Surface Plasmon Effects on Photoluminescence of YAG:Ce³⁺-Yb³⁺

Abstract:

Phosphor materials have fascinating applications in the field of photovoltaic and biosensors but low quantum yield is a major hurdle in their applications. In this paper, the influence of surface plasmon on the photoluminescence is investigated with surface modified YAG:Ce³⁺-Yb³⁺ coupled with spherical gold nanoparticles. The YAG:Ce³⁺-Yb³⁺ photoluminescence band ratio Yb/Ce rise from 0.25 to 0.32 with the plasmon effects. For the photoluminescence, the decay time of Ce reduces from 31.9 ns to 29.9 ns while for Yb from 54.2 ms to 52.0 ms respectively. Further, the plasmon absorption peak is also observed in the spectra of YAG:Ce³⁺-Yb³⁺/Au nanoparticles system. The results indicate that the field inside the phosphors has been modulated with surface plasmon of gold nanoparticles.

Shape and Size Dependent Melting Point Temperature of Nanoparticles

Authors: Sanjeev K. Gupta, Mina Talati, Prafulla K. Jha

Abstract: The present paper reports a simple calculation of the size and shape dependent melting temperature of nanoparticles. The melting temperature of any nanoparticle basically depends on the ratio of surface atoms to the total atoms. Significant melting temperature suppression is observed when the particle size approaches the sub-20 nm range. The behavior of melting temperature is similar for the larger nanoparticles of all considered shapes but differs significantly for small nanoparticles. Different melting temperature is predicted for the nanoparticles of the same size in different shapes.

Synthesis of Core@Shell Composites with Gold Nanoparticles Trapped inside Ceramic Silica Shells by the Sol-Gel Method

Authors: Chien Jung Huang, Pin Hsiang Chiu, Yeong Her Wang

Abstract: This paper describes a sol-gel (SG) method for the coating of gold nanoparticles with uniform shells of amorphous silica. The thickness of silica could be conveniently controlled in the range of 10 to 120 nm by increasing the amount of water. Although spherical gold nanoparticles generally have a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) at a wavelength of about 520 nm, a spherical gold core with a silica shell offers a very highly tunable SPR wavelength depending on the thickness of the silica shell.

Sputtering Phenomena of ZnS Nanomaterial by Impacting of High-Energy Electron in a Transmission Electron Microscope

Authors: Ke Jie Zhang, Hong Yan Zhou, Xiao Heng Liu

Abstract: An interesting sputtering phenomenon was shown when ZnS nanomaterial was irradiated by high-energy beams in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Almost sputtered nanoparticles were spherical and well-dispersed. The sizes of deposited ZnS nanoparticles showed a good gradient distribution based on their distance away from the sputtering target. These nanoparticles had gradual changes in diameter from about 1 to 15 nm. This research may afford a simple and efficient method to prepare well-dispersed semiconductor nanocrystals in a small size range.

Nonspherical Gold Nanoparticles as Bright Light Scattering Labels with Narrow Plasmon Lines

Authors: Vladimir A. Vinokurov, Alexander V. Muradov, Michael Getmanskiy, Le Qiu, Edward Vitkin, Irving Itzkan, Lev T. Perelman

Abstract: In this paper we discuss the potential of nonspherical gold nanoparticles to serve as extremely bright light scattering labels for the detection of disease through several centimeters of tissue in humans in vivo. However, attempts to realize this important potential of gold nanoparticles have been limited by the broad spectroscopic linewidths usually observed. We identify the origin of this broadening as inhomogeneous broadening due to the extreme sensitivity of the surface plasmon resonance to the nanoparticle aspect ratio.

Study of Surface Raman and Fluorescence Enhancement of RhB Molecules Adsorbed on Au Nanoparticles

Authors: Jun Tang, Huan Fei Wen, Peng Lan Chai, Jun Liu, Yun Bo Shi, Chen Yang Xue

Abstract: In this work, an interesting phenomenon demonstrating the similarities between the results from both Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) and Surface Enhanced Fluoresence (SEF) for rhodamine B (RhB) molecules adsorbed on gold nanoparticles was reported. By changing the deposition time, porous Au nanoparticle films with various densities and sizes were deposited. Via thermal annealing, the densities and sizes were modified. It is concluded from the results that the intensity of SERS and SEF varied in parallel with different Au nanoparticle films: different sizes and different densities. We believe that the results obtained can provide us with a reference when developing bio-chemical sensors based on Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy and Surface Enhanced Fluorescence.
