Pełny tekst źródłaSince the first work on optical tweezers by Ashkin, a lot of efforts have been made to trap nanoparticles. However, optical tweezers are diffraction limited and can hardly trap particles below 200 nm. This limit can be overstepped using the optical gradient forces of an evanescent field generated and amplified by a photonic nano cavity. Nonetheless, this approach faces two major issues for applications: the trapping section is very small, making the capture of a Brownian motion animated particle very unlikely, and for the “ultimate” nano antennas with nanometric optical modes, their excitation from free space is not effective. The goal of this work is to overcome these two difficulties. To increase the trapping surface, we will first present a device using slow Bloch modes within a double period extended cavity designed in a photonic crystal made out of SOI. We will show that this approach allow for the trapping of 200, 100 and 75 nm particles on an extended surface of 5x5 µm² using a free space laser beam excitation. Secondly, we will investigate the free space excitation of nanometric structures. A photonic crystal – nano antenna mixed structure will be presented, where the photonic crystal is used as a photon pool for the nano antenna. This lead to a funnel effect where the light coming from a large free space laser beam (5µm wide) is focused into the nano antenna. The trapping of 100 nm particles will demonstrate the relevance of this approach

Pełny tekst źródłaLuminescence can be modified (enhanced or quenched) by metal nanoparticles. The interplay between fluorescent dyes and metal nanoparticles involves numerous processes and depend on numerous parameters. Their influence on luminescence is still debated. In this study, we focus on nanoparticle size and distance between fluorescent species and nanoparticles. For this purpose, gold and silver nanoparticles are elaborated by electron beam lithography which offers the possibility to control the nanoparticle geometry. The distance between fluorescent dyes and metal nanoparticles is controlled by layer by layer deposition. Quenching is observed near silver nanoparticles but this phenomenon decreases when the nanoparticle size increases. Enhancement is observed near gold nanocylinder for the largest size. Enhancement occurs when the localized surface plasmon resonance of the nanoparticle is redshifted compared with fluorescent specie wavelength emission. Enhancement can be related to the excitation of localized surface plasmon resonance by fluorescence. This energy transfert from fluorescent species to metal nanoparticles is observed by increasing the distance between these objects. The enhancement and quenching phenomena decrease with the distance. This enhancement and quenching decrease can be related to a dipole-dipole coupling

Pełny tekst źródłaSo-called primitive extraterrestrial matter is characterized by its low chemical evolution since its formation. It is found in particular as one of the constituents of the fragments of small bodies of the Solar system, such as asteroids. The study of samples from these bodies can thus make it possible to better understand its origin and its evolution.In this thesis, my work focused on the analysis of primitive matter and more particularly on the study of carbonaceous chondrites having undergone aqueous alteration. The first part of my thesis focuses on the analysis of mineral and organic phases within petrological type 2 CM chondrites using infrared and Raman spectroscopy techniques as well as time-of-flight secondary ionization mass spectrometry. (TOF-SIMS). These techniques benefit from a good complementarity in the characterization of the different phases that interest us. They are also coupled with imagery, which makes it possible to study the link that may exist between the different mineral and organic phases. I used a new unsupervised process for analyzing infrared hyperspectral data, which made it possible to determine spectral parameters characterizing the state of progress of the aqueous alteration of the samples, in particular of their mineral phase, while relating to their chemical evolution. Raman spectroscopy made it possible to highlight differences in the structure of the polyaromatic organic matter within the different samples. Finally, the TOF-SIMS also highlighted a difference in the structure of the organic matter while confirming and clarifying the differences in co-localization between organic matter and mineral phase observed by hyperspectral imaging between the samples.The second part of my thesis focused on the study of the effectiveness of a new linear accelerator - Andromeda (IJCLab) - as a primary source for TOF-SIMS on analogues of primitive chondrite matter. I produced these organic analogues in the laboratory to simulate insoluble organic matter, the majority of organic matter in chondrites. I checked the characteristics of these analogues by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray spectroscopy and TOF-SIMS. They remain different from CM organic matter in terms of poly-aromatic structure, but similar in terms of elemental composition and insoluble character. I have produced mineral analogues from earth rocks similar to minerals found in CM chondrite. The measurements that I carried out on these analogues and on chondrites show both the potential and the current limits of TOF-SIMS coupled to Andromede, and suggest areas for improvement with a view to increasing, in particular, the masse resolution

