Superparamagnetic Magnetite Nanoparticle Superstructures for Optical Modulation/Chopping

Abstract: We experimentally demonstrate proof of concept operation of superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles and magnetite−TiO2 peapod superstructures for laser intensity modulation and chopping. The frequency of the modulation is shown to be twice that of the driving signal and a function of the size of the particles. Specifically, optical modulation with round nanoparticles of sizes 86, 140, and 190 nm is compared with optical modulation with magnetite−TiO2 peapod superstructures of lengths of around 1 μm. The form… Show more

“…To obtain a quantitative understanding of its switching frequency, we studied the optical properties of the liquid crystal under a high-frequency alternating magnetic field. Upon application of the magnetic field, the nanorods oscillate as a result of the quick switching of field polarity from one direction to the opposite. As the orientation of the nanorods is temporarily displaced from the equilibrium position, which is parallel to the transmission axis of the polarizer, a laser beam passes through the cross polarizer and gives a detectable signal. The black curve in Figure a indicates that this liquid crystal exhibits a rapid response to an alternating 5 mT field.…”
