In this work we propose replacing the conventional flat-surface airframe that shields the engine by a wavy surface. The basic principle is to design a wavy pattern to reflect the incoming near-field flow and acoustic perturbations into waves of a particular dominant frequency. The reflected waves will then excite the corresponding frequency of the large-scale structure in the initial region of the jet’s shear layer. By designing the frequency of the reflected waves to be the harmonic of the fundamental frequency that corresponds to the radiated peak noise, the two frequency-modes interact nonlinearly. With the appropriate phase difference, the harmonic dampens the fundamental as it extracts energy from it to amplify. The outcome is a reduction in the peak noise. To evaluate this concept, we conducted Detached Eddy Simulations for a rectangular supersonic jet with and without the wavy shield and verified our numerical results with experimental data for a free jet, as well as, for a jet with an adjacent flat surface. Results show that the proposed wavy surface reduces the jet noise as compared to that of the corresponding flat surface by as much as 4 dB.

Abstract In biology, sensing is a major driver of discovery. A principal challenge is to create a palette of probes that offer near single-molecule sensitivity and simultaneously enable multiplexed sensing and imaging in the “tissue-transparent” near-infrared region. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering and metal-enhanced fluorescence have shown substantial promise in addressing this need. Here, we theorize a rational design and optimization strategy to generate nanostructured probes that combine distinct plasmonic materials sandwiching a dielectric layer in a multilayer core shell configuration. The lower energy resonance peak in this multi-resonant construct is found to be highly tunable from visible to the near-IR region. Such a configuration also allows substantially higher near-field enhancement, compared to a classical core-shell nanoparticle that possesses a single metallic shell, by exploiting the differential coupling between the two core-shell interfaces. Combining such structures in a dimer configuration, which remains largely unexplored at this time, offers significant opportunities not only for near-field enhancement but also for multiplexed sensing via the (otherwise unavailable) higher order resonance modes. Together, these theoretical calculations open the door for employing such hybrid multi-layered structures, which combine facile spectral tunability with ultrahigh sensitivity, for biomolecular sensing.

AbstractIn this paper we discuss the optical response of laser-written plasmonic colours on silver coated via the atomic layer deposition of alumina. These colours are due to nanoparticles distributed on a flat surface and on a surface with periodic topographical features (i.e. ripples). The colours are observed to shift with increasing alumina film thickness. The colours produced by surfaces with ripples recover their original vibrancy and hue after the deposition of film of thickness ~60 nm, while colours arising from flat surfaces gradually fade and never recover. Analysis of the surfaces identifies periodic topographical features to be responsible for this behaviour. Finite-difference time-domain simulations unravel the role played by the alumina thickness in colour formation and confirm the rotations and recovery of colours for increasing alumina thickness. The coloured surfaces were evaluated for applications in colourimetric and radiometric sensing showing large sensitivities of up to 3.06/nm and 3.19 nm/nm, respectively. The colourimetric and radiometric sensitivities are observed to be colour dependent.

Novel 3D-configurated stereoisomers cis-cup-tris[C60>(DPAF-C9)] and trans-chair-tris[C60>(DPAF-C9)] were designed and synthesized in good yields. The former, with three C60> cages per molecule facing at the same side of the geometrical molecular cup-shape, was proposed to provide excellent binding interaction forces at the gold surface of core-shell γ-FeOx@AuNP nanoparticles and to direct the subsequent formation of a fullerene cage array (defined as fullerosome). Upon photoactivation of the Au-layer and cis-cup-tris[C60>(DPAF-C9)] itself, the degree of photoinduced intramolecular e−-transfer from DPAF to a C60> moiety was found to be largely enhanced by the accumulated plasmonic resonance energy at the near-field surface. Distribution of resulting negative charges along the outer (C60>)-derived fullerosome shell layer of the trilayered NPs was correlated with the detected photoswitchable dielectric amplification phenomena using white LED light at 1.0 GHz.