Pełny tekst źródłaElectron emission phenomenon is intensively studied in many fundamental areas in physics and lays down the principle of operation of a large number of devices such as field emission display devices, Hall thrusters, etc. It is better described for metals. However, when originating from insulating materials it becomes a critical phenomenon involved in reliability issues of components in space applications where surface flashover phenomena and vacuum breakdown are entirely controlled by the electron emission from solids. Depending on the energy of impinging electrons and the dielectric properties, the electrons can be trapped within the dielectric bulk, and/or be responsible of electron emission phenomena. This PhD work, carried out at the interface of three research domains: plasma deposition of thin nanocomposite layers, dielectric charging and charge transport in thin dielectrics, and characterization of materials under irradiation in space environment, aims to explore the effect of metal inclusions (silver nanoparticles, AgNPs), embedded in thin dielectric silica layers, on the physical mechanisms (charge injection, trapping, transport and secondary electron emission from the surface) responsible of the dielectric charging and electron emission from dielectrics, in order to modulate them. Nanostructured thin dielectric silica layers containing a single plan of AgNPs have been elaborated by plasma process successfully combining in the same reactor sputtering of a metallic target and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Structural characterization of the resulting samples has been performed to determine the chemical composition of the plasma silica matrix as well as to obtain the AgNPs size, shape, density and distribution and the total thickness of the structure. These analyses allowed correlation of the structural parameters with the response of the obtained nanostructured dielectric layers under electrical stress and electronic irradiation. It was found that for low energy of the incident electrons (< 2keV) the total electron emission yield (TEEY) from thin silica layers without AgNPs presents an atypical shape with local minimum situated at around 1keV. To get closer to the description of this behavior a model for the TEEY was developed. It is based on Dionne's model, but adapted to dielectrics. It considers the internal electric field resulting from dielectric charging phenomenon.[...]

Pełny tekst źródłaThe objective of this Ph-D thesis was to carry out and characterize biochemical nanosensors based on localized surface plasmon resonance on metallic nanoparticles. We used the Electron beam lithography to realize these nanosensors (metallic nanoparticles). This technique enables to control perfectly Plasmon resonance of metallic nanoparticles while exploiting various parameters as the size, the shape and the distance between nanoparticles. The principle of the detection of biological and chemical molecules rests on the shift of plasmon resonance after adsorption of these molecules. To characterize this localized surface Plasmon resonance shift, we used the extinction spectroscopy. Moreover, we also used a scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) to observe the detection of molecules on an individual metallic nanoparticule. This observation is based on the reduction in optical contrast obtained on SNOM images after each adsorption of molecules. We obtained interesting results in term of sensitivity and selectivity on a probed zone of 30x30um² and also on an isolated nanoparticule
Grand, Johan. "Plasmons de surface de nanoparticules : spectroscopie d'extinction en champs proche et lointain, diffusion Raman exaltée". Troyes, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004TROY0014.
Pełny tekst źródłaThe intrinsic weakness of the Raman process makes its application in a near field optical experiment rather difficult. Thus, as a first step towards near field Raman spectroscopy, we studied Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS), a technique that enables the detection of very low concentration of molecules adsorbed on rough metallic surfaces. For the purpose of the near field experiments, these SERS-active samples have to be reproducible and yield good enhancement factors. By designing metallic nanoparticle grating through electron beam lithography, we manage to vary the shape, size and arrangement of the particles, hence enabling a fine tuning of the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) over the whole visible spectrum. We then investigate the relationship between the spectral position of the LSPR and the SERS intensity. The enhancement factor turned out to depend not only on the spectral position of the LSPR, but also on the shape of the metallic nanoparticles on which the surface plasmon is localized. In the same time, we build up an Apertureless Scanning Near Field Optical Microscope (ASNPM) set-up. The microscope is based on an atomic force microscope and a confocal detection coupled to a spectrometer. The near field/far field discrimination is achieved through the use of a lock-in detection of a photon counting device. Using this set-up along with a white light continuum, generated by coupling a Photonic Crystal Fiber to a Ti:Sa laser, made it possible to investigate the near field optical response of metallic nanoparticle gratings at different excitation wavelengths. A photon counting scheme was then used to directly record near field “extinction” spectra
Bolsa, Ferruz Marta. "Oxygen effect in medical ion beam radiation combined with nanoparticles". Thesis, Université Paris-Saclay (ComUE), 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017SACLS476/document.
