Abstract In biology, sensing is a major driver of discovery. A principal challenge is to create a palette of probes that offer near single-molecule sensitivity and simultaneously enable multiplexed sensing and imaging in the “tissue-transparent” near-infrared region. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering and metal-enhanced fluorescence have shown substantial promise in addressing this need. Here, we theorize a rational design and optimization strategy to generate nanostructured probes that combine distinct plasmonic materials sandwiching a dielectric layer in a multilayer core shell configuration. The lower energy resonance peak in this multi-resonant construct is found to be highly tunable from visible to the near-IR region. Such a configuration also allows substantially higher near-field enhancement, compared to a classical core-shell nanoparticle that possesses a single metallic shell, by exploiting the differential coupling between the two core-shell interfaces. Combining such structures in a dimer configuration, which remains largely unexplored at this time, offers significant opportunities not only for near-field enhancement but also for multiplexed sensing via the (otherwise unavailable) higher order resonance modes. Together, these theoretical calculations open the door for employing such hybrid multi-layered structures, which combine facile spectral tunability with ultrahigh sensitivity, for biomolecular sensing.

Novel 3D-configurated stereoisomers cis-cup-tris[C60>(DPAF-C9)] and trans-chair-tris[C60>(DPAF-C9)] were designed and synthesized in good yields. The former, with three C60> cages per molecule facing at the same side of the geometrical molecular cup-shape, was proposed to provide excellent binding interaction forces at the gold surface of core-shell γ-FeOx@AuNP nanoparticles and to direct the subsequent formation of a fullerene cage array (defined as fullerosome). Upon photoactivation of the Au-layer and cis-cup-tris[C60>(DPAF-C9)] itself, the degree of photoinduced intramolecular e−-transfer from DPAF to a C60> moiety was found to be largely enhanced by the accumulated plasmonic resonance energy at the near-field surface. Distribution of resulting negative charges along the outer (C60>)-derived fullerosome shell layer of the trilayered NPs was correlated with the detected photoswitchable dielectric amplification phenomena using white LED light at 1.0 GHz.

Abstract Near-field radiative heat transfer between Mie resonance-based metamaterials composed of SiC/d-Si (silicon carbide and doped silicon) core/shell particles immersed in aligned nematic liquid crystals are numerically investigated. The metamaterials composed of core/shell particles exhibit superior performances of enhanced heat transfer and obvious modulation effect when compared to that without shell. The underlying mechanism can be explained that the excitation of Fröhlich mode and epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) resonances both contribute to the total heat flux. Modulation of near-field radiative heat transfer can be realized with the host material of aligned nematic liquid crystals. The largest modulation ratio could be achieved as high as 0.45 for metamaterials composed of core/shell SiC/d-Si particles, and the corresponding heat flux is higher than other similar materials such as LiTaO3/GaSb and Ge/LiTaO3. While with the same volume filling fraction, the modulation ratio of that composed of SiC particles is only 0.2. We show that the core/shell nanoparticles dispersed liquid crystals (NDLCs) have a great potential in enhancing the near-field radiative heat transfer in both the p and s polarizations with the radii of 0.65 μm, and Mie-metamaterials are shown for the first time to modulate heat flux within sub-milliseconds.
