A Biological Approach for the Synthesis of Bismuth Nanoparticles: Using Thiolated M13 Phage as Scaffold

et al. 2016

We report the synthesis of Bi nanoparticles (Bi NPs) using the M13 phage as scaffold. The p8 protein of the phage is functionalized with thiol groups of different lengths, and these thiolated regions act as nucleation centers for Bi(3+) ions. The size distribution, shape, and resilience to oxidation of the Bi NPs depend on the length of the thiol group used. The NPs are characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy, Raman, and IR spectroscopies, matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization, and optical absorption. These results show that the nanoparticles are crystalline and have a typical diameter of ∼3.0 nm. The method of preparation presented here is reproducible and implies "greener" conditions than those reported elsewhere. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of bismuth nanoparticles synthesized by a biomineralization method.

“…Hence, in the investigation of bismuth metamaterial, developing lithography-free fabrication methods are highly desired. So far, the bismuth thin film, the bismuth nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric matrix, and the bismuth nanorod array are applied as the optical metamaterials for absorbers [45,[47][48][49][50][51][52], filters [49,53,54], and analog tuners for intensity and phase [55][56][57], as well as for thermaloptical switching [54,58,59]. Additionally, they can be prepared via lithography-free routes including regular physical vapor deposition (PVD) via magnetron sputter or thermal evaporation [32],pulse laser deposition (PLD) [60], and glazing-angle deposition (GLAD) [57].…”

Bismuth shows outstanding optical properties, including a metal-like response in the ultraviolet-visible range and a dielectric character with a giant refractive index in the infrared range. In recent years, such unique properties have been employed to construct bismuth-based metamaterials with remarkable optical responses in these spectral regions, especially with cost-effective lithography-free methods. Such responses can be manipulated, both in an astatic way by suitable metamaterial design and in a dynamic way by harnessing the solid–liquid transition of bismuth. In this paper, we review the advances in this field and highlight the applications of such metamaterials to information technology production, energy harvesting and sensing.

“…Thus, the authors [16,17] have studied different systems (mercury-glass, aluminum-indium) with various methods for detecting phase transitions and found no size dependence of supercooling. At the same time, papers [18,19] indicate that for a wide range of contact systems the degree of supercooling during the crystallization of the embedded particles may increase for the particles of less than 20 nm size. Though papers [20] show the result which is quite different, i.e.…”

The results of the study of supercooling of the fusible metals films between the continuous layers of molybdenum during the crystallization are given. Due to an original in situ technique based on the changes of resistance of samples during heating and cooling directly in the vacuum chamber the values of supercooling in Mo/Pb/Mo, Mo/Bi/Mo, Mo/In/Mo films are determined and the influence of the morphological structure of the bismuth inclusions on the temperature and nature of its supercooled melt crystallization has been found. The substrate temperature change during the condensation of samples, accompanied by a corresponding change in their microstructure, allows realizing both avalanche and diffuse crystallization and changing of supercooling value in the range of 60 to 180 K in Mo/Bi/Mo films.
