Tunability of RF-Responses by Plasmonic Dielectric Amplification Using Branched e- -Polarizable C60-Adducts on Magnetic (Postprint)
Abstract
Three C60-DPAF conjugates were synthesized with one as a linear monoadduct and two as branched or starburst multiadducts in structure for the investigation of chromophore antenna number-dependent tunability of RF-responses at 0.518 GHz. The effect was photoinduced by the generation of surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) at the surface of trilayered coreshell nanoparticles (NPs) consisting of a highly magnetic -FeOx@AuNP core and an e-polarizable C60-DPAF adduct-derived partially bilayered fullerosome outer shell. Observed large dielectric (permittivity) amplification phenomena, with the maximization on the starburst multiadduct-derived nanoparticles, were correlated to the photoactivation efficiency at the gold nanolayer. We hypothesized that the prolong accumulation (or trapping) of photogenerated SPR energy in the intermediate gold layer, sandwiched between the C60 (>DPAF-C9)x-derived fullerosome membrane and the highly magnetic gamma-FeOx NP core, was effectively released at the light-off stage to induce the intramolecular polarization of C60-DPAF adducts. Resulting charged transient states were regarded as the origin of observed high permittivity-photoswitching effect.