Pełny tekst źródłaAbout 50% of the cancer patients who are treated benefit from radiation therapy. Conventional radiotherapy consists of high energy X-rays traveling through the tissues, so that deeply sited tumors are treated in a non-invasive way. Unfortunately, X-rays are not tumor selective and healthy tissues may be damaged. This lack of selectivity is responsible for severe side effects and/or secondary cancers. Hence, improving the differential of radiation effects between the tumor and surrounding tissues remains a major challenge. Particle therapy (treatment by protons or carbon ion beams) is considered as one of the most promising technique because, by opposition to X-rays, the energy deposition of ions is maximum at the end of their tracks. When the beam is tuned so that the maximum reaches the tumor, there is no damage induced in tissues siting after the tumor. Another important added value is that heavy ions are more efficient to treat radioresistant tumors. The use of this modality is however restricted by the low but significant damage that is induced to normal tissues located at the entrance of the track prior to reaching the tumor. To improve the performance of particle therapy, a new strategy based on the combination of high-Z nanoparticles with ion beam radiation has been developed by the group at ISMO. This approach aims at using nano-agents not only to increase radiation effects in the tumor but also to improve medical imaging with the same agent (theranostic). Nanoparticles present a remarkable surface chemistry, which allows functionalization with ligands able to improve biocompatibility, stability as well as blood circulation and accumulation in tumors. The group already demonstrated the efficiency of small (≈ 3 nm) gold and platinum nanoparticles to amplify the effects of medical carbon ions in normoxic conditions (in the presence of oxygen). However, radioresistant tumors may host hypoxic regions. It is thus urgent to quantify and characterize the influence of oxygen on the radio-enhancement effect. The goal of my thesis was to study the influence of oxygen on medical ion radiation effects in the presence of gold and platinum nanoparticles. This was performed using two radioresistant human cancer cell lines: HeLa (uterine cervix) and BxPC-3 (pancreas). Different radiation modalities were used: carbon and helium ion beams delivered by a passive scattering delivery system and carbon ion beams delivered by a pencil beam scanning system. The major results of this work are the following. In oxic conditions (O₂ concentration = 20%), an enhancement of ion radiation effects was observed for the two nanoparticles (at the same concentration in metal). This effect decreased with the oxygen concentration but remained significant for a concentration of 0.5%. No significant difference was found between the cell lines. Interestingly, the oxygen-dependence varied with the type of radiation. An attempt to explain the effect of oxygen by molecular processes is proposed. Perspectives of further developments are suggested

Pełny tekst źródłaWe made metallic nanoparticles with C3v symmetry properties of 160 nm typical size. Although they are made only with gold, their non centrosymmetrical shape permit second harmonic generation. Their size has been optimized for plasmon resonance and non linear response. Gold nanostars have been made by electron beam lithography. The inter-distance is sufficiently large to allow collecting the SHG emission of individual particle. The effective χ(2) values of nanostars (44 pm/V off-resonance second order susceptibility, 480 pm/V at resonance), triangles (33 pm/V offresonance, 370 pm/V) and cylinders (7 pm/V off-resonance, 25 pm/V at resonance) point out the leading role of contour shape for significant efficiencies. The SHG response has been precisely assessed with a polarization analysis. We developed several models for the SHG response in which the nonlinear induced dipoles sources are located at the tip of star arms. The (exact or approximative) symmetry and the size of the star were taken into account. Our models show a very good agreement with experimental results. Efficiency of SHG has been measured according to pump wavelength

