Plasmofluidic Single-Molecule Surface-Enhanced Raman
ARTICLE Received 24 Feb 2014 | Accepted 9 Jun 2014 | Published 7 Jul 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms5357 Plasmofluidic single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman scattering from dynamic assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles Partha Pratim Patra1, Rohit Chikkaraddy1, Ravi P.N. Tripathi1, Arindam Dasgupta1 & G.V. Pavan Kumar1 Single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SM-SERS) is one of the vital applications of plasmonic nanoparticles. The SM-SERS sensitivity critically depends on plasmonic hot-spots created at the vicinity of such nanoparticles. In conventional fluid-phase SM-SERS experiments, plasmonic hot-spots are facilitated by chemical aggregation of nanoparticles. Such aggregation is usually irreversible, and hence, nanoparticles cannot be re-dispersed in the fluid for further use. Here, we show how to combine SM-SERS with plasmon polariton-assisted, reversible assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles at an unstructured metal–fluid interface. One of the unique features of our method is that we use a single evanescent-wave optical excitation for nanoparticle assembly, manipulation and SM-SERS measurements. Furthermore, by utilizing dual excitation of plasmons at metal–fluid interface, we create interacting assemblies of metal nanoparticles, which may be further harnessed in dynamic lithography of dispersed nanostructures. Our work will have implications in realizing optically addressable, plasmofluidic, single-molecule detection platforms. 1 Photonics and Optical Nanoscopy Laboratory, h-cross, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune 411008, India.

VISCOSITY of a GAS -Dr S P Singh Department of Chemistry, a N College, Patna
Lecture Note on VISCOSITY OF A GAS -Dr S P Singh Department of Chemistry, A N College, Patna A sketchy summary of the main points Viscosity of gases, relation between mean free path and coefficient of viscosity, temperature and pressure dependence of viscosity, calculation of collision diameter from the coefficient of viscosity Viscosity is the property of a fluid which implies resistance to flow. Viscosity arises from jump of molecules from one layer to another in case of a gas. There is a transfer of momentum of molecules from faster layer to slower layer or vice-versa. Let us consider a gas having laminar flow over a horizontal surface OX with a velocity smaller than the thermal velocity of the molecule. The velocity of the gaseous layer in contact with the surface is zero which goes on increasing upon increasing the distance from OX towards OY (the direction perpendicular to OX) at a uniform rate . Suppose a layer ‘B’ of the gas is at a certain distance from the fixed surface OX having velocity ‘v’. Two layers ‘A’ and ‘C’ above and below are taken into consideration at a distance ‘l’ (mean free path of the gaseous molecules) so that the molecules moving vertically up and down can’t collide while moving between the two layers. Thus, the velocity of a gas in the layer ‘A’ ---------- (i) = + Likely, the velocity of the gas in the layer ‘C’ ---------- (ii) The gaseous molecules are moving in all directions due= to −thermal velocity; therefore, it may be supposed that of the gaseous molecules are moving along the three Cartesian coordinates each. -

Generation and Stability of Size-Adjustable Bulk Nanobubbles
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Generation and Stability of Size-Adjustable Bulk Nanobubbles Based on Periodic Pressure Received: 10 September 2018 Accepted: 18 December 2018 Change Published: xx xx xxxx Qiaozhi Wang, Hui Zhao, Na Qi, Yan Qin, Xuejie Zhang & Ying Li Recently, bulk nanobubbles have attracted intensive attention due to the unique physicochemical properties and important potential applications in various felds. In this study, periodic pressure change was introduced to generate bulk nanobubbles. N2 nanobubbles with bimodal distribution and excellent stabilization were fabricated in nitrogen-saturated water solution. O2 and CO2 nanobubbles have also been created using this method and both have good stability. The infuence of the action time of periodic pressure change on the generated N2 nanobubbles size was studied. It was interestingly found that, the size of the formed nanobubbles decreases with the increase of action time under constant frequency, which could be explained by the diference in the shrinkage and growth rate under diferent pressure conditions, thereby size-adjustable nanobubbles can be formed by regulating operating time. This study might provide valuable methodology for further investigations about properties and performances of bulk nanobubbles. Nanobubbles are gaseous domains which could be found at the solid/liquid interface or in solution, known as surface nanobubbles (SNBs)1,2 and bulk nanobubbles (BNBs)3, respectively. For BNBs, generally recognized as spherical bubbles with the diameter of less than 1μm surrounded by liquid, though it has been observed frstly in 19814, the existence of long-lived BNBs is still a controversial subject as it is contrary to the classical theory5,6. -

