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. Their synthesis methods and promising applicability in plasmon-driven photocatalytic reactions such as water splitting, CO_(2) reduction and pollution decomposition are also summarized in details. This review is expected to give guidelines for exploring more efficient plasmonic systems and provide a perspective on development of plasmonic photocatalysis.展开更多

One of the main goals of this field of research is to lower the absolute limit-of-detection（LOD）of LSPR-based sensors. This involves the improvement of（i） the figure-of-merit associated with structural parameters such as the size, shape and interparticle arrangement and,（ii） the spectral resolution. The latter involves advanced target identification and noise reduction techniques. By highlighting the strategies for improving the LOD, this review introduces the fundamental principles and recent progress of LSPR sensing based on different schemes including 1） refractometric sensing realized by observing target-induced refractive index changes, 2） plasmon rulers based on target-induced relative displacement of coupled plasmonic structures, 3） other relevant LSPR-based sensing schemes including chiral plasmonics,nanoparticle growth, and optomechanics. The ultimate LOD and the future trends of these LSPR-based sensing are also discussed.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

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

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

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

Monolayer formation of GNPs on glass surface functionalized with 3-aminopropyltrirnethoxysilane （APTMS） is performed for fabricating a chip-based format of the optical transducer. By chemical introduction of short-chain thiol derivatives on cyt c protein shell via its lysine residues, a very fast self-assembled rnonolayer （SAM） of cyt c is formed on the GNPs. Significant shifts in the LSPR peak （△λLSPR） are observed by reacting H2S with cyt c. Results show a linear relationship between △λLSPR and H2S concentration. Furthermore, shifts in the LSPR peak are reversible and the peak positions return to their pre-exposure values once the H2S is removed. The experirnental results strongly indicate that the protein based LSPR chip can be successfully used as a simple, fast, sensitive and quantitative sensor for H2S detection.展开更多

Due to the periodic arrangement, an LRSM can also display a Bragg scattering effect, which is a characteristic of phononic crystals. A specific LRSM which possesses both local resonance and Bragg scattering effects is presented. Via the layered-multiple-scattering theory, the complex band structure and the transmittance of such LRSM are discussed in detail. Through the analysis of the refraction behavior at the boundary of the composite, we find that the transmittance performance of an LRSM for oblique incidence depends on the refraction of its boundary and the transmission behaviors of different wave modes inside the composite. As a result, it is better to use some low-speed materials （compared with the speed of waves in surrounding medium） as the LRSM matrix for designing sound blocking materials in underwater applications, since their acoustic properties are more robust to the incident angle. Finally, a gap-coupled LRSM with a broad sub-wavelength transmission gap is studied, whose acoustic performance is insensitive to the angle of incidence.展开更多

He called it as "local resonance". Also this "Non full resonance" phenomenon was discovered in the ultrasonic drilling and the ultrasonic honing system later. To its mechanism, professor Fang thought that the coupling of long-thin tool bar and driving system is weak, so the tool bar can vibrate independently, but the quantitative relation between the coupling factor and diameter ratio is not made certain. Then several theories come forth to interpret it but still haven’t a common conclusion. Through the systematic experimental and theoretical research, this paper reveals that the "local resonance" phenomenon of ultrasonic honing system has the same essence with the "local resonance" phenomenon in deep hole machining system: when the section area ratio of tool bar and driving system is small enough, some resonance frequencies of combined system are close to the resonance frequencies of "fixed-free" state tool bar, the combined system is still resonant. According to the given depth of hole and structure size, we can use the transfer matrix deduced in this paper to design flexible bar and oilstone seat not only satisfying mechanical structure size but also achieving enough magnitude. It greatly simplified the design. This new method can be named as "local resonance" design method for ultrasonic honing system. The experiment, deduction and design method have a certain common meaning to the study and design of other ultrasonic system.展开更多

