The cost‐effective self‐assembly of 80 nm Au nanoparticles (NPs) into large‐domain, hexagonally close‐packed arrays for high‐sensitivity and high‐fidelity surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is demonstrated. These arrays exhibit specific optical resonances due to strong interparticle coupling, which are well reproduced by finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) simulations. The gaps between NPs form a regular lattice of hot spots that enable a large amplification of both photoluminescence and Raman signals. At smaller wavelengths the hot spots are extended away from the minimum‐gap positions, which allows SERS of larger analytes that do not fit into small gaps. Using CdSe quantum dots (QDs) a 3–5 times larger photoluminescence enhancement than previously reported is experimentally demonstrated and an unambiguous estimate of the electromagnetic SERS enhancement factor of ≈104 is obtained by direct scanning electron microscopy imaging of QDs responsible for the Raman signal. Much stronger enhancement of ≈108 is obtained at larger wavelengths for benzenethiol molecules penetrating the NP gaps. 相似文献

Plasmon resonance energy transfer (PRET) from a single metallic nanoparticle to the molecules adsorbed on its surface has attracted more and more attentions in recent years. Here, a molecular beacon (MB)‐regulated PRET coupling system composed of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and chromophore molecules has been designed to study the influence of PRET effect on the scattering spectra of GNPs. In this system, the chromophore molecules are tagged to the 5′‐end of MB, which can form a hairpin structure and modified on the surface of GNPs by its thiol‐labeled 3′‐end. Therefore, the distance between GNPs and chromophore molecules can be adjusted through the open and close of the MB loop. From the peak shift, the PRET interactions of different GNPs‐chromophore molecules coupling pairs have been calculated by discrete dipole approximation and the fitting results match well with the experimental data. Therefore, the proposed system has been successfully applied for the analysis of PRET situation between various metallic nanoparticles and chromophore molecules, and provides a useful tool for the potential application in screening the PRET‐based nanoplasmonic sensors. 相似文献

A quantitative understanding of the localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) of metallic nanostructures has received tremendous interest. However, most of the current studies are concentrated on theoretical calculation due to the difficulty in experimentally obtaining monodisperse discrete metallic nanostructures with high purity. In this work, endeavors to assemble symmetric and asymmetric gold nanoparticle (AuNP) dimer structures with exceptional purity are reported using a DNA self‐assembly strategy through a one‐step gel electrophoresis, which greatly facilitates the preparation process and improves the final purity. In the obtained Au nanodimers, the sizes of AuNPs (13, 20, and 40 nm) and the interparticle distances (5, 10, and 15 nm) are tunable. The size‐ and distance‐dependent plasmon coupling of ensembles of single, isolated dimers in solution are subsequently investigated. The experimental measurements are correlated with the modeled plasmon optical properties of Au nanodimers, showing an expected resonance shift with changing particle sizes and interparticle distances. This new strategy of constructing monodisperse metallic nanodimers will be helpful for building more complicated nanostructures, and our theoretical and experimental understanding of the intrinsic dependence of plasmon property of metallic nanodimer on the sizes and interparticle distances will benefit the future investigation and exploitation of near‐field plasmonic properties. 相似文献

Divalent DNA-AuNP (gold nanoparticle) conjugates comprising two DNA strands at diametrically opposed positions are prepared. Highly linear 1D and tetragonal lattice-like 2D AuNP arrays are constructed using the conjugates and DNA assemblies based on T- and double-crossover motifs and the Holliday junction. 相似文献

