Enhanced Raman and luminescence spectra from co-encapsulated silicon quantum dots and Au-Ag nanoalloys.

چکیده
We report an approach to enhance simultaneously luminescence and SERS signals with a single excitation wavelength by co-encapsulating silicon quantum dots and Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles encoded with Raman reporter molecules inside polymeric nanoparticles. The SERS-luminescence enhancement exploits the large Stokes shift of silicon quantum dots, which allows 'room' for the display of a Raman spectrum.

Adenosine Triphosphate-Encapsulated Liposomes with Plasmonic Nanoparticles for Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering-Based Immunoassays
In this study, we prepared adenosine triphosphate (ATP) encapsulated liposomes, and assessed their applicability for the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based assays with gold-silver alloy (Au@Ag)-assembled silica nanoparticles (NPs; SiO₂@Au@Ag). The liposomes were prepared by the thin film hydration method from a mixture of l-α-phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and PE-PEG2000 in chlor...
متن کاملSYNTHESIS OF SILICA-COATED Au WITH Ag, Co, Cu, AND Ir BIMETALLIC RADIOISOTOPE NANOPARTICLE RADIOTRACERS
Radioisotopes are useful tracers because their chemical properties are the same as those of stable isotopes and they show higher detection sensitivity than other tracers. Their usefulness has been demonstrated in fluorescence experiments in diverse areas including life science, medicine, and engineering. SiO2-coated radioisotope Au coreshell nanoparticles (Au@SiO2 NPs) were first synthesized by...
متن کاملEnergy transfer from a dye donor to enhance the luminescence of silicon quantum dots.
Quantum dots are known for their superior optical properties; however, when transferred into aqueous media, their luminescent properties are frequently compromised. When encapsulated in micelles for bioimaging applications, luminescent silicon quantum dots can lose as much as 50% of their luminescence depending on the formulation used. Here, we create an energy transfer micelle platform that co...
متن کاملPolarization-selective plasmon-enhanced silicon quantum-dot luminescence.
The photoluminescence intensity of silicon quantum dots is enhanced in a polarization-selective way by coupling to elongated Ag nanoparticles. The observed polarization dependence provides direct proof that the PL enhancement is due to electromagnetic coupling of the silicon quantum-dot emission dipoles with dipolar plasmon modes of the Ag nanoparticles. The polarization selectivity demonstrate...
متن کاملThe effect of doping Graphene Quantum Dots with K, B, N, and Cl on its emitted spectrum
In this work, the effect of doping Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) on their emission spectra has been studied. First, graphene has been deposited on SiC substrate by using sublimation method. Second, doped-GQDs have been distributed on the surface of graphene via drop casting. The structure of the samples have been studied and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy ...
