주사탐침현미경 (Scanning Probe Microsope, SPM)을 이용하여 직접 패터닝을 함으로써 hexanedithiol 분자의 임의 패턴을 금 표면에 형성하였다. 또한, hexanedithiol 분자는 양단에 thiol 그룹이 존재하여 금과 안정화 화학결합을 이룰 수 있으므로, 금 표면과결합을 이루고 있지 않는 상단의 thiol 그룹에 금 나노 입자를 고정함으로써 나노입자의 패턴을 제작하였다. SPM을 이용한 직접 패터닝 방법은 분자활성을 유지한 채로 임의 패턴을 수십 nm의 선폭으로 구현하는 것이 가능하므로, 나노입자 배열뿐만 아니라, 생화학물질의 패터닝을 통한 바이오 기술연구, 레지스트용 분자 패터닝과 시각 및 흡착 등의 계속적인 공정을 통한 다양한 나노구조 제작 등에 폭넓게 활용될 수 있다.

Mie theory has been used to calculate the extinction of a gold nanoparticle in water by varying its diameter from 1 to 1000 nm. Utilizing this size-dependent theoretical spectrum, we have calculated the extinction spectrum of a colloidal gold by taking into account the size distribution of particle. Such calculation is in better agreement with experiment than the calculation without considering the size distribution. A least-squares fitting is used to deduce the size distribution from an experimental extinction spectrum. For particles with their diameters ranging from 10 to 28 nanometers, the fitting gives reasonable agreement with the size distribution obtained from tunneling electron microscope images.

금속 나노 입자는 국소 표면 플라즈몬(Localized Surface Plasmon, LSP)이 여기 되며 이의 국부 환경 변화에 대한 민감한 의존성으로 인하여 생화학적 센서로의 응용이 크게 주목 받고 있다. LSP는 금속 나노 입자의 재료, 모양, 크기 그리고 주변 환경 변화에 민감하게 의존한다는 것이 알려져 있다. 금속 나노 입자를 소자로 응용하기 위해서는 일반적으로 기판을 사용하게 되며 이때 기판의 재료적 특성이 LSP에 서로 다른 영향을 준다. 기판은 재료의 광학적인 특성에 따라 유전체, 반도체 그리고 금속으로 분류할 수 있다. 유전체와 반도체 기판과는 다르게, 금속 기판은 표면의 자유전자가 금속 나노 입자에 구속된 자유전자와 반응하여 추가적인 플라즈몬모드를 형성한다. 이번 연구에서는 금속 기판 위에 지름이 100 nm인 콜로이드 금을 분산시킨 후 광산란 신호를 검출하고 금속 기판이 LSP에 미치는 영향을 하부금속 금속층 물질 및 두께의 함수로 하여 분석하였다. 또한, 콜로이드 금 주변의 굴절률 변화에 대한 반응도를 분석하여 센서로서 특성을 평가하였다.

Some supported gold catalysts were prepared by impregnation and coprecipitation methods. Effect of gold addition and active sloe formation were studied by investigating particle sizes of gold, amounts of oxygen adsorbed, adsorption properties of CO and NO, and reduction and oxidation properties, etc.. The gold particles of the catalyst by impregnation were irregular and very large as 30~100 nm, but those by coprecipitation were uniform and ultra-fine as about 4 nm. On $Au/Al_2O_3$ catalyst, the addition of gold to inactive $Al_2O_3$ caused the decomposition of $N_2O$, and CO was not irreversibly adsorbed while $O_2$ was atomically and irreversibly adsorbed. The adsorption sites of oxygen were attributed to the active sites which were restricted to the circumference of hemispherical gold particle-support interface rather than all atoms on the surface of gold particle. Also, CO was reversibly and irreversibly adsorbed on $Al_2O_3$ at low temperature, and the addition of gold weakened both reversible and irreversible adsorptions. The affinity for CO on $Au/Co_3O_4$ catalyst decreased conspicuously compared to $Co_3O_4$. The effect of gold addition did not appear in reduction step but did remarkably in reoxidation step; the added gold promoted the reoxidation of the reduced cobalt atoms.

