Currently, the researches on MSL have focused on the corresponding relation search between two surfaces, the performance improvement of localization algorithms and the uncertainty analysis of localization. However, low efficiency, limitation of localization algo- rithms and mismatch of multiple similarities of feature points with no prior are the common disadvantages for MSL. In order to match feature points quickly and fulfill MSL efficiently, this paper presents a new localization approach for measured surfaces by extracting the generic umbilics and estimating their single complex variables, describing the match methods of ambiguous relation at umbilics, presenting the initial localization process of one pair matched points, refining MSL on the basis of obtained closet points for some measured points by the improvement directed projection method. In addition, the proposed algorithm is simulated in two different types of surfaces,two different localization types and multiple similar sur- faces, also tested with the part of B-spline surface machined and bottle mould with no knowledge, finally the initial and accurate rigid body transformation matrix, localization errors between two surfaces and execution time are got. The experimental results show that the pro- posed method is feasible, more accurate in localization and high in efficiency. The proposed research can not only improve the accuracy and performance of form error assessment, but also provide an effective guideline for the integration of different types of measured surfaces.展开更多

In the past decades, noble metal nanoparticles (Au and Ag) with LSPR feature have found wide applications in solar energy conversion. Numerous metal-based photocatalysts have been proposed including metal/semiconductor heterostructures and plasmonic bimetallic or multimetallic nanostructures. However, high cost and scarce reserve of noble metals largely limit their further practical use, which drives the focus gradually shift to low-cost and abundant nonmetallic nanostructures. Recently, various heavily doped semiconductors (such as WO_(3-x), MoO_(3-x), Cu_(2-x)S, TiN) have emerged as potential alternatives to costly noble metals for efficient photocatalysis due to their strong LSPR property in visible-near infrared region. This review starts with a brief introduction to LSPR property and LSPR-enhanced photocatalysis, the following highlights recent advances of plasmonic photocatalysts from noble metal to semiconductor-based plasmonic nanostructures.

This method is expressed as follows Firstly, the partial region near contact curvesin both base surfaces is reparameterized. The contact curves are used as the boundaries of thereparameterized partial region respectively. The reparameterized partial region in two base surfacesis called the reparameterized local base surfaces. Then the parametric G^n blending surface isgenerated by a linear combination of the reparameterized local base surface patches depending on oneof the common parameters. Therefore, generating a Parametric G^n Blending Surface between two basesurfaces is translated into generating a Parametric G^n Blending Surface between the tworeparameterized local base surfaces. This paper illustrates the method to generate the G^n blendingsurface with some constraints by generating a G^2 blending surface between the aerofoil and the bodyof a missile with the constraints of the forward and rear fringe curves. When the G^n blendingsurface with some constraints is generated, the partial region near contact curves in both basesurfaces is reparameterized, and the scale factors, offset, balance factor and thumb weight aredefined by meeting the constraints through using an optimization method. Then the parametric G^nblending surface is generated by the linear combination of the reparameterized local base surfacepatches. The shape of the blending surface can be adjusted by changing the size of thereparameterized local base surface patches.展开更多

The sensitivity of the localized surface plasmon sensor is 317 nm/RIU, and the FOM is predicted to be above 8, which is very high for a localized surface plasmon sensor. By employing the rigorous coupled-wave analysis （RCWA） method, we analyze the distribution of the magnetic field and find that the sensing property of our proposed system is attributed to the interactions between the localized surface plasmon around the gold nanostrips and the surface plasmon polarition on the surface of the gold planar metallic film. These findings are important for developing high FOM localized surface plasmon sensors.展开更多

It is found that with the increase of the anisotropic value of the SA layer, the dipole resonance wavelength of the silver nanoshell first increases and then decreases, while the local field factor （LFF） reduces. With the decrease of SA layer thickness, the dipole wavelength of the silver nanoshell shows a distinct blue-shift. When the SA layer becomes very thin, the modulations of the anisotropy of the SA layer on the plasmon resonance energy and the near-field enhancement are weakened. We further find that the smaller anisotropic value of the SA layer is helpful for obtaining the larger near-field enhancement in the Ag nanoshell. The geometric average of the dielectric components of the SA layer has a stronger effect on the plasmon resonance energy of the silver nanoshell than on the near-field enhancement.展开更多