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. We review briefly the concept of colloidal dispersions, their general properties, and some of their most important applications, as well as the basic molecular interactions that give rise to their properties in equilibrium. Similarly, we revisit Brownian motion and hydrodynamic interactions associated with the concept of viscosity of colloidal dispersion. It is argued that the use of modern research tools, such as computer simulations, allows one to predict accurately some macroscopically measurable properties by solving relatively simple models of molecular interactions for a large number of particles. Lastly, as a case study, we report the prediction of rheological properties of polymer brushes using state-of-the-art, coarse-grained computer simulations, which are in excellent agreement with experiments. -
Chapter 3 3.4-2 the Compressibility Factor Equation of State
Chapter 3 3.4-2 The Compressibility Factor Equation of State The dimensionless compressibility factor, Z, for a gaseous species is defined as the ratio pv Z = (3.4-1) RT If the gas behaves ideally Z = 1. The extent to which Z differs from 1 is a measure of the extent to which the gas is behaving nonideally. The compressibility can be determined from experimental data where Z is plotted versus a dimensionless reduced pressure pR and reduced temperature TR, defined as pR = p/pc and TR = T/Tc In these expressions, pc and Tc denote the critical pressure and temperature, respectively. A generalized compressibility chart of the form Z = f(pR, TR) is shown in Figure 3.4-1 for 10 different gases. The solid lines represent the best curves fitted to the data. Figure 3.4-1 Generalized compressibility chart for various gases10. It can be seen from Figure 3.4-1 that the value of Z tends to unity for all temperatures as pressure approach zero and Z also approaches unity for all pressure at very high temperature. If the p, v, and T data are available in table format or computer software then you should not use the generalized compressibility chart to evaluate p, v, and T since using Z is just another approximation to the real data. 10 Moran, M.

Colloidal Crystal: Emergence of Long Range Order from Colloidal Fluid
Colloidal Crystal: emergence of long range order from colloidal fluid Lanfang Li December 19, 2008 Abstract Although emergence, or spontaneous symmetry breaking, has been a topic of discussion in physics for decades, they have not entered the set of terminologies for materials scientists, although many phenomena in materials science are of the nature of emergence, especially soft materials. In a typical soft material, colloidal suspension system, a long range order can emerge due to the interaction of a large number of particles. This essay will first introduce interparticle interactions in colloidal systems, and then proceed to discuss the emergence of order, colloidal crystals, and finally provide an example of applications of colloidal crystals in light of conventional molecular crystals. 1 1 Background and Introduction Although emergence, or spontaneous symmetry breaking, and the resultant collective behav- ior of the systems constituents, have manifested in many systems, such as superconductivity, superfluidity, ferromagnetism, etc, and are well accepted, maybe even trivial crystallinity. All of these phenonema, though they may look very different, share the same fundamental signature: that the property of the system can not be predicted from the microscopic rules but are, \in a real sense, independent of them. [1] Besides these emergent phenonema in hard condensed matter physics, in which the interaction is at atomic level, interactions at mesoscale, soft will also lead to emergent phenemena. Colloidal systems is such a mesoscale and soft system. This size scale is especially interesting: it is close to biogical system so it is extremely informative for understanding life related phenomena, where emergence is origin of life itself; it is within visible light wavelength, so that it provides a model system for atomic system with similar physics but probable by optical microscope. -

Universality in Spectral Condensation Induja Pavithran1, Vishnu R
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Universality in spectral condensation Induja Pavithran1, Vishnu R. Unni2*, Alan J. Varghese3, D. Premraj3, R. I. Sujith3,4*, C. Vijayan1, Abhishek Saha2, Norbert Marwan4 & Jürgen Kurths4,5,6 Self-organization is the spontaneous formation of spatial, temporal, or spatiotemporal patterns in complex systems far from equilibrium. During such self-organization, energy distributed in a broadband of frequencies gets condensed into a dominant mode, analogous to a condensation phenomenon. We call this phenomenon spectral condensation and study its occurrence in fuid mechanical, optical and electronic systems. We defne a set of spectral measures to quantify this condensation spanning several dynamical systems. Further, we uncover an inverse power law behaviour of spectral measures with the power corresponding to the dominant peak in the power spectrum in all the aforementioned systems. During self-organization, an ordered pattern emerges from an initially disordered state. In dynamical systems, a pattern can be any regularly repeating arrangements in space, time or both1. For example, a laser emits random wave tracks like a lamp until the critical pump power, above which the laser emits light as a single coherent wave track with high-intensity2. A macroscopic change is observed in the laser system as a long-range pattern emerges in time. Another example is the Rayleigh–Bénard system. For lower temperature gradients, the fuid parcels move randomly. As the temperature gradient is increased, a rolling motion sets in and the fuid parcels behave coherently to form spatially extended patterns. Te initial random pattern can be regarded as a superposition of a variety of oscillatory modes and eventually some oscillatory modes dominate, resulting in the emergence of a spatio-temporal pattern3,4. -

This contrasts to a previous assumption that this color is due to an interband absorption transition. The existence of SPs was demonstrated by launching them in thin AuAl2 films in the Kretschmann configuration, which enables us to measure the SP dispersion relation. I observed that the SP energy in thin films of purple gold is around 2.1 eV, comparable to previous work on the dielectric function of this material. Furthermore, SP sensing using AuAl2 also shows the ability to measure the change in the refractive index of standard sucrose solution. AuAl2 in nanoparticle form is also discussed in terms of plasmonic applications, where Mie scattering theory predicts that the particle bears nearly uniform absorption over the entire visible spectrum with an order magnitude higher absorption than efficient light-absorbing carbonaceous particle also known a carbon black. -
