Four-Wave-Mixing Approach to In Situ Detection of Nanoparticles
Abstract
Here, we report on the development and experimental validation of a laser-based technique which uses coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering (CRBS) to detect nanoparticles with characteristic sizes ranging from the atomic scale to tens of nanometers. This technique is aimed (nonexclusively) at the detection of nanoparticles produced by volumetric nanoparticle synthesis methods. Using CRBS, carbon nanoparticles of dimensions less than 10 nm and concentrations of 1010 cm–3 are detected in situ in a carbon