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A transparent display simultaneously enables visualization of the images displayed on it as well as the view behind it,and therefore can be applied to,for instance,augmented reality(AR),virtual reality(VR),and head up display(HUD).Many solutions have been proposed for this purpose.Recently,the idea of frequency-selective scattering of red,green and blue light while transmitting visible light of other colours to achieve transparent projection display has been proposed,by taking advantage of metallic nanoparticle’s localized surface plasmon resonance(LSPR).In this article,a review of the recent progress of frequency-selective scattering of red,green and blue light that are based on metallic nanoparticle’s LSPR is presented.A discussion of method for choosing appropriate metal(s)is first given,followed by the definition of a figure of merit used to quantify the performance of a designed nanoparticle structure.Selective scattering of various nanostructures,including sphere-shaped nanoparticles,ellipsoidal nanoparticles,super-sphere core-shell nanoparticles,metallic nanocubes,and metallic nanoparticles combined with gain materials,are discussed in detail.Each nanostructure has its own advantages and disadvantages,but the combination of the metallic nanoparticle with gain materials is a more promising way since it has the potential to generate ultra-sharp scattering peaks(i.e.,high frequency-selectivity).
文摘We apply the localized surface plasrnon resonance （LSPR） of gold nanoparticles （GNPs） covalently coupled with cytochrorne c （cyt c） to create a nanobiosensor for detecting hydrogen sulfide （H2S） in the range of 15 lOOppb. Monolayer formation of GNPs on glass surface functionalized with 3-aminopropyltrirnethoxysilane （APTMS） is performed for fabricating a chip-based format of the optical transducer. By chemical introduction of short-chain thiol derivatives on cyt c protein shell via its lysine residues, a very fast self-assembled rnonolayer （SAM） of cyt c is formed on the GNPs. Significant shifts in the LSPR peak （△λLSPR） are observed by reacting H2S with cyt c. Results show a linear relationship between △λLSPR and H2S concentration. Furthermore, shifts in the LSPR peak are reversible and the peak positions return to their pre-exposure values once the H2S is removed. The experirnental results strongly indicate that the protein based LSPR chip can be successfully used as a simple, fast, sensitive and quantitative sensor for H2S detection.

文摘With the acceleration of urbanization,environmental vibration and noise pollution have become increasingly severe,and traditional vibration and noise reduction technologies are insufficient to meet current vibration control requirements.This study,based on locally resonant theory,designed a novel local resonance periodic block(LRPB).Using the plane wave expansion method(PWEM)and the finite element method(FEM),this study investigated the bandgap characteristics,formation mechanisms,and vibration and acoustic performance of an LRPB under different periodic structures and material selection.The vibration reduction and noise reduction performance of LRPB has been validated through the Qingdao metro project.The research results show that the LRPB is superior to other periodic structures in terms of wide bandgap.Furthermore,configuring soft scatterer material,increasing the unit size,enhancing the material filling rate,and adopting a honeycomb arrangement can effectively reduce bandgap frequency.In structural design,non-high symmetry demonstrates greater advantages.In a study of a subway tunnel,the LRPB demonstrated superior vibration and noise mitigation performance compared to wave impeding block(WIB),thereby demonstrating potential for use in the field of vibration and noise reduction with regard to structures.

文摘Local resonant acoustic metamaterials have broad applications in sound insulation,yet their single-configuration designs often exhibit limited and discontinuous bandgap widths,hindering full-frequency noise attenuation across the human auditory range.This study presents a double-phase fidget-spinner-shaped acoustic metamaterial(DFAM),specifically designed to achieve an ultra-broad,low-frequency continuous bandgap by means of synergistic structural optimization,enabling effective and robust control of audible noise.Based on Bloch's theorem and the finite element method,the dispersion relation of the DFAM structure is calculated and verified by the transmission loss curves.The propagation characteristics of sound waves within the structure are further analyzed for noise frequencies that fall within the passband.The influence of the geometric and physical parameters on the bandgap is investigated,and the corresponding transmission loss in the propagation direction is further calculated.A hybrid collaborative design strategy,leveraging multi-parameter optimization and bandgap complementarity,is developed to construct a metastructure with continuous bandgap coverage from 20 Hz to 1000 Hz.The resulting metastructure demonstrates exceptional broadband noise attenuation,achieving a total bandgap width of 876.3 Hz(87.63% of the target range)with the transmission loss up to-762.78 d B in a three-periodic arrangement.The simulation and experimental results for the transmission loss of the DFAM metastructure show strong agreement in the low-frequency range.This work provides a novel framework for designing ultra-wide low-frequency continuous bandgap metastructures,offering significant potential for noise mitigation in complex environments.

文摘In this paper,a theoretical model is established for locally resonant plates with general resonators,and the corresponding governing equation is derived.The model provides a mathematical demonstration of the locally resonant effect,which contains two parts:the first part is induced by translation coupling,and the second part is induced by rotation coupling.The second part cannot be reflected by most existing theoretical models.The analytical solutions of the dynamic response are compared with the direct numerical simulation(DNS)results for two locally resonant plates with different resonator types,thereby validating the general applicability of the present model.The rotation coupling effect leads to the frequency-dependent effective rotational inertia density and anisotropic dispersion relation of the locally resonant plate,as well as the enhancement of the structural vibration suppression ability.

