Size and dimension dependent surface-enhanced Raman scattering properties of well-defined Ag nanocubes
摘要： Understanding the role of the morphology and particle–particle interactions on the plasmonic properties is of significant importance for the development of nanomaterials with excellent optical properties. However, the preparation of precisely defined nanomaterials with sizes that span a large range and their controllable self-assembly still remain a great challenge. Here, a multistep seed-mediated method has been established for preparing uniform Ag nanocubes over a broad size range from nanoscale (50 nm) to microscale (1400 nm) and with different hierarchical nanostructures range from “zero-dimension” (“0D”) to “three-dimension” (“3D”). The influence of the size and the interactions between the Ag nanocubes on their surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) properties have been systematically and quantitatively investigated. It is demonstrated through experiments and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) calculations that the SERS activity is dependent on the matching of the nanocube size to the excitation wavelength. The optimal combinations are 80, 110 and 130 nm nanocubes with respect to 532, 638 and 785 nm excitation wavelength, respectively. Furthermore, the Raman enhancement of the Ag nanocube hierarchical nanostructures increases rapidly from “0D” to “3D”, due to the extra increase of the hot spots that is attributed to the out-of-plane plasmonic coupling realized in the “3D” hierarchical nanostructures. This work clearly illustrates the quantitative role of the size and dimension of Ag nanocubes on their SERS properties and provides fundamental information for the design of advanced nanomaterials with higher SERS sensitivity.

Reproduction of surface-enhanced resonant Raman scattering and fluorescence spectra of a strong coupling system composed of a single silver nanoparticle dimer and a few dye molecules
摘要： The spectral changes in surface-enhanced resonant Raman scattering (SERRS) and surface enhanced fluorescence (SEF) of single silver nanoparticle dimers adsorbed by near-single dye molecules are reproduced under strong coupling regimes. For the reproduction, the enhancement and quenching factors in SERRS and SEF are derived from the Purcell factors including both radiative and nonradiative plasmon modes. The Purcell factors are estimated using the coupling energies obtained by analyzing the spectral changes in plasmon resonance during SERRS and SEF decay processes on the basis of a classical hybridization model. The model is composed of a plasmon and a molecular exciton with phonon replicas accurately representing the molecular multi-level system. The reproduced SERRS spectral changes are consistent with the experimental ones. Furthermore, the calculated SEF spectral changes can reproduce the experimental ones by phenomenologically assuming transitions from ultra-fast SEF to conventional SEF with decreasing coupling energies.

Copper’s Role in the Photoluminescence of Ag1?xCuxInS2 Nanocrystals, from Copper-Doped AgInS2 (x ~ 0) to CuInS2 (x = 1)
摘要： A series of Ag1?xCuxInS2 nanocrystals (NCs) spanning from 0 ≤ x ≤ ~1 was synthesized by partial cation exchange to identify copper’s contributions to the electronic structure and spectroscopic properties of these NCs. Discrete mid-gap states appear above the valence band (VB) upon doping AgInS2 NCs with Cu+ (small x). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that these mid-gap states are associated with the 3d valence orbitals of the Cu+ impurities. With increasing x, these impurity d levels gradually evolve to become the VB edge of CuInS2 NCs, but the highest-occupied orbital's description does not change significantly across the entire range of x. In contrast with this gradual evolution, Ag1?xCuxInS2 NC photoluminescence shifts rapidly with initial additions of Cu+ (small x) but then becomes independent of x beyond x > ~0.20, all the way to CuInS2 (x = 1.00). Data analysis suggests small but detectable hole delocalization in the luminescent excited state of CuInS2 NCs, estimated by Monte Carlo simulations to involve at most about four copper ions. These results provide unique insights into the luminescent excited states of these materials and they reinforce the description of CuInS2 NCs as “heavily copper-doped NCs” in which photogenerated holes are rapidly localized in copper 3d-based orbitals.

