  • 흡광은 측정이 간편하고 해석의 직관성이 높다는 점에서 생화학 기반 분석법의 신호로서 강점을 가진다. 흡광을 가지는 물질 중에서 금 나노입자는 화학적 안정성, 생물학적 친화성, 가시광선 범위에서 야기되는 국소 표면 플라즈몬 공명(localized surface plasmon resonance, LSPR)에 의한 독특한 광학적 특성 등의 유용한 성질을 지니며, 특정 표적 물질에만 유효한 다른 발색물질과 비교해 항체나 압타머 등 다양한 검출 활성물질과 접합이 용이하여 확장성을 가진다. 특히, 기질의 산화로 발색을 야기하는 효소 기반 발색법에 비해 낮은 가격, 쉬운 입자 합성, 높은 환경안정성 등의 장점으로 인해 비색화 분석법의 신호물질로서 광범위하게 연구되고 있다. 본 총설에서는 이와 같은 금 나노입자를 신호물질로 활용하는 다양한 전략을 최근의 연구들을 중심으로 요약 정리하였으며, 입자의 형태에 광학 특성이 영향을 받는 금 나노입자의 특징에 착안하여 신호생성 시에 활용한 금 나노입자의 형태 제어 전략을 기준으로 문헌들을 분류하고 검토하였다. 이를 통해 이미 오랜 기간 활용되어온 금 나노입자가 현재에도 흡광 신호물질로서 여전히 활발하게 연구되고 있다는 사실을 고찰하고, 향후에도 광범위하고 지속적으로 개선될 여지를 가진다는 점을 확인하였다.

  • Label-free biomolecular assay based localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of noble metal nanoparticles enables simple and rapid detection with the use of simple equipment. Nanosized metal nanoparticles exhibit a strong absorption band when the incident light frequency is resonant with the collective oscillation of the electrons, which is known as the LSPR. Here we demonstrate localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) substrates such as plasmonic Au nanodisks fabricated by a nanoimprinting process and gold nanorod-immobilized surfaces and their applications to highly sensitive and/or label-free biosensing. To increase detection sensitivity various bioreceptors weree designed. A single chain variable fragment (scFv) was used as a receptor to bind C-reactive protein (CRP). The results of this effort showed that CRP in human serum could be quantitatively detected lower than 1 ng/ml. Aptamers, which were immobilized on gold nanorods, were used to detect mycotoxins. The specific binding of ochratoxin A (OTA) to the aptamer was monitored by the longitudinal wavelength shift of LSPR peak in the UV-Vis spectra resulting from the changes of local refractive index near the GNR surface induced by accumulation of OTA and G-quadruplex structure formation of the aptamer. According to our results, OTA could be quantitatively detected lower than 1 nM level. Additionally, aptamer-functionalized GNR substrate was quite robust and can be regenerated many times by rinsing at 70 OC to remove bound target. During seven times of washing steps, the developed OTA sensing system could be reusable. Moreover, the proposed biosensor exhibited selectivity over other mycotoxins with an excellent recovery for detection in grinded corn samples, suggesting that the proposed LSPR based aptasensor plays an important role in label-free detection of mycotoxins.

  • Two dimensional (2D) arrays of noble metal nanoparticles are widely used in the sensing of nanoscale biological and chemical events. Research in this area has sparked considerable interest in many fields owing to the novel optical properties, e.g., the localized surface plasmon resonance, of these metallic nanoarrays. In this paper, we report successes in fabricating 2D arrays of gold nano-islands using nanosphere lithography. The reproducibility and the effectiveness of the nano-patterning method are tested by means of spin coating and capillary force deposition. We found that the capillary force deposition method was more effective for nanospheres with diameters greater than 600 nm, whereas the spin coating method works better for nanospheres with diameters less than 600 nm. The optimal deposition parameters for both methods were reported, showing about 80% reproducibility. In addition, we characterize gold nano-island arrays both geometrically with AFM as well as optically with UV-VIS spectrometry. The AFM images revealed that the obtained nano-arrays formed a hexagonal pattern of truncated tetrahedron nano-islands. The experimental and theoretical values of the geometric parameters were compared. The 2D gold nano-arrays showed strong LSPR in the absorption spectra. As the nano-islands increased in size, the LSPR absorption bands became red-shifted. Linear dependence of the plasmon absorption maximum on the size of the gold nano-islands was identified through the increment in the plasmon absorption maximum rate for a one nanometer increase in the characteristic length of the nano-islands. We found that the 2D gold nano-arrays showed nearly seven-fold higher sensitivity of the absorption spectrum to the size of the nano-islands as compared to colloidal gold nano-particles.

