Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Nanoparticle (NP) detection using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is crucial for elemental analysis and biomedical tagging.
  • Understanding the relationship between NP size and LIBS signal is essential for optimizing analytical sensitivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of nanoparticle size on the atomic emission signal generated during LIBS.
  • To determine how NP size affects calibration curve sensitivity and detection limits.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental and theoretical investigation of nanoparticle vaporization and atomic emission during LIBS.
  • Analysis of gold (AuNPs) and silver (AgNPs) nanoparticles (5-100 nm) on various substrates (nitrocellulose, silicon, copper).
  • Determination of calibration curve slope dependence on NP size.

Main Results:

  • Smaller NPs vaporize more efficiently per unit volume, as predicted by Gibbs-Thomson theory.
  • Larger NPs, due to their greater surface area, yield a higher total number of evaporated atoms.
  • Increased atom production from larger NPs leads to more emitters and lower detection limits.

Conclusions:

  • Nanoparticle size significantly impacts LIBS analytical signal intensity and detection limits.
  • Larger nanoparticles are preferable for achieving lower detection limits in LIBS elemental analysis.
  • The findings provide insights for optimizing LIBS applications in nanoparticle characterization and biomedical sensing.
