Optical Properties and Applications of Nanoparticles

28

Plasmon Absorbance - Background

• Surface Plasmon (SP): Coherent oscillation in e-density at the metal and dielectric interface when e-field (of incident light) forces loosely held conduction electrons to move with the field

• Plasmon Absorbance: absorption of EM radiation of SP at a particular energy

29

Plasmon Absorbance - Factors

• Surface functionality, temperature, and the solvent

• Particle concentration and particle size

Drug TargetingGene Transfection

Both are methods of delivery using magnetic fields.

Magnetic particles with the appropriate ligands attached are injected into the body and manipulated to the positions where they will be activated using magnetic fields.

At this point, the gene/drug will be taken up by the cell and act as it is supposed to (depending on the application)

Often used in conjunction with MFH (mag. fluid hyperthermia)

Magnetic Recording MediaEach nickel “column” has dimensions on the order of 170 nmdiameter, 200 nm high and 2 m apart. This leads to a particledensity below that of today’s hard drives (by approximatelya factor of 10), however, it demonstrates that other methods for data storage are feasible.

This method can be used with current read/write heads

67

Magnetic Recording Media

• Current methods of recording are proprietary (i.e. very little information about how they work is available)

• Theoretical density limit for data storage is on the order of 100 Gbits/in2

• Theoretical density limit for reliable data storage is only on the order of 40 Gbits/in2

Nanomotors/Generators using Ferrofluids

• Currently, few applications explored (mostly theoretical)

• Paradoxical results– below a critical magnetic field strength,

ferrofluids move opposite an AC field.– Fluid viscosity is dependent on the field

•Different molecules adsorb differently on the two surfaces; i.e. there are different types of active sites.

Rings…

Stone, H. A.; Shmuylovich, L.; Shen, A. Q. Langmuir 2002, 18, 3441-3445.

Rings form as the contact line between the liquid and dry substrate undergoes pinning and de-pinning cycles, while mass transport occurs toward the boundary (rate of evaporation highest at edge). Particles build-up at the interface during each pinning cycle so that rings are left when the liquid dries.

80

Pinning and De-pinning


Where a particle adheres to the surface a pinning event takes place. Mass transfer builds-up particles at this pinning site until there are no more particles in the vicinity of the edge. At this point, the contact line becomes de-pinned, and will move back until there is another adhered particle. This mechanism leads to the formation of rings when a polymer nanoparticle is left to dry on a glass slide.

81

Ordering in Rings


Mass transfer during a pinning event drives ordering in ring-forming systems such that a closest-packed layer of particles forms.
