colloidal film composed by a bi-modal nanoporosity. In particular we exploit the thermal and light water liquid-vapor phase transitions taking place into the nanoporous medium that can be triggered by external stimulus such as heating or irradiation to obtain structural and optical variations in the films. Estimation of the local temperature was then obtained by using spectroscopic ellipsometry acquired by a multimodal chamber. More generally, this method offer a simple and general approach to determine local temperature that only requires a nanoporous material and water vapor, such as environmental humidity. In addition this approach can be further generalized to other materials, vapor molecules or optical technique.

Temporal Evolution of Polarization Resolved Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy of Cu
摘要： Polarization-resolved laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy based on a temporal investigation of polarized Cu plasma emission is presented by a gated detector with a width of 10 ns and a delay time range of 10 ns–2 μs. Polarization-resolved spectra show that the delay time plays a crucial role in plasma polarization for both continuum and discrete emissions. The polarization degree of continuum emission is shown to be stronger than the polarization degree of discrete emissions at delay times less than 500 ns, while this trend is inverse in a delay time range of 750 ns–1 μs. The mechanism for polarized continuum emission is proposed to have dynamic polarizability of a core, while the polarized discrete emission is driven by the interaction of the plasma with the surrounding environment. The latter may lead either to a deviation of plasma from local thermodynamic equilibrium or generation of self-magnetic fields.

Nanoscale temperature measurement during temperature controlled in situ TEM using Al plasmon nanothermometry
摘要： Over recent years, the advent of microelectromechanical system (MEMS)-type microheaters has pushed the limits of temperature controlled in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In particular, by enabling the observation of the structure of materials in their application environments, temperature controlled TEM provides unprecedented insights into the link between the properties of materials and their structure in real-world problems, a clear knowledge of which is necessary for rational development of functional materials with new or improved properties. While temperature is the key parameter in such experiments, accessing the precise temperature of the sample at the nanoscale during observations still remains challenging. In the present work, we have applied aluminium plasmon nanothermometry technique that monitors the temperature dependence of the volume plasmon of Al nanospheres using electron energy loss spectroscopy for in situ local temperature determination over a MEMS microheater. With access to local temperatures between room temperature to 550°C, we have assessed the spatial and temporal stabilities of the microheater when it operates at different setpoint temperatures both under vacuum and in the presence of a static H2 gas environment. Temperature comparisons performed under the two environments show discrepancies between local and setpoint temperatures.

Measurement and Evaluation of Local Surface Temperature Induced by Irradiation of Nanoscaled or Microscaled Electron Beams
摘要： Electron beams (e-beams) have been applied as detecting probes and clean energy sources in many applications. In this work, we investigated several approaches for measurement and estimation of the range and distribution of local temperatures on a subject surface under irradiation of nano-microscale e-beams. We showed that a high-intensity e-beam with current density of 105-6 A/cm2 could result in vaporization of solid Si and Au materials in seconds, with a local surface temperature higher than 3000 K. With a lower beam intensity to 103-4 A/cm2, e-beams could introduce local surface temperature in the range of 1000–2000 K shortly, causing local melting in metallic nanowires and Cr, Pt, and Pd thin films, and phase transition in metallic Mg-B films. We demonstrated that thin film thermocouples on a freestanding Si3N4 window were capable of detecting peaked local surface temperatures up to 2000 K and stable, and temperatures in a lower range with a high precision. We discussed the distribution of surface temperatures under e-beams, thermal dissipation of thick substrate, and a small converting ratio from the high kinetic energy of e-beam to the surface heat. The results may offer some clues for novel applications of e-beams.