The gold nanoparticles with an average diameter of 55 nm were synthesized via the Turkevich method and were then immobilized onto the surface of an uncladded sensor probe using a polydopamine layer. To obtain a sensor probe with high sensitivity to changes in the refractive index, a set of key optimization parameters, including the sensing length, coating time of the potydopamine layer, and coating time of the gold nanoparticles, were investigated. The sensitivity of the optimized sensor probe was 522.80 nm per refractive index unit, and the probe showed distinctive wavelength shifts when the refractive index was changed from 1.328 6 to 1.398 7. When stored in deionized water at 4 ℃, the sensor probe proved to be stable over a period of two weeks. The sensor also exhibited advantages, such as low cost, fast fabrication, and simple optical setup, which indicated its potential application in remote sensing and real-time detection.展开更多

Based on the quasi-static approximation of Mie theory, the size dependent optical prop- erties of LaB6 nanoparticles were researched, such as refractive index n（ω）, extinction coefficient k（ω）, reflectivity R（ω）, absorption coefficient a（ω）, and electron energy loss L（ω）. Due to the localized surface plasmon resonance （LSPR）, the extinction coefficient k（ω） and absorption coefficient a（ω） depended on the size, and the LSPR peaks red-shifted with sizes increased, which was different from that of bulk materials. In addition, electron energy-loss spectrum L（co） showed electrons oscillation reinforced, since electrons absorbed the photon energy and generated resonance. Further, reftectivity R（ω） and refractive index n（ω） indicated that the light in near infrared region could not be propagated on the surface of LaB6 materials, which exhibited metallic behaviors. So the resonance peak of LaB6 nanoparticle was located in near-infrared region, making use of this property for solar control glazing and heat-shielding application.展开更多

Through boron doping in the LBSF, much higher doping concentration was observed for the B-LBSF over the Al-LBSF. Higher doping concentration in the LBSF is expected to lead to better rear passivation and lower rear contact resistance. Based on one thousand pieces of solar cells for each type, it was found that the rear passivated crystalline silicon solar cells with B-LBSF showed statistical improvement in their photovoltaic properties over those with Al-LBSF.展开更多

For the sandwich sexfoil nanoparticle, the calculated extinction spectrum shows that with the thickness of the dielectric layer increasing, long-wavelength peaks blueshift, while short- wavelength peaks redshift. Strong near-field coupling of the upper and lower metal layers leads to electric and magnetic field resonances; as the thickness increases, the electric field resonance gradually increases, while the magnetic field resonance decreases. The obtained refractive index sensitivity and figure of merit are 332 nm/RIU and 3.91 RIU^-1, respectively. In order to obtain better sensing ability, we further research the LSPR character of monolayer Ag sexfoil nanoparticle. After a series of trials to optimize the thickness and shape, the refractive index sensitivity approximates 668 nm/RIU, and the greatest figure of merit value comes to 14.8 RIU^-1.展开更多

The extinction spectra and the electric field distribution profiles of the two dimers for various gap distances between two individual nanospheres are compared with those of the corresponding monomers to reveal the extent of plasmon coupling. It is found that with the interparticle distance decreasing, a strong plasmon coupling between two Al or Alcore/Al2O3shell nanospheres is observed accompanied by a significant red shift in the extinction spectra at the parallel polarization direction of the incident light related to the dimer axis, while for the case of the perpendicular polarization direction, a weak plasmon coupling arises characterized by a slight blue shift in the extinction spectra. The electric field distribution profiles show that benefiting from the dielectric Al2O3 shell, the gap distance of Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers can be tailored to 〈 1 nm scale and results in a very high electric field enhancement. The estimated surface-enhanced Raman scattering enhancement factors suggests that the Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers with the gap of 〈 1 nm gave rise to an enhancement as high as 8.1 × 10^7 for interparticle gap = 0.5 nm. Our studies reveal that the Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers may be promising substrates for surface-enhanced spectroscopy in the deep-ultraviolet region.展开更多

