Abstract Multi-metallic alloy nanoparticles (NPs) can offer a promising route for the integration of multi-functional elements by the adaptation of advantageous individual NP properties and thus can exhibit the multi-functional dynamic properties arisen from the electronic heterogeneity as well as configurational diversity. The integration of Pt-based metallic alloy NPs are imperative in the catalytic, sensing, and energy applications; however, it usually suffers from the difficulty in the fabrication of morphologically well-structured and elementally well-alloyed NPs, which yields poor plasmonic responses. In this work, the improved morphological and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties of fully alloyed bimetallic AgPt and monometallic Pt NPs are demonstrated on sapphire (0001) via the one-step solid-state dewetting (SSD) of the Ag/Pt bilayers. In a sharp contrast to the previous studies of pure Pt NPs, the surface morphology of the resulting AgPt and Pt NPs in this work are significantly improved such that they possess larger size, increased interparticle gaps, and improved uniformity. The intermixing of Ag and Pt atoms, AgPt alloy formation, and concurrent sublimation of Ag atoms plays the major roles in the fabrication of bimetallic AgPt and monometallic Pt NPs along with the enhanced global diffusion and energy minimization of NP system. The fabricated AgPt and Pt NPs show much-enhanced LSPR responses as compared to the pure Pt NPs in the previous studies, and the excitation of dipolar, quadrupolar, multipolar and higher-order resonance modes is realized depending upon the size, configuration, and elemental compositions. The LSPR peaks demonstrate drastic alteration along with the evolution of AgPt and Pt NPs, i.e., the resonance peaks are shifted and enhanced by the variation of size and Ag content.

AbstractLocalized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) was performed in the deep ultraviolet (UVC) region with Al nanohemisphere structures fabricated by means of a simple method using a combination of vapor deposition, sputtering, and thermal annealing without top-down nanofabrication technology such as electron beam lithography. The LSPR in the UV region was obtained and tuned by the initial metal film thickness, annealing temperature, and dielectric spacer layer thickness. Moreover, we achieved a flexible tuning of the LSPR in a much deeper UVC region below 200 nm using a nanohemisphere on a mirror (NHoM) structure. NHoM is a structure in which a metal nanohemisphere is formed on a metal substrate that is interposed with an Al2O3 thin film layer. In the experimental validation, Al and Ga were used for the metal hemispheres. The LSPR spectrum of the NHoM structures was split into two peaks, and the peak intensities were enhanced and sharpened. The shorter branch of the LSPR peak appeared in the UVC region below 200 nm. Both the peak intensities and linewidth were flexibly tuned by the spacer thickness. This structure can contribute to new developments in the field of deep UV plasmonics.

AbstractA simple optical fiber sensor based on localized surface plasmon resonance was constructed for direct and rapid measurement of thyroglobulin (Tg). Specific tests for Tg in patients that have undergone thyroidectomy are limited because of insufficient sensitivity, complicated procedures, and in some cases, a long time to yield a result. A sensitive, fast, and simple method is necessary to relieve the psychological and physical burden of the patient. Various concentrations of Tg were measured in a microfluidic channel using an optical fiber sensor with gold nanoparticles. The sensor chip has a detection limit of 93.11 fg/mL with no specificity for other antigens. The potential applicability of the Tg sensing system was evaluated using arbitrary samples containing specific concentrations of Tg. Finally, the sensor can be employed to detect Tg in the patient’s serum, with a good correlation when compared with the commercial kit.