By using the discrete-dipole approximation, we computed the extinction spectrum of a gold-silver alloy nanoparticle. We have examined how the surface plasmon resonance changes with respect to the variation in the composition of the alloy particle. As the fraction of silver increases for a 10nm particle, the peak position of the extinction spectrum blue-shifts linearly. The intensity of the peak however increases exponentially with increasing the silver fraction. These results are in accord with the previous experimental results.

초전도 전력 기기를 안정적으로 운용하기 위해서는 고자장하에서 높은 임계 전류 밀도($J_c$)를 지닌 초전도체 개발이 필수적이다. 최근 고자기장에서 전기적 특성을 향상시키는 방법으로는 YBCO 박막선재에 인위적 피닝센터로 고자장하에서도 $J_c$가 크게 증가 되었다고 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 STO(100) 기판 위에 SAM 방법을 이용하여 금 나노분말을 분산시킨 후 PLD로 YBCO 박막을 증착하여 미세구조와 전기적인 특성을 분석하였다. 분산된 금 나노분말은 열처리전 나노입자의 높이는 29~32 nm, 지름은 41~49 nm툴 나타내었고 $800^{\circ}C$에서 진공 열처리 후에는 높이는 25~30 nm, 지름은 52~60 nm로 변형되었다. 임계온도는 순수 YBCO에서 85 K을 나타냈지만 금 나노입자를 적용한 YBCO의 경우는 80K으로 낮아진 것을 확인하였다. 임계전류밀도는 4T에서 측정된 경우 65 K에서는 순수한 YBCO는 141 KA/$cm^2$에서 금 나노입자가 형성된 기판에 증착한 YBCO는 42 KA/$cm^2$로 낮아졌다.

The photothermal therapy is a method of cell ablation using the heat converted from the incident light by photothermal transducers. It offers a selective treatment to desired abnormal cells, in particular, tumor tissues. Among various photothermal agents, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have received enormous attention due to their unique physicochemical property over last two decades. In this review, we address research strategies and methods to improve treatment efficacy by organizing recent research works. We mainly focus on research works to enhance light-to-heat conversion via optimizing the morphology of Au NPs and related assemblies as well as the strategies to deliver Au NPs efficiently to specific targets. We also introduce convergence research efforts to combine Au NP-mediated photothermal treatment and other functions such as diagnostic capabilities and other therapeutic methods.

In this study, we studied a facile method for the synthesis of stable and nearly spherical gold nanoparticles using a tyrosine-rich peptide, Tyr-Tyr-Gly-Tyr-Tyr (YYGYY), as both the reducing and capping agent. The peptide coated spherical and polycrystalline gold nanoparticles with diameters from 3 to 15 nm were successfully synthesized by varying the concentration of the peptide and metal precursor under UV irradiation. The nanoparticles were then characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (STEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles was confirmed by the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol, in which the catalytic reaction rate constant was 7.3 × 10-3 s-1.

Light absorption has potential as a signal in biochemical analyses due to its simplicity in measurement and interpretational clarity. Among substances that generate absorption signals, gold nanoparticles possess advantages such as chemical stability, biological compatibility, and unique optical properties from the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in the visible light range. They also exhibit versatility compared to other colorimetric substances effective only for specific target molecules, as they easily conjugate with various detection active substances like antibodies and aptamers. Particularly due to advantages such as low cost, ease of particle synthesis, and high environmental stability compared to enzyme-based colorimetric methods, gold nanoparticles are extensively researched as signal substances in colorimetric assays. This review summarizes various strategies utilizing gold nanoparticles as absorption signal substances, focusing on recent research. Based on the characteristics of gold nanoparticles, where the optical property is influenced by particle morphology, literature is classified and reviewed based on strategies controlling the shape of gold nanoparticles during signal generation. Through this, it is observed that gold nanoparticles, which have been used as absorption signal substances, continue to be actively researched, affirming their potential for broad and continuous improvement in the future.