Pełny tekst źródłaDespite strict operative procedures to minimize microbial contaminations, bacterial infection of implants significantly raises postoperative complications of surgical procedures. One of the promising approaches is to adjust and control antimicrobial properties of the implant surface. New types of antibacterial coatings prepared via plasma polymer functionalization step have been developed. These coatings contain and release in a control way a bioactive agent. Controlled release was achieved by the fabrication of plasma polymer multilayer systems, which consist of two layers of Maleic Anhydride Plasma Polymer deposited on the surface of Polypropylene made surgical mesh. In between plasma polymer layers, silver nanoparticles are trapped as an antibacterial agent reservoir. Owing to differences between mechanical properties of the plasma-polymer thin films and the elastic bulk substrates, tensile strengths generate cracks within the plasma polymer, which might be used as diffusive channels for bioactive substances, here silver ions. The cracks can be controlled mechanically in a reversible way. The tailoring of the spontaneous release of bioactive agent is achieved by the modification of the second plasma polymer deposition conditions. In addition, during mechanical stimulation of the designed material, control over silver ion release is achieved through an elongation-dependent releasing process allowed by the reversible control of the cracks. In the field of textiles and other soft biomaterials, this strategy is promising due to the mechanical stresses that naturally occur at the implant location. In regard of possible application of the developed system as a future biomaterial, the impact of different types of commonly used sterilization procedures on the properties of developed material was studied. The effects of autoclaving and electron beam sterilization methods on the surface chemistry, the dispersion of embedded silver nanoparticles in the plasma polymer and the cracks formation of the developed material was verified. Results showed the compatibility of the developed system with electron beam sterilization method. The antibacterial properties of the new material have been evaluated. The effect of developed system on planktonic bacteria, bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on stretched and unstretched system was studied. The membrane integrity of the adhered bacteria and bacteria in biofilms was followed during the study as an indicator of the physiologic state of bacteria. Results suggested that the sensitivity of bacteria to low concentrations of released silver ions resulted in the formation of different types of structures of the biofilms on the studied materials. The results give a strong base on the future of intelligent, silver containing materials that control the release at the site of infection. Our results show that low doses of silver may be sufficient to control infection by acting on the structure of bacterial biofilms
Owusu-Mensah, Martin. "Understanding the first formation stages of (Y,Ti) nano-oxides in Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) steels". Thesis, Université Paris-Saclay (ComUE), 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019SACLS310.
Pełny tekst źródłaOxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) steels, that is steels reinforced with a homogeneous distribution of (Y,Ti) oxide nano-particles, are advanced structural materials for nuclear applications. The oxide particles serve as point defect recombination centres and obstacles to dislocation motion thereby improving radiation resistance and high-temperature strength of these steels making them perfect candidate materials for future fusion and fission nuclear reactors. The conventional fabrication of ODS steels is achieved by mechanical alloying followed by thermomechanical heat treatments. This way of ODS steel production seems complicated to understand the physical mechanisms leading to the precipitation of nano-oxide particles. The kinetics of nanoparticle formation can be much better studied using an alternative technique of nanoparticle growth, namely Ion Beam Synthesis (IBS). This approach has many advantages including the precise control of experimental parameters and the ability to de-correlate various factors contributing to precipitation kinetics. A better knowledge gained in this way would be potentially helpful for optimization of ODS steel production routines. In the course of this PhD study, the IBS approach was applied to investigate the co-precipitation of metal (Y and/or Ti) and oxygen ions implanted into a model Fe-Cr alloy with the composition close to those typical for commercial ODS steels. Following the standard IBS schedule, consisting of ion implantation followed by high-temperature heat treatment, ions of Y, Ti and O at low energies were implanted into high-purity Fe10wt%Cr alloy samples at room temperature. The implanted samples were then annealed at various temperatures ranging from 600 to 1100°C to promote the precipitation of nano-oxide particles. A range of Transmission Electron Microscopy techniques were used to characterize the crystallographic structure and chemical composition of the nanoparticles. The study has been performed following three sets of experiments. First of all, the sequential implantation of Ti and O ions was implemented. Subsequent annealing at temperatures below 1000°C revealed that precipitation of titanium oxide was suppressed. Instead, chromium-rich nano-oxide particles with corundum hexagonal structure were found to precipitate. At sufficiently high temperatures these corundum particles