Thus, the performance of all-optical switching and optical transistors is limited. Herein, we propose a localized surface plasmon(LSP) mode-assisted cavity QED system which consists of a Λ-shaped three-level quantum emitter(QE), a metal nanoparticle and a one-sided optical cavity with a fully reflected mirror. In this system, the QE coherently couples to the cavity and LSP mode respectively, which is manipulated by the control field. As a result, considerably high and stable switch contrast of 90% can be achievable due to the strong confined field of the LSP mode and perfect absorption of the optical medium. In addition, we obtain a power dependent effect between the control field and the transmitted frequency as a result of the converted dark state. We employ the Heisenberg–Langevin equation and numerical master equation formalisms to explain high switching, controllable output light and the dark state. Our system introduces an effective method to improve the performance of optical switches based on the one-sided system in quantum information storage and quantum communication.展开更多

文摘The cluster-shaped plasmonic nanostructures are used to manage the incident light inside an ultra-thin silicon solar cell.Here we simulate spherical,conical,pyramidal,and cylindrical nanoparticles in a form of a cluster at the rear side of a thin silicon cell,using the finite difference time domain(FDTD)method.By calculating the optical absorption and hence the photocurrent,it is shown that the clustering of nanoparticles significantly improves them.The photocurrent enhancement is the result of the plasmonic effects of clustering the nanoparticles.For comparison,first a cell with a single nanoparticle at the rear side is evaluated.Then four smaller nanoparticles are put around it to make a cluster.The photocurrents of 20.478 mA/cm2,23.186 mA/cm2,21.427 mA/cm2,and 21.243 mA/cm2 are obtained for the cells using clustering conical,spherical,pyramidal,cylindrical NPs at the backside,respectively.These values are 13.987 mA/cm2,16.901 mA/cm2,16.507 mA/cm2,17.926 mA/cm2 for the cell with one conical,spherical,pyramidal,cylindrical NPs at the backside,respectively.Therefore,clustering can significantly improve the photocurrents.Finally,the distribution of the electric field and the generation rate for the proposed structures are calculated.

文摘We investigate the sensitivity and figure of merit （FOM） of a localized surface plasmon （LSP） sensor with gold nanograting on the top of planar metallic film. The sensitivity of the localized surface plasmon sensor is 317 nm/RIU, and the FOM is predicted to be above 8, which is very high for a localized surface plasmon sensor. By employing the rigorous coupled-wave analysis （RCWA） method, we analyze the distribution of the magnetic field and find that the sensing property of our proposed system is attributed to the interactions between the localized surface plasmon around the gold nanostrips and the surface plasmon polarition on the surface of the gold planar metallic film. These findings are important for developing high FOM localized surface plasmon sensors.

文摘The influences of the anisotropy of the outer spherically anisotropic （SA） layer on the far-field spectra and near- field enhancements of the silver nanoshells are investigated by using a modified Mie scattering theory. It is found that with the increase of the anisotropic value of the SA layer, the dipole resonance wavelength of the silver nanoshell first increases and then decreases, while the local field factor （LFF） reduces. With the decrease of SA layer thickness, the dipole wavelength of the silver nanoshell shows a distinct blue-shift. When the SA layer becomes very thin, the modulations of the anisotropy of the SA layer on the plasmon resonance energy and the near-field enhancement are weakened. We further find that the smaller anisotropic value of the SA layer is helpful for obtaining the larger near-field enhancement in the Ag nanoshell. The geometric average of the dielectric components of the SA layer has a stronger effect on the plasmon resonance energy of the silver nanoshell than on the near-field enhancement.

文摘A fast and facile method of fabricating fiber-optic localized surface plasmon resonance sensors baseff on spherical gold nanoparticles was introduced in this study. The gold nanoparticles with an average diameter of 55 nm were synthesized via the Turkevich method and were then immobilized onto the surface of an uncladded sensor probe using a polydopamine layer. To obtain a sensor probe with high sensitivity to changes in the refractive index, a set of key optimization parameters, including the sensing length, coating time of the potydopamine layer, and coating time of the gold nanoparticles, were investigated. The sensitivity of the optimized sensor probe was 522.80 nm per refractive index unit, and the probe showed distinctive wavelength shifts when the refractive index was changed from 1.328 6 to 1.398 7. When stored in deionized water at 4 ℃, the sensor probe proved to be stable over a period of two weeks. The sensor also exhibited advantages, such as low cost, fast fabrication, and simple optical setup, which indicated its potential application in remote sensing and real-time detection.

