Low-dimensional carbon spacers in surface plasmon-coupled emission with femtomolar sensitivity and 1000-fold fluorescence enhancements.

چکیده
We have engineered the use of 2D, 1D and 0D carbon allotropes as spacers to achieve in excess of 1000-fold fluorescence enhancements in a Surface plasmon-coupled emission (SPCE) platform. We also have demonstrated the femtomolar sensitivity of silver decorated carbon dots (AgCD) in the detection of a radiating dipole.

Purcell factor based understanding of enhancements in surface plasmon-coupled emission with DNA architectures.
We demonstrate the successful application of DNA thin films as dynamic bio-spacers in a surface plasmon-coupled emission platform. Site-directed DNA modification using silver and carbon nanomaterials resulted in an amplified Purcell factor (PF) and >130-fold fluorescence enhancements. We present unique architectures of DNA as a plasmonic spacer in metal-dielectric-metal substrates.
متن کاملResonant plasmonic enhancement of single-molecule fluorescence by individual gold nanorods.
Enhancing the fluorescence of a weak emitter is important to further extend the reach of single-molecule fluorescence imaging to many unexplored systems. Here we study fluorescence enhancement by isolated gold nanorods and explore the role of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) on the observed enhancements. Gold nanorods can be cheaply synthesized in large volumes, yet we find similar fluoresce...
متن کاملDistance-Dependent Plasmon-Enhanced Fluorescence of Upconversion Nanoparticles using Polyelectrolyte Multilayers as Tunable Spacers
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have attracted widespread interests in bioapplications due to their unique optical properties by converting near infrared excitation to visible emission. However, relatively low quantum yield prompts a need for developing methods for fluorescence enhancement. Plasmon nanostructures are known to efficiently enhance fluorescence of the surroundi...
متن کاملOptimal Structure of a Plasmonic Chip for Sensitive Bio-Detection with the Grating-Coupled Surface Plasmon-Field Enhanced Fluorescence (GC-SPF)
Surface plasmon field-enhanced fluorescence (SPF) has been one of the powerful tools for biosensors and bioimaging. A wavelength-scale periodic structure coated with a thin metal film is called a plasmonic chip, and it can provide SPF. SPF of Cy5-streptavidin (Cy5-SA) was measured on a biotinylated plasmonic chip with a grating of 480 nm-pitch. The optimal structure of a plasmonic sensor-chip w...
متن کاملUse of silver nanoparticles to enhance surface plasmon-coupled emission (SPCE).
We report that self-assembled monolayers of colloidal silver nanoparticles can increase the intensity of the surface plasmon-coupled emission (SPCE) signal from sulforhodamine 101 (S101). The S101 was spin coated on a glass slide coated with a layer of continuous silver, and a silica layer upon which the nanoparticle layer was self-assembled. Of the various colloid sizes studied, the 40 nm coll...
