Photo-induced electric polarizability of Fe3O4 nanoparticles in weak optical fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a developed co-precipitation method, we synthesized spherical Fe3O4 nanoparticles with a wide nonlinear absorption band of visible radiation. Optical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles dispersed in an optically transparent copolymer of methyl methacrylate with styrene were studied by optical spectroscopy and z-scan techniques. We found that the electric polarizability of Fe3O4 nanoparticles is altered by low-intensity visible radiation (I ≤ 0.2 kW/cm2; λ = 442 and 561 nm) and reaches a value of 107 Å3. The change in polarizability is induced by the intraband phototransition of charge carriers. This optical effect may be employed to improve the drug uptake properties of Fe3O4 nanoparticles.

Gold nanostructure assisted thermophoretic trapping of single nano-objects
The manipulation and trapping of nano-objects that undergo Brownian motion are of great interest in soft-matter sciences. Optical tweezing is the most common technique for the trapping of individual particles in solution and is based on the optical gradient force. Hence, a sufficiently high polarizability of the particle in the solution is required. While it is thus easy to trap single dielectr...

متن کاملPhoto-fluorescent and magnetic properties of iron oxide nanoparticles for biomedical applications.
Iron oxide exhibits fascinating physical properties especially in the nanometer range, not only from the standpoint of basic science, but also for a variety of engineering, particularly biomedical applications. For instance, Fe3O4 behaves as superparamagnetic as the particle size is reduced to a few nanometers in the single-domain region depending on the type of the material. The superparamagne...