文摘Lanthanum hexaboride nanopartieles, with high emission electrons in cathode materials and peculiar blocking near infrared wavelengths, were applied for many aspects. Based on the quasi-static approximation of Mie theory, the size dependent optical prop- erties of LaB6 nanoparticles were researched, such as refractive index n（ω）, extinction coefficient k（ω）, reflectivity R（ω）, absorption coefficient a（ω）, and electron energy loss L（ω）. Due to the localized surface plasmon resonance （LSPR）, the extinction coefficient k（ω） and absorption coefficient a（ω） depended on the size, and the LSPR peaks red-shifted with sizes increased, which was different from that of bulk materials. In addition, electron energy-loss spectrum L（co） showed electrons oscillation reinforced, since electrons absorbed the photon energy and generated resonance. Further, reftectivity R（ω） and refractive index n（ω） indicated that the light in near infrared region could not be propagated on the surface of LaB6 materials, which exhibited metallic behaviors. So the resonance peak of LaB6 nanoparticle was located in near-infrared region, making use of this property for solar control glazing and heat-shielding application.
文摘An optical biosensor is a specialized analytical device that utilizes the principles of optics and light in bimolecular processes.Localized surface plasmon resonance(LSPR)is a phenomenon in the realm of nanophotonics that occurs when metallic nanoparticles(NPs)or nanostructures interact with incident light.Conversely,surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS)is an influential analytical technique based on Raman scattering,wherein it amplifies the Raman signals of molecules when they are situated near specific and specially designed nanostructures.A detailed exploration of the recent groundbreaking developments in optical biosensors employing LSPR and SERS technologies has been thoroughly discussed along with their underlying principles and the working mechanisms.A biosensor chip has been created,featuring a high-density deposition of gold nanoparticles(AuNPs)under varying ligand concentration and reaction duration on the substrate.An ordinary description,along with a visual illustration,has been thoroughly provided for concepts such as a sensogram,refractive index shift,surface plasmon resonance(SPR),and the evanescent field,Rayleigh scattering,Raman scattering,as well as the electromagnetic enhancement and chemical enhancement.LSPR and SERS both have advantages and disadvantages,but widely used SERS has some advantages over LSPR,like chemical specificity,high sensitivity,multiplexing,and versatility in different fields.This review confirms and elucidates the significance of different disease biomarker identification.LSPR and SERS both play a vital role in the detection of various types of cancer,such as cervical cancer,ovarian cancer,endometrial cancer,prostate cancer,colorectal cancer,and brain tumors.This proposed optical biosensor offers potential applications for early diagnosis and monitoring of viral disease,bacterial infectious diseases,fungal diseases,diabetes,and cardiac disease biosensing.LSPR and SERS provide a new direction for environmental monitoring,food safety,refining impurities from water samples,and lead detection.The understanding of these biosensors is still limited and challenging.

文摘In this paper,a local surface nanocrystallization technology is used for thin-walled structures with square cross sections,and an energy absorption device of two-staged combined energy absorption structure is proposed.In virtue of the surface nanocrystallization that enables to change the material on local positions,the structural deformation is induced and controlled to maximize the energy absorption capacity.A numerical model of the two-staged combined energy absorption structure is established,and the local surface nanocrystallization layout is optimized.The results show that the specific energy absorption of two-staged combined structure with local surface nanocrystallization can be increased by 34.36%compared with the untreated counterpart of the same material and structural shape.The ratio between the first and second peak crushing forces and the energy absorption allocation ratio between the two stages can be adjusted in the ranges of 0.26–0.55 and 0.31–0.45,respectively,which can be controlled by the local surface nanocrystallization designs.The numerical simulation and experimental results are in good agreement,which shows that the design for energy absorption device with local surface nanocrystallization is feasible and effective.

文摘In order to enhance the p-type doping concentration in the LBSF, boron was added into the aluminum paste and boron doped local back surface field（B-LBSF） was successfully fabricated in this work. Through boron doping in the LBSF, much higher doping concentration was observed for the B-LBSF over the Al-LBSF. Higher doping concentration in the LBSF is expected to lead to better rear passivation and lower rear contact resistance. Based on one thousand pieces of solar cells for each type, it was found that the rear passivated crystalline silicon solar cells with B-LBSF showed statistical improvement in their photovoltaic properties over those with Al-LBSF.