  • In this study, closely spaced Au nanoparticles which are arranged in nanocluster (heptamer) configurations have been employed to design efficient plasmonic subwavelength devices to function at the telecommunication spectrum (${\lambda}$~1550 nm). Utilizing two kinds of nanoparticles, the optical properties of heptamer clusters composed of Au rod and shell particles that are oriented in triphenylene molecular fashion have been investigated numerically, and the cross-sectional profiles of the scattering and absorption of the optical power have been calculated based on a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Plasmon hybridization theory has been utilized as a theoretical approach to characterize the features and properties of the adjacent and mutual heptamer clusters. Using these given nanostructures, we designed a complex four-branch ($1{\times}4$) Y-shape splitter that is able to work at the near infrared region (NIR). This splitter divides and transmits the magnetic plasmon mode along the mutual heptamers arrays. Besides, as an important and crucial parameter, we studied the impact of arm spacing (offset distance) on the guiding and dividing of the magnetic plasmon resonance propagation and by calculating the ratio of transported power in both nanorod and nanoshell-based structures. Finally, we have presented the optimal structure, that is the four-branch Y-splitter based on shell heptamers which yields the power ratio of 23.9% at each branch, 4.4 ${\mu}m$ decaying length, and 1450 nm offset distance. These results pave the way toward the use of nanoparticles clusters in molecular fashions in designing various efficient devices that are able to be efficient at NIR.

  • Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is classified into the propagating surface plasmon (PSP) excited on flat metal surfaces and the local surface plasmon (LSP) excited by metalnanoparticles. It is known that fluorescence signals are enhanced by these two SPR-fields.On the other hand, fluorescence is quenched by the energy transfer to metal (FRET). Bothphenomena are controlled by the distance between dyes and metals, and the degree offluorescence enhancement is determined by the correlation. In this study, we determined thecondition to achieve the maximum fluorescence enhancement by adjusting the distance of ametal nanoparticle 2D sheet and a quantum dots 2D sheet by the use of $SiO_2$ spacer layers. The 2D sheets consisting of myristate-capped Ag nanoparticles (AgMy nanosheets) wereprepared at the air-water interface and transferred onto hydrophobized gold thin films basedon the Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) method [1]. The $SiO_2$ sputtered films with different thickness (0~100 nm) were deposited on the AgMy nanosheet as an insulator. TOPO-cappedCdSe/CdZnS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs, ${\lambda}Ex=638nm$) [2] were also transferred onto the $SiO_2$ films by the LS method. The layered structure is schematically shown in Fig. 1. The result of fluorescence measurement is shown in Fig. 2. Without the $SiO_2$ layer, the fluorescence intensity of the layered QD film was lower than that of the original QDs layer, i.e., the quenching by FRET was predominant. When the $SiO_2$ thickness was increased, the fluorescence intensity of the layered QD film was higher than that of the original QDs layer, i.e., the SPR enhancement was predominant. The fluorescence intensity was maximal at the $SiO_2$ thickness of 20 nm, particularly when the LSPR absorption wavelength (${\lambda}=480nm$) was utilized for the excitation. This plasmonic nanosheet can be integrated intogreen or bio-devices as the creation point ofenhanced LSPR field.

  • 본 논문에서는 플라즈모닉 코어와 자성 쉘로 구성된 $Ag@Fe_3O_4$ 나노입자의 흥미로운 광학적 특성에 대해 연구를 하였다. 기존의 60 nm의 지름을 갖는 은 나노입자의 표면에 높은 굴절률을 갖는 $Fe_3O_4$ 쉘이 형성됨에 따라 국소 표면 플라즈몬 공명(Localized surface plasmon resonance; LSPR) 파장이 420 nm에서 650 nm로 이동하는 red-shift 현상을 관찰 할 수 있었고, 또한, 세 가지 시뮬레이션 모델들 ($Ag@Fe_3O_4$ 나노입자, $Fe_3O_4$ 쉘 나노입자, 은 나노입자)을 통해서 410 nm 파장의 peak이 60 nm의 두께를 가진 $Fe_3O_4$ 쉘에 의해 발생하는 산란이 주된 원인이라는 것을 규명하였다. 이 결과는 비슷한 종류의 나노입자를 이용한 추후 다양하고 복잡한 나노어셈블리의 광학적 현상을 이해하는데 사용될 것이다.

  • 물에 잔존하는 유기오염물질이 인체 및 환경에 미치는 악영향을 해결하기 위한 방법으로 오염물질을 친환경적으로 분해할 수 있는 광촉매 기술이 대두되고 있다. 대표적인 광촉매 물질로 TiO2 입자가 사용되고 있지만 비싼 가격으로 인해 이를 대체하고자 하는 노력이 지속적으로 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 노력의 일환으로 미세유체공정을 사용하여 보다 가격경쟁력이 우수한 ZnO입자를 합성하였다. ZnO의 넓은 밴드갭으로 인해 촉매활성이 제한되는 단점을 해결하고자 동일 공정을 사용하여 은(Ag) 나노입자를 ZnO 표면에 증착하여 Ag-ZnO 나노복합체를 생산하였다. 다양한 분석법을 사용하여 나노복합체의 형상, 구조, 및 성분 분석을 진행한 결과 고품질의 Ag-ZnO 나노복합체가 합성됨을 확인했으며, 메틸렌블루 분해 실험을 통해서 광촉매 활성을 측정하였다. Ag-ZnO 나노복합체의 플라스몬 효과와 광반응에 의해 생성된 전자와 정공의 분리 효과에 의해 광촉매 활성 효율이 순수한 ZnO 입자와 비교하여 향상되었음을 확인하였다. Microreactor-assisted nanomaterials (MAN) 공정 기반의 나노복합체는 가격경쟁력이 우수하고 공정이 용이하다는 장점이 있기에 나노복합체 광촉매를 대량 생산하기 위한 잠재력이 우수하다고 사료된다.
