Plasmon Resonances for Biospecific Interactions Sensing
نویسندگان
چکیده
An implementation of plasmon resonances in nanocomposite thin films for biosensors is discussed. The effect is studied in the system of modified Au inclusions inside the Teflon matrix. The optical response of the nanocomposite thin film with inhomogeneous distribution of embedded coated Au spherical nanoparticles across the film thickness is analyzed. The absorption profiles are calculated in a case of light incidence normally to the film surface. Their dependences on volume fractions and spatial distributions of inclusion nanoparticles across the film thickness are discussed for some values of the film thickness. The obtained absorption profiles depending on the characteristics of the shell of nanoinclusions allow proposing the optical control method for the biospecific reactions at the surface of modified nanoinclusions.

متن کاملSpoof surface plasmon based planar antennas for the realization of Terahertz hotspots
Novel spoof surface plasmon based terahertz (THz) antennas are realized using a few number of rectangular grooves perforated in ultrathin metal stripes and the properties of them, including both scattering cross sections and field enhancement, are numerically analyzed. The dependence of these properties on the incident angle and groove number is discussed and the results show that sharp resonan...

Gold nanostar particles were synthesized using seed-mediated method. Au-seed was synthesized with the diameter of approximately 3 nm and a considerably low STDEV of less than 1 nm. Then, different amount of Au seed was introduced into the growth solution of nanostars and the influence of the changes in concentration of Au seed on the growth process was investigated. The size of gold nanostars i...

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy of metallic nanoparticles is a powerful technique for chemical and biological sensing experiments. Moreover, the LSPR is responsible for the electromagnetic-field enhancement that leads to surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and other surface-enhanced spectroscopic processes. This review describes recent fundamental spectroscopic stud...