were found to contain certain amount of Ti. Only after annealing at the highest temperature of 1100°C, particles of another type with Ti enriched core and Cr enriched shell were additionally fixed. Secondly, sequential Y and O ion implantation resulted in the formation of probable yttrium-rich oxides at 800°C. Annealing at 1100°C promoted their growth to larger sized yttria (Y₂O₃) particles with a Cr enriched shell. Finally, sequential ion implantation of both metal ions (Y and Ti) was performed, followed by O implantation. The order of metal ion implantation has been found to be crucial for subsequent oxide precipitation at the annealing stage. With the Ti implantation first in the sequence, the precipitation of corundum hexagonal chromium-rich oxide was observed, very similar to the case of Ti and O implantation. In contrast, implantation starting with Y produced yttrium-titanium oxide particles with unidentifiable structure. Summing up, the study has demonstrated the feasibility of the formation of Y, Ti and (Y,Ti) oxides by ion implantation. The thesis presents the detailed characterization of the nanoparticles, as well as the discovered specific features of precipitated particles, such as the presence of orientation relationships between the particles and the FeCr matrix, which was observed even for the case of Cr-rich corundum particles. Finally, the implications of the obtained results, in conjunction with the already known data from the existing literature, for the better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the formation of nano-oxide particles in ODS steels are discussed
Schnoering, Gabriel. "On the Brownian dynamics of a particle in a bistable optical trap". Thesis, Strasbourg, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016STRAF057/document.
Pełny tekst źródłaThis thesis describes the experimental realization of an original optical trap, the optical piston, where controlling the phase of the interference of an incident beam with its reflection on a mirror allows achieving various experiments. We have first looked into the thermodynamics associated with a progressive compression of the piston leading the dynamics of a trapped particle from a region of stability to a region of mechanical bistability. In the context of stochastic resonance where a periodic external force is applied on this bistable dynamics, an approach exploiting the Mandel factor and a time-delay analysis on the hopping events between metastable states have proven efficient in interpreting the different results acquired in different regimes of drive. We have also shown how metallic nanoparticles can be trapped fairly easily in this kind of optical piston and we exploit our configuration to measure weak optical forces. Finally, we trap unique chiral nano-objects and we show how the configuration of our piston allows the realization of chiral recognition experiments by differential polarimetry
Khaywah, Mohammad Yehia. "New ultrasensitive bimetallic substrates for surface enhanced Raman scattering". Thesis, Troyes, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014TROY0041/document.
Pełny tekst źródłaDriven by the interest in finding ultrasensitive sensors devices, reliable surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) based substrates are fabricated. Silver and gold nanoparticles are two of the best candidates for SERS substrates where Ag nanoparticles exhibit large enhancing ability in Raman intensity while Au nanostructures are stable in biological systems. Hence, combining the two metals in bimetallic nanostructures appeared to be a promising approach in order to sum the merits of Au surface properties and Ag enhancing ability. Thermal annealing of thin metallic films is used as a simple and relatively inexpensive technique to elaborate homogenous and reproducible Ag/Au bimetallic nanoparticles SERS substrates with high enhancing ability. The fabricated nanoparticles proved their enhancing stability even after one year of fabrication. Manipulating the composition of Ag/Au bimetallic NPs resulted in tuning the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) over the whole visible spectrum, where the substrates are characterized with higher SERS enhancement when they exhibit LSPR closer to the Raman excitation wavelength. Additionally, bimetallic nanoparticles patterns with different size, composition and lattice constants have been conducted by electron beam lithography. The systematic study of their interesting plasmonic and SERS enhancing properties revealed maintenance in the LSPR-SERS relation by changing the nanoparticle size

