The extinction spectra and electric field distribution of an asymmetric cylindrical nanorod dimer (ACND) are calculated by discrete dipole approximation. The ACND is composed of two linear orders of cylindrical silver nanorods with different radii and lengths. The effects of the structural parameters of ACND on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) mode are also studied. Results show two resonance peaks in the extinction spectra of ACND: the higher-energy anti-bonding mode and the lower-energy bonding mode. The interaction of two hybridization plasmonic resonance modes produces an asymmetric line shape in the extinction spectra, which is considered to be a Fano resonance profile.

Abstract Multi-metallic alloy nanoparticles (NPs) can enable the advanced applications in the energy, biology, electronics, optics and catalysis due to their multi-functionality, wide tunable range and electronic heterogeneity. In this work, various mono-, bi- and tri-metallic nanostructures composed of Ag, Au and Pt are demonstrated on transparent c-plane sapphire (0001) substrates and the corresponding morphological and optical characteristics are thoroughly investigated. The resulting Pt and AuPt NPs in this study demonstrate much enhanced LSPR responses as compared to the pure Pt NPs from the previous studies, which was contributed by the synergistic effect of Au and Pt and improved surface morphology. These results are sharply distinct in terms of surface morphology and elemental variability from those obtained by the dewetting of monometallic Ag, Au and Pt films under the similar growth conditions, which is due to the distinct dewetting kinetics of the bi-layer and tri-layer films. These NPs exhibit strongly enhanced localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) bands in the UV-VIS wavelengths such as dipolar, quadrupolar, multipolar and higher order resonance modes depending upon the size and elemental composition of NPs. The LSPR bands are much stronger with the high Ag content and gradually attenuated with the Ag sublimation. Furthermore, the VIS region LSPR bands are readily blue shifted along with the reduction of NP size. The Ag/Pt bi-layers and Ag/Au/Pt tri-layers are systematically dewetted and transformed into various AgPt and AgAuPt nanostructures such as networked, elongated and semispherical configurations by means of enhanced surface diffusion, intermixing and energy minimization along with the temperature control. The sublimation of Ag atoms plays a significant role in the structural and elemental composition of NPs such that more isolated and semispherical Pt and AuPt NPs are evolved from the AgPt and AgAuPt NPs respectively.

AbstractLocalized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) was performed in the deep ultraviolet (UVC) region with Al nanohemisphere structures fabricated by means of a simple method using a combination of vapor deposition, sputtering, and thermal annealing without top-down nanofabrication technology such as electron beam lithography. The LSPR in the UV region was obtained and tuned by the initial metal film thickness, annealing temperature, and dielectric spacer layer thickness. Moreover, we achieved a flexible tuning of the LSPR in a much deeper UVC region below 200 nm using a nanohemisphere on a mirror (NHoM) structure. NHoM is a structure in which a metal nanohemisphere is formed on a metal substrate that is interposed with an Al2O3 thin film layer. In the experimental validation, Al and Ga were used for the metal hemispheres. The LSPR spectrum of the NHoM structures was split into two peaks, and the peak intensities were enhanced and sharpened. The shorter branch of the LSPR peak appeared in the UVC region below 200 nm. Both the peak intensities and linewidth were flexibly tuned by the spacer thickness. This structure can contribute to new developments in the field of deep UV plasmonics.

AbstractA simple optical fiber sensor based on localized surface plasmon resonance was constructed for direct and rapid measurement of thyroglobulin (Tg). Specific tests for Tg in patients that have undergone thyroidectomy are limited because of insufficient sensitivity, complicated procedures, and in some cases, a long time to yield a result. A sensitive, fast, and simple method is necessary to relieve the psychological and physical burden of the patient. Various concentrations of Tg were measured in a microfluidic channel using an optical fiber sensor with gold nanoparticles. The sensor chip has a detection limit of 93.11 fg/mL with no specificity for other antigens. The potential applicability of the Tg sensing system was evaluated using arbitrary samples containing specific concentrations of Tg. Finally, the sensor can be employed to detect Tg in the patient’s serum, with a good correlation when compared with the commercial kit.