Robust synthesis of large‐scale self‐assembled nanostructures with long‐range organization and a prominent response to external stimuli is critical to their application in functional plasmonics. Here, the first example of a material made of liquid crystalline nanoparticles which exhibits UV‐light responsive surface plasmon resonance in a condensed state is presented. To obtain the material, metal cores are grafted with two types of organic ligands. A promesogenic derivative softens the system and induces rich liquid crystal phase polymorphism. Second, an azobenzene derivative endows nanoparticles with photoresponsive properties. It is shown that nanoparticles covered with a mixture of these ligands assemble into long‐range ordered structures which exhibit a novel dual‐responsivity. The structure and plasmonic properties of the assemblies can be controlled by a change in temperature as well as by UV‐light irradiation. These results present an efficient way to obtain bulk quantities of self‐assembled nanostructured materials with stability that is unattainable by alternative methods such as matrix‐assisted or DNA‐mediated organization. 相似文献

This article describes a novel supramolecular assembly‐mediated strategy for the organization of Au nanoparticles (NPs) with different shapes (e.g., spheres, rods, and cubes) into large‐area, free‐standing 2D and 3D superlattices. This robust approach involves two major steps: (i) the organization of polymer‐tethered NPs within the assemblies of supramolecular comblike block copolymers (CBCPs), and (ii) the disassembly of the assembled CBCP structures to produce free‐standing NP superlattices. It is demonstrated that the crystal structures and lattice constants of the superlattices can be readily tailored by varying the molecular weight of tethered polymers, the volume fraction of NPs, and the matrix of CBCPs. This template‐free approach may open a new avenue for the assembly of NPs into 2D and 3D structures with a wide range of potential applications. 相似文献

The synthesis of 3D self-assembled plasmonic superstructures of gold nanospheres as well as the characterization of their structural and optical properties at the single-particle level is presented. This experimental work is complemented by FEM (finite element method) simulations of elastic scattering spectra and the spatial |E|(4) distribution for establishing structure-activity correlations in these complex 3D nanoclusters. 相似文献

In nature, cells self‐assemble at the microscale into complex functional configurations. This mechanism is increasingly exploited to assemble biofidelic biological systems in vitro. However, precise coding of 3D multicellular living materials is challenging due to their architectural complexity and spatiotemporal heterogeneity. Therefore, there is an unmet need for an effective assembly method with deterministic control on the biomanufacturing of functional living systems, which can be used to model physiological and pathological behavior. Here, a universal system is presented for 3D assembly and coding of cells into complex living architectures. In this system, a gadolinium‐based nonionic paramagnetic agent is used in conjunction with magnetic fields to levitate and assemble cells. Thus, living materials are fabricated with controlled geometry and organization and imaged in situ in real time, preserving viability and functional properties. The developed method provides an innovative direction to monitor and guide the reconfigurability of living materials temporally and spatially in 3D, which can enable the study of transient biological mechanisms. This platform offers broad applications in numerous fields, such as 3D bioprinting and bottom‐up tissue engineering, as well as drug discovery, developmental biology, neuroscience, and cancer research. 相似文献

A vast majority of existing sub‐millimeter‐scale sensors have a planar, 2D geometry as a result of conventional top‐down lithographic procedures. However, 2D sensors often suffer from restricted sensing capability, allowing only partial measurements of 3D quantities. Here, nano/microscale sensors with different geometric (1D, 2D, and 3D) configurations are reviewed to introduce their advantages and limitations when sensing changes in quantities in 3D space. This Review categorizes sensors based on their geometric configuration and sensing capabilities. Among the sensors reviewed here, the 3D configuration sensors defined on polyhedral structures are especially advantageous when sensing spatially distributed 3D quantities. The nano‐ and microscale vertex configuration forming polyhedral structures enable full 3D spatial sensing due to orthogonally aligned sensing elements. Particularly, the cubic configuration leveraged in 3D sensors offers an array of diverse applications in the field of biosensing for micro‐organisms and proteins, optical metamaterials for invisibility cloaking, 3D imaging, and low‐power remote sensing of position and angular momentum for use in microbots. Here, various 3D sensors are compared to assess the advantages of their geometry and its impact on sensing mechanisms. 3D biosensors in nature are also explored to provide vital clues for the development of novel 3D sensors. 相似文献