文摘The simulation mechanism of surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs)and localized surface plasmon(LSP)in different structures was studied,including the Au reflection grating(Au grating),Au substrate with dielectric ribbons grating(Au substrate grating),and pure electric conductor(PEC)substrate with Au ribbons grating(Au ribbons grating).And the characteristics of the Smith-Purcell radiation in these structures were presented.Simulation results show that SPPs are excited on the bottom surface of Au substrate grating grooves and LSP is stimulated on the upper surface both of Au ribbons grating grooves and Au grating grooves.Owing to the irreconcilable contradiction between optimizing the grating diffraction radiation efficiency and optimizing the SPPs excitation efficiency in the Au substrate grating,only 40-times enhancement of the radiation intensity was obtained by excited SPPs.However,the LSP enhanced structure overcomes the above problem and gains much better radiation enhancement ability,with about 200-times enhancement obtained in the Au ribbons grating and more than 500-times enhancement obtained in the Au grating.The results presented here provide a way of developing miniature,integratable,tunable,high-power-density radiation sources from visible light to ultraviolet rays at room temperature.

文摘Localized surface plasmon （LSPR） resonance and sensing properties of a novel nanostructure （sexfoil nanoparticle） are studied using the finite-difference time-domain method. For the sandwich sexfoil nanoparticle, the calculated extinction spectrum shows that with the thickness of the dielectric layer increasing, long-wavelength peaks blueshift, while short- wavelength peaks redshift. Strong near-field coupling of the upper and lower metal layers leads to electric and magnetic field resonances; as the thickness increases, the electric field resonance gradually increases, while the magnetic field resonance decreases. The obtained refractive index sensitivity and figure of merit are 332 nm/RIU and 3.91 RIU^-1, respectively. In order to obtain better sensing ability, we further research the LSPR character of monolayer Ag sexfoil nanoparticle. After a series of trials to optimize the thickness and shape, the refractive index sensitivity approximates 668 nm/RIU, and the greatest figure of merit value comes to 14.8 RIU^-1.

文摘The localized surface plasmon resonance properties of Al and Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers with Al and Al core nanosphere radii of 20 nm and Al2O3 shell of 2 nm in the deep-ultraviolet region have been studied using the finite difference time domain method. The extinction spectra and the electric field distribution profiles of the two dimers for various gap distances between two individual nanospheres are compared with those of the corresponding monomers to reveal the extent of plasmon coupling. It is found that with the interparticle distance decreasing, a strong plasmon coupling between two Al or Alcore/Al2O3shell nanospheres is observed accompanied by a significant red shift in the extinction spectra at the parallel polarization direction of the incident light related to the dimer axis, while for the case of the perpendicular polarization direction, a weak plasmon coupling arises characterized by a slight blue shift in the extinction spectra. The electric field distribution profiles show that benefiting from the dielectric Al2O3 shell, the gap distance of Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers can be tailored to 〈 1 nm scale and results in a very high electric field enhancement. The estimated surface-enhanced Raman scattering enhancement factors suggests that the Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers with the gap of 〈 1 nm gave rise to an enhancement as high as 8.1 × 10^7 for interparticle gap = 0.5 nm. Our studies reveal that the Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers may be promising substrates for surface-enhanced spectroscopy in the deep-ultraviolet region.

文摘In recent years, most studies have focused on the perfect absorption and high-efficiency quantum memory of the onesided system, ignoring the characteristics of its optical switching contrast. Thus, the performance of all-optical switching and optical transistors is limited. Herein, we propose a localized surface plasmon(LSP) mode-assisted cavity QED system which consists of a Λ-shaped three-level quantum emitter(QE), a metal nanoparticle and a one-sided optical cavity with a fully reflected mirror. In this system, the QE coherently couples to the cavity and LSP mode respectively, which is manipulated by the control field. As a result, considerably high and stable switch contrast of 90% can be achievable due to the strong confined field of the LSP mode and perfect absorption of the optical medium. In addition, we obtain a power dependent effect between the control field and the transmitted frequency as a result of the converted dark state. We employ the Heisenberg–Langevin equation and numerical master equation formalisms to explain high switching, controllable output light and the dark state. Our system introduces an effective method to improve the performance of optical switches based on the one-sided system in quantum information storage and quantum communication.