A Study on the Solvent Vapor Induced Film Formation of PS/AgNPs Composites
摘要： In this study, pyrene (P) tagged polystyrene (PS) latex dispersions and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were mixed at various weight fractions in the range between 0 and 50 wt%. The prepared mixtures were dropped on the glass substrates by considering drop casting method and were dried at the room temperature. The resultant powder films were then exposed to solvent vapor to monitor how film formation and morphological behaviors of PS/AgNPs composites are altered. Film formation behavior of composites was assessed via fast transient fluorescence (FTRF) which measures the ?uorescence lifetimes of P from its decay traces during vapor exposure process. It was observed that pyrene lifetimes decreased as vapor exposure time, t increased. A Stern–Volmer kinetic analysis was used for low quenching ef?ciencies to interpret the decrease in pyrene lifetimes. UV-Vis (UVV) technique was employed to monitor optical transparency of the films. In the range of 0-20 wt% of AgNPs content, smooth and transparent films were obtained. However, above this range, the films were seen that they have low transparency and poor film formation since the increment in AgNPs content was lead to aggregations. The Prager–Tirrel model was employed to the FTRF data to obtain back-and-forth frequencies, ν, of the reptating PS chains during vapor induced ?lm formation process. SEM images of the samples were taken after film formation process is completed and were found to be consistent with optical and fluorescence quenching data.

Enhanced electrical conductivity of silver nanoparticles decorated fabrics with sandwich micro-structure coating layer based on “silver colloid effect”
摘要： Surface modification of nonconductor fabric substrate for enhancing electrical conductivity is a desirable work of flexible wearable devices. In our work, silver conductive layer with sandwich micro-structure was decorated on polyester fabric, and such a sandwich micro-structure layer is composed of the inner polyurethane (PU) as the interface binder, the filling layer of the precipitating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as the conductive path via in-situ chemical synthesis, the outer PU layer as the shielding layer. The obtained sandwich micro-structure PET fabric possessed six orders of magnitude higher conductivity than that of the case without sandwich micro-structure. Such marvelous increasing conductivity can be attributed to the “silver colloid effect” which is deemed as approximation of conductive principle of silver conductive adhesives. The present study provides a potential strategy and theoretical basis for the preparation of low concentration silver conductive fabrics.

Improved stability of silver nanowire (AgNW) electrode for high temperature applications using selective photoresist passivation
摘要： Metal nanostructure arrays have been progressed as an alternative to the conventional oxides-based transparent conductive electrodes. Herein, we demonstrate the improved reliability of silver nanowire (AgNW) electrodes by photoresist encapsulation. The incorporation of photoresist followed by photolithography is beneficial to selectively pattern the AgNWs on poly[ether sulfone]. By varying the development or removal time of the ultraviolet (UV)-exposed photoresist, the properties of the AgNWs in the electrode are significantly varied. The optical parameters such as transmittance, haziness, and the yellow index of the electrodes have been extensively studied to reveal the advantage of the selective photoresist patterning. The AgNW electrodes patterned under 120 s of development time explored superior optical and electrical properties with high durability. The electrical properties of the AgNW electrodes at high temperatures (250 °C) demonstrate the photoresist-induced stability as compared to bare samples. Further, the morphological examination after the high temperature treatment reveals the reduced Rayleigh instability effects in 120s developed AgNWs that facilitate the reliability under harsh conditions.

A unique FRET approach toward detection of single-base mismatch DNA in BRCA1 gene
摘要： Early detection of mutation carriers in predisposing genes such as BRCA1 plays an important role in disease prevention. This work developed a quantum dots-based (QDs-based) fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) technique for the detection of single-base mismatch DNA in BRCA1 gene. The FRET between QDs as the donor and silver nanocluster (AgNCs) as the acceptor was designed by the strong interaction between CdTe QDs with appropriate size and dsDNA through binding to its major groove. The dsDNA was formed by the hybridization of ssDNA labeled to AgNCs with target DNA, which introduced CdTe QDs into the major grooves to place the AgNCs in close proximity to the QDs. The complementary and single-base mismatch DNA led to obviously different FRET signals. The FRET signal linearly correlated to the concentration of single-base mismatch DNA in the range of 1.5 × 10^{-10}–1.0 × 10^{-6} mol L^{-1}. The proposed method showed a detection limit of 80 pmol L^{-1} and the sensitivity comparable to the previously reported assays, indicating promising potential for single nucleotide polymorphisms diagnosis in clinical application.

