We present a novel plasmonic hydrogen sensor consisting of an array of gold nanodisks produced by lithography. The size, height, and spacing of the disks were optimized using finite element simulation to generate a sharp localized surface plasmon resonance peak in the near-infrared wavelength region. The reported results show the possibility of developing an optical gas sensors-based bare Au nanostructures operating at a low temperature.

AbstractSuccessful disintegration of Chlorpyrifos pesticide by nearly monodisperse nano-gold photcatalyst (∼10 nm) for remediation of wastewater has been reported in current studies. Nano-Gold dispersion reaction with Chlorpyrifos solutions completes in 45 minutes at ambient temperature under the normal daylight and exhibit systematic variations in the solution color from wine red to pink to light sky blue and finally transforming into a transparent solution with fine precipitates. UV-Vis absorption studies correlates well with the systematic color changes as observed in the nano-gold treated Chlorpyrifos solutions with time. The characteristic localized surface plasmon resonance peak of nanogold dispersion observed at 529 nm red shifts to weak, medium and strong intensity peaks at ∼ 640 nm, 740 nm and 890 nm on increasing chlorpyrifos concentration owing to the aggregation of gold nanoparticles in small to bigger sized clusters. The fine turbidity in final transparent solution further confirms the aggregation of nanogold particles into stable bigger ensembles. IR transmission spectra of final transparent solutions showed disappearance of Chlorpyrifos νC-Cl and phosphorothioate functional group peaks indicating degradation of chlorpyrifos.

Broadband metamaterial absorbers (MAs) are critical for applications of photonic and optoelectronic devices. Despite long-standing efforts on broadband MAs, it has been challenging to achieve ultrabroadband absorption with high absorptivity and omnidirectional characteristics within a comparatively simple and low-cost architecture. Here we design, fabricate, and characterize a novel compact Cr-based MA to achieve ultrabroadband absorption in the visible to near-infrared wavelength region. The Cr-based MA consists of Cr nanorods and Cr substrate sandwiched by three pairs of SiO2/Cr stacks. Both simulated and experimental results show that an average absorption over 93.7% can be achieved in the range of 400–1000 nm. Specifically, the ultrabroadband features result from the co-excitations of localized surface plasmon (LSP) and propagating surface plasmon (PSP) and their synergistic absorption effects, where absorption in the shorter and longer wavelengths are mainly contributed bythe LSP and PSP modes, respectively. The Cr-based MA is very robust to variations of the geometrical parameters, and angle-and polarization-insensitive absorption can be operated well over a large range of anglesunder both transverse magnetic(TM)- and transverse electric (TE)-polarized light illumination.

ABSTRACTThe favorable lattice matching between Au and NiO crystals made possible the growth of unique cookie-like nanoparticles (25 nm mean diameter) inside a porous SiO2 film after annealing at 700 °C. The unusual aggregates result from the coupling of well distinguishable Au and NiO hemispheres, which respectively face each other through the (100) and (200) lattice planes. The thermal evolution of the Au and NiO nanoparticles structure has been studied by high resolution transmission electron microscopy and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and correlated with the evolution of the Au surface plasmon resonance peak.

Hydrogen Sensing

In this study, I prepared BK7 glass slides coated by palladium (Pd) layer by PVD technique. These samples have been employed as plasmon active structures in classic Kretschmann-based SPR set-up. The application of H2 sensing structures based on palladium plasmonic active thin films have been tested and investigated. Hydrogen sensing properties of Pd films were investigated at room temperature The reflectances of p-polarized light from Pd thin films as a function of angle of incidence and wavelength were measured in synthetic air (or nitrogen) and in gas mixtures including hydrogen. Variations of the reflectance in the presence of hydrogen gas at room temperature revealed that the samples can sense hydrogen in a wide range of concentration (0–2% vol/vol) without saturation behavior. The dynamic properties with various concentration of H2 at low temperature and dry gas mixtures was investigated and the effects of these factors on the hydrogen sensing properties were analyzed.
