AbstractBoth multilayered (ML) and few-layered (FL) Ti3C2Tx nanosheets have been prepared through a typical etching and delaminating procedure. Various characterizations confirm that the dominant terminal groups on ML-Ti3C2Tx and FL-Ti3C2Tx are different, which have been assigned to O-related and hydroxyl groups, respectively. Such deviation of the dominant terminals results in the different physical and chemical performance and eventually makes the nanosheets have different potential applications. In particular, before coupling to Ag nanoparticles, ML-Ti3C2Tx can present stronger near-field enhancement effect; however, Ag/FL-Ti3C2Tx hybrid structure can confine stronger near-field due to the electron injection, which can be offered by the terminated hydroxyl groups.

Abstract Both multilayered (ML) and few-layered (FL) Ti3C2Tx nanosheets with different dominant terminal groups have been prepared through a typical etching and delaminating procedure. Various characterizations confirm that the physical and chemical performance of the nanosheets are dependent on the dominant functional groups. It has been demonstrated that ML-Ti3C2Tx has been mainly terminated by O-related groups, which result in better oxidation resistance and stronger near-field enhancement effect. As for FL-Ti3C2Tx, which is mainly terminated by hydroxyl groups, it can be better dispersed in aqueous solution and could confine stronger near-field after coupling to Ag nanostructures by electron injection.

AbstractBy using gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) as an optical near-field source under far-field illumination in combination with a silver (Ag) ion solution containing a photoinitiator, we coated Ag on Au NPs using a near-field (NF)-assisted process. We evaluated the change in the size of the NPs using transmission electron microscopy. Evaluation of the synthesized Ag volume over illumination power confirmed the squared power dependence of the NP volume with illumination using 808 nm light, i.e., a wavelength longer than the absorption edge wavelength of the photoinitiator molecules. The rate of volume increase was much lower than the plasmonic field enhancement effect. Therefore, the squared power dependency of the volume increase using a wavelength longer than the absorption edge wavelength originated from NF-assisted second-harmonic generation and the resulting excitation.

AbstractThe recent progress in laser processing reaches a level where a precise fabrication that overcomes the diffraction limit of the far-field optics can be achieved. Laser processing mediated by enhanced near field is one of the attractive methods to provide highly precise structuring with a simple apparatus. In this review, we describe the fundamentals of the electromagnetic near field in the vicinity of small structures and the application of its specific properties for nanomodification. Theoretical and experimental results on nanoablation based on electromagnetic field enhancement due to plasmon polariton excitation and Mie scattering are discussed. High-throughput nanohole fabrication mediated by arrayed nanospheres is discussed, as the coupling effect of near field is also considered. In addition, recent fabrication techniques and their potential applications in nanopatterning, nanoscale deformation, and biophotonics are discussed.

We present a facile approach for the determination of the electromagnetic field enhancement of nanostructured TiN electrodes. As model system, TiN with partially collapsed nanotube structure obtained from nitridation of TiO2 nanotube arrays was used. Using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy, the electromagnetic field enhancement factors (EFs) of the substrate across the optical region were determined. The non-surface binding SERS reporter group azidobenzene was chosen, for which contributions from the chemical enhancement effect can be minimized. Derived EFs correlated with the electronic absorption profile and reached 3.9 at 786 nm excitation. Near-field enhancement and far-field absorption simulated with rigorous coupled wave analysis showed good agreement with the experimental observations. The major optical activity of TiN was concluded to originate from collective localized plasmonic modes at ca. 700 nm arising from the specific nanostructure.

We apply the field enhancement effect due to plasmon polariton excitation on a metallic nanostructure in order to improve the diffraction limited spatial resolution of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. A cantilever probe tip coated with a 25 nm-thick gold film is utilized as a near-field light source to locally excite the CARS polarizations near the tip. Our CARS microscope has effectively enhanced the CARS signals and realized vibrational imaging of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) beyond the spatial resolution of far-field CARS microscopy.
