Mesoporous silica thin films were fabricated on gold substrates with a sol-gel method including a cationic surfactant. The interface of gold and silica thin films was fixed with a mercaptosilane. The surface roughness of the thin films and their grain sizes of silica were both increased with the elimination of the cationic surfactant and polyethylene glycol (PEG) modification on its surface. The surface reaction, adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA), was monitored with surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Although the adsorption amount of BSA at 1 mg/mL were 7.9 ng/cm2 on the mesoporous silica, the PEG modification can completely desorb BSA. The mesoporous silica thin films on gold substrates fabricated will be a good platform for analyzing surface reaction.

Magneto-optic ellipsometry in the longitudinal Kerr configuration was performed to determine the complex permittivity tensor of the Co and SmCo thin films within the spectral range from 400nm to 1000nm. The Co film was a middle layer in a Au/Co/Au trilayer structure. Magneto-optical response was analyzed in terms of Mueller matrix elements. Reduced magneto-optical response of the Co layer is explained by influence of the gold top layer of the trilayer structure. Full Text: PDF ReferencesM.