Pełny tekst źródłaAn attractive combination of self-assembled monolayers on top of “Au” single crystal Nanoparticles (AuNp) and Scanning Probe Microscopies permits to explore the interaction between active molecules in the junction, as well as with the media. At the same time, we demonstrate the experimental proof of a molecular rectifying diode working at gigahertz frequency. Device fabrication by fast e-beam lithography allows their characterization by techniques that may need millimeter scale surfaces as well as by near field Scanning Probe Microscopies. Detection of a little number of molecules per AuNP promises interesting future research in the challenge of grafting and detecting single molecules per nanoparticle. On the one hand, this investigation confirms a recent theoretical prediction that cooperative effects between molecules may have an effect on the asymmetry of the conductance histogram line shape. On the other hand, established electrochemical theories are exploited to investigate similar factors such as interaction between redox molecules and the modification of the energy level of molecular orbitals. This study permits extracting a range of coupling energies between molecules that may be a first step towards the quantitative experimental estimation of this key parameter in molecular electronics. Thanks to an AFM connected to Network analyzer, we characterize a molecular diode operating at high frequency to 18 GHz with a rectification ratio of 12 dB (factor 4) at this frequency. Small capacitances in the order of few aF permit to see this behavior at high frequencies

Pełny tekst źródłaEmission of soot formed from incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels and biomass is a serious concern due to soot’s harmful impact on human health, environment and its radiative forcing on climate. Gaining fundamental understanding of soot formation, particularly the nucleation step leading to the formation of the nascent soot particles, is critical to develop reliable predictive soot models and to help the design of more efficient and cleaner combustion devices. This work demonstrates that nascent soot particles in the size range of 2-4 nm are able to emit a black body radiation by combined Laser Induced Incandescence (LII), scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) and helium-ion microscopy (HIM). These nascent soot particles are investigated in nucleation premixed flames in which soot particles are essentially formed by nucleation, without growth by soot surface processes and in standard sooting premixed flames in which growth processes occur. This work provides an extensive database for improvement of kinetics modelling of sooting flames with a focus on the soot nucleation in flames. Two kinds of fuels have been selected: n-butane and mixture of n-butane and n-propylbenzene. For each fuels two flames have been studied: a nucleation and a standard sooting flames. The database consist of species profiles obtained by online gas chromatography, temperature profiles measured by Laser induced fluorescence thermometry, soot volume fraction profiles obtained by LII calibrated by cavity ring-down extinction and particles size distributions obtained in n-butane flames by SMPS and HIM. From this database effect of equivalence ratio and fuel composition is analyzed

Pełny tekst źródłaThis work is focused on the characterization and quantification of the 3D distribution of different types of fillers (nanoparticles, nanotubes, etc.) in polymer matrices. We have essentially used tomography techniques in electron microscopy. Multiple approaches to electron tomography were performed: FIB-SEM (focused ion beam/scanning electron microscope) tomography, SEM tomography and TEM (transmission electron microscope) tomography. Polymer nanocomposites are basically synthesized in order to improve the physical properties (mechanical, electric, etc.) of the pure polymer constituting the matrix, by a controlled addition of fillers at the nanoscale. The characterization of such materials and the establishment of accurate correlations between the microstructure and the modified properties require a three-dimensional approach. According to the nanometric size of the fillers, electron microscopy techniques are needed. Two systems of polymer nanocomposites have been studied by multiple electron tomography approaches: P(BuA-stat-S)/MWNTs (statistical copolymer poly(styrene-co-butyl acrylate) reinforced by multi-walled carbon nanotubes) and P(BuA-stat-MMA)/SiO2 (statistical copolymer poly(butyl acrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) reinforced by silica nanoparticles). By combining various techniques, the characterization and the quantification of nanofillers were possible. In particular, statistics about size, distribution and volume fraction of the fillers were measured. This study has then provided 3D information, which contributes to a better understanding of properties of the nanocomposites. Attention has been paid to analyze carefully original data, and artifacts and causes of errors or inaccuracy were considered in the 3D treatments. We also attempted to compare benefits and drawbacks of all techniques employed in this study, and perspectives for future improvements have been proposed