Visible light sensitive Ag/TiO2/graphene composite as a potential coating material for control of Campylobacter jejuni
摘要： Infectious diarrhea caused by the food borne pathogen, Campylobacter jejuni, is a major threat to public health worldwide leads high incidence of child mortality each year. In the present study, hydrothermal synthesis of Silver-Graphene-TiO2 nanocomposites along with TiO2, TiO2-Graphene and TiO2-silver nanocomposites was done and the samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), tunneling electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-Vis Spectroscopy. Effect of silver and graphene addition on the broad spectrum antibacterial ability of TiO2 was studied under visible light. Moreover, the effects on bacterial survival, membrane integrity, cellular motiltiy and biofilm formation of C. jejuni were also evaluated. A synergetic effect of silver and graphene on Silver-Graphene-TiO2 nanocomposites was observed as indicated by its increased visible light sensitivity and enhanced antibacterial activity under visible light compared to its parent derivatives. Silver-Graphene-TiO2 composites effectively reduced growth and caused leakage of protein and DNA from C. jejuni cell. Atomic Force Microscopy was used to confirm bacterial cell damage. Besides, it also reduced motillity, hydrophobicity and autoaggregation of C. jejuni and showed excellent inhibition of biofilm formation. Furthermore, no significant cytotoxicity of synthesized nanoparticles was observed in human cell lines. We propose that Silver-Graphene-TiO2 composites can be used as effective antimicrobial agents to control the spread of C. jejuni by preventing both bacterial growth and biofilm formation.

Ultrasensitive LPFG corrosion sensor with Fe-C coating electroplated on a Gr/AgNW film
摘要： This paper presents the first report on an ultrasensitive Fe-C coated long period fiber gratings (LPFG) corrosion sensor with graphene (Gr) and silver nanowire (AgNW) composite as a conductive film for Fe-C electroplating. The Gr/AgNW composite was grown on copper foil, wet transferred and adhered to the curve surface of the fiber optic sensor under atmospheric pressure and heating conditions. For comparison, another Fe-C coated LPFG sensor was prepared with silver nano ink as a conductive film. Both sensors were tested for 72 h in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution with simultaneous measurements of transmission spectrum and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Due to its high optical transparency, the Gr/AgNW composite increased the wavelength sensitivity and service life of a Fe-C coated LPFG sensor by over 90% and 110%, respectively. The effective depth of influence to the evanescent field surrounding the LPFG sensor was 23.6 μm with the silver film and greater than 30 μm with the Gr/AgNW film.

Electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) with a cold-field emission scanning electron microscope at low accelerating voltage in transmission mode
摘要： A commercial electron energy-loss spectrometer (EELS) attached to a high-resolution cold-field emission scanning electron microscope in transmission mode (STEM) is evaluated and its potential for characterizing materials science thin specimens at low accelerating voltage is reviewed. Despite the increased beam radiation damage at SEM voltages on sensitive compounds, we describe some potential applications which benefit from lowering the primary electrons voltage on less-sensitive specimens. We report bandgap measurements on several dielectrics which were facilitated by the lack of Cherenkov radiation losses at 30 kV. The possibility of volume plasmon imaging to probe local composition changes in complex materials was demonstrated using energy-filtered STEM, either via spectrum imaging or elemental mapping using the 'three-windows' method. As plasmonic materials are increasing used for energy, electronics or biomedical applications, the ability of reliably evaluate their properties at low accelerating voltage in a SEM is very appealing and is demonstrated. The energy resolution of the spectrometer, taken as the full width at half maximum of the zero-loss peak, was routinely measured at around 0.55 eV and it is demonstrated that t/λ ratios up to 1.5 allowed practical EEL spectroscopy at 30 kV.
