Description

Micro-nano composite structure with fluorescence enhancement and optical amplification effects and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of spectroscopic analysis and detection, in particular to a micro-nano composite structure with fluorescence enhancement and optical amplification effects and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The optical detection and imaging technology of fluorescence becomes an important tool and means for exploring the nanometer world due to the characteristics of non-contact, easy integration, electromagnetic interference resistance and the like. Because the fluorescent molecular cluster is small even single-molecule fluorescence under the nanoscale, the fluorescence intensity is weak, and the fluorescence detection is difficult to achieve strong sensitivity; on the other hand, due to the existence of optical diffraction limit, the traditional optical microscopy observation limit can only reach about 200nm, which is not beneficial to the fluorescence imaging of nanometer scale. Therefore, fluorescence enhancement and super-resolution imaging are the focus and focus of research on optical detection and imaging based on fluorescence.
However, to obtain a high enhancement factor requires a complex nano-fabrication process, with a fine design of the structure. The noble metal nano-structure substrate prepared by simple methods such as vacuum sputtering, coating and the like is used for enhancing fluorescence, and the enhancement factor is only several to dozens. Therefore, how to effectively enhance fluorescence by using a simple method or structure remains the focus and difficulty of fluorescence enhancement.
On the other hand, the visual observation of the nanoscale material or structure under the optical microscope needs to break through the optical diffraction limit, but the existing method for breaking through the diffraction limit needs to accurately regulate and control the monomolecular fluorescence and has special requirements on laser beams.
Jun Sun et al reported a plasma-enhanced fluorescent substrate based on a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) coating large-area Au @ Ag nanorod array, and assembled Au @ Ag nanorods on SiO2The large-area substrate formed on the/Si wafer showed the greatest fluorescence enhancement factor at the optimum PMMA layer thickness (56 nm). (Jun Sun ect. uniform and random plasma substrate based on PMMA-coated, large-area Au @ Ag nanoarray. Nano Research 2018,11(2): 953-
However, the enhancement factor of enhanced fluorescence is still small (several to tens of times enhancement) for single photon fluorescent materials. Thus, there is a need for a super-resolution imaging system that can achieve effective enhancement of a variety of fluorescent materials and achieve fluorescence in a simple manner.

The fluorescence enhancement effect of PMMA isolation layers with different thicknesses obtained by spin coating PMMA solutions with different concentrations is analyzed as follows: when the concentration of PMMA solution was 0.4, 1 and 2mg/mL, the thickness of the obtained spacer layer was 4 (FIG. 2), 8 (FIG. 3) and 12nm (FIG. 4), respectively. Fig. 5 shows the enhanced spectra of AuNR structural substrates for quantum dot fluorescence at different spacer layer thicknesses. The thickness of the isolation layer is changed, different enhancement effects of the gold nanostructure substrate on fluorescence can be observed, when the isolation layer is absent, the plasma resonance effect of AuNR shows that the fluorescence is quenched, and the fluorescence of the quantum dots is weakened; when the thickness of the isolation layer is gradually increased, the plasma resonance effect is gradually changed from quenching to enhancing the fluorescence, when the thickness of the isolation layer is 8nm, the enhancement effect is strongest, and the fluorescence of the quantum dots is enhanced by 22 times; when the thickness of the isolation layer is further increased, the plasmon resonance effect is weakened, and the fluorescence enhancement effect is also weakened accordingly. Therefore, the comparison experiment results show that the optimal fluorescence enhancement effect can be obtained under the thickness of the isolation layer of 8 nm.
Fig. 6 is an enhancement spectrum of MF microspheres with different diameters for quantum dot fluorescence. The fluorescence enhancement effect of MF microspheres with different diameters on quantum dots is analyzed as follows: due to the nano jet flow effect of the medium microspheres, the MF microspheres have a convergence effect on incident light, so that the energy density of the incident light can be improved, and fluorescence can be enhanced, so that the fluorescence intensity in the MF/QD sample is stronger than that of the QD sample. This concentration of light increases with increasing diameter of the MF microspheres, and thus the fluorescence intensity of the MF/QD sample increases with increasing diameter of the microspheres, which increases by a factor of 26 when the MF microspheres are 10 μm in diameter.
The enhancement effect of the micro-nano composite structure on the fluorescence can be observed quantitatively through spectral measurement.
Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of the micro-nano composite structure prepared in example 1, and it can be seen that the micro-nano composite structure is composed of six parts, from bottom to top, of a substrate, a plasmon layer, a polymer isolation layer, a fluorescent layer, a polymer protection layer and a medium microsphere layer, wherein the thickness of the polymer isolation layer is 8nm, and the diameter of the microsphere is 10 μm.
Fig. 8 is a fluorescence enhancement spectrum of the micro-nano composite structure prepared in example 1 for quantum dots, and four curves in the graph are fluorescence spectra of quantum dots in four samples, namely QD, QD/AuNR prepared in comparative example 1, MF/QD prepared in comparative example 4, and MF/QD/AuNR prepared in example 1. The inset is a dark field fluorescence picture of the optical microscope of the composite structure under 365nm excitation, wherein the red bright spot is the position of the microsphere. It can be seen that compared with a pure Quantum Dot (QD) sample, the quantum dot fluorescence in the MF/QD/AuNR composite structure is enhanced by up to 260 times, while in the presence of microspheres, the quantum dot fluorescence in the MF/QD structure is enhanced by 26 times, and in the presence of plasmon layer, the quantum dot fluorescence in the QD/AuNR structure is enhanced by 22 times. As can be seen, the fluorescence enhancement effect of the micro-nano composite structure on the fluorescent layer is improved by one order of magnitude compared with that of the fluorescent layer in the presence of the single microsphere or plasmon layer.
Fig. 9 is a magnified image of the micro-nano composite structure prepared in example 7 on fluorescent particles. Wherein, fig. 9a is a transmission electron microscope image of the nano fluorescent particles, and it can be seen that the diameter distribution of the selected fluorescent particles is uniform, and is about 100 nm. Fig. 9b and c are bright-field optical microscope pictures of the micro-nano composite structure with the fluorescent layer at the position of the fluorescent layer and the microsphere at the focal plane, respectively, and fig. 9d and e are dark-field fluorescent pictures (the excitation light wavelength is 365nm) corresponding to b and c, respectively. It was found that due to the presence of the optical diffraction limit, we could not resolve the fluorescent particles under the optical microscope (fig. 9 b). With the help of microspheres, we can see fluorescent particles under an optical microscope due to the optical magnification of the microspheres, adjusting the focal plane, but the imaging is not clear enough (fig. 9 c). Under 365nm excitation, the brightness of the fluorescent particles is more obvious due to the enhancement effect of the micro-nano composite structure on the fluorescence (fig. 9d), and due to the fluorescence enhancement and the optical amplification effect of the medium microspheres, single nano fluorescent particles can be distinguished, and super-resolution imaging of the fluorescent material under the 100nm scale under an optical microscope is successfully realized (fig. 9 e).