文摘Excessive vibration and noise radiation of the track structure can be caused by the operation of high speed trains.Though the track structure is characterized by obvious periodic properties and band gaps,the bandwidth is narrow and the elastic wave attenuation capability within the band gap is weak.In order to effectively control the vibration and noise of track structure,the local resonance mechanism is introduced to broaden the band gap and realize wave propagation control.The locally resonant units are attached periodically on the rail,forming a new locally resonant phononic crystal structure.Then the tuning of the elastic wave band gaps of track structure is discussed,and the formation mechanism of the band gap is explicated.The research results show that a new wide and adjustable locally resonant band gap is formed after the resonant units are introduced.The phenomenon of coupling and transition can be observed between the new locally resonant band gap and the original band gap of the periodic track structure with the band gap width reaching the maximum at the coupling position.The broader band gap can be applied for vibration and noise reduction in high speed railway track structure.

文摘A locally resonant sonic material （LRSM） is an elastic matrix containing a periodic arrangement of identical local resonators （LRs）, which can reflect strongly near their natural frequencies, where the wavelength in the matrix is still much larger than the structural periodicity. Due to the periodic arrangement, an LRSM can also display a Bragg scattering effect, which is a characteristic of phononic crystals. A specific LRSM which possesses both local resonance and Bragg scattering effects is presented. Via the layered-multiple-scattering theory, the complex band structure and the transmittance of such LRSM are discussed in detail. Through the analysis of the refraction behavior at the boundary of the composite, we find that the transmittance performance of an LRSM for oblique incidence depends on the refraction of its boundary and the transmission behaviors of different wave modes inside the composite. As a result, it is better to use some low-speed materials （compared with the speed of waves in surrounding medium） as the LRSM matrix for designing sound blocking materials in underwater applications, since their acoustic properties are more robust to the incident angle. Finally, a gap-coupled LRSM with a broad sub-wavelength transmission gap is studied, whose acoustic performance is insensitive to the angle of incidence.

文摘The concept of local resonance phononic crystals proposed in recent years provides a new chance for theoretical and technical breakthroughs in the structural vibration reduction.In this paper,a novel sandwich-like plate model with local resonator to acquire specific low-frequency bandgaps is proposed.The core layer of the present local resonator is composed by the simply supported overhanging beam,linear spring and mass block,and well connected with the upper and lower surface panels.The simply supported overhanging beam is free at right end,and an additional linear spring is added at the left end.The wave equation is established based on the Hamilton principle,and the bending wave bandgap is further obtained.The theoretical results are verified by the COMSOL finite element software.The bandgaps and vibration characteristics of the local resonance sandwich-like plate are studied in detail.The factors which could have effects on the bandgap characteristics,such as the structural damping,mass of vibrator,position of vibrator,bending stiffness of the beam,and the boundary conditions of the sandwich-like plates,are analyzed.The result shows that the stopband is determined by the natural frequency of the resonator,the mass ratio of the resonator,and the surface panel.It shows that the width of bandgap is greatly affected by the damping ratio of the resonator.Finally,it can also be found that the boundary conditions can affect the isolation efficiency.
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In 1982, Professor Fang Guoliang found the "Non full resonance" phenomenon in a tool system while he use the thin-long tool ultrasonically machining deep-small hole. He called it as "local resonance". Also this "Non full resonance" phenomenon was discovered in the ultrasonic drilling and the ultrasonic honing system later. To its mechanism, professor Fang thought that the coupling of long-thin tool bar and driving system is weak, so the tool bar can vibrate independently, but the quantitative relation between the coupling factor and diameter ratio is not made certain. Then several theories come forth to interpret it but still haven’t a common conclusion. Through the systematic experimental and theoretical research, this paper reveals that the "local resonance" phenomenon of ultrasonic honing system has the same essence with the "local resonance" phenomenon in deep hole machining system: when the section area ratio of tool bar and driving system is small enough, some resonance frequencies of combined system are close to the resonance frequencies of "fixed-free" state tool bar, the combined system is still resonant. According to the given depth of hole and structure size, we can use the transfer matrix deduced in this paper to design flexible bar and oilstone seat not only satisfying mechanical structure size but also achieving enough magnitude. It greatly simplified the design. This new method can be named as "local resonance" design method for ultrasonic honing system. The experiment, deduction and design method have a certain common meaning to the study and design of other ultrasonic system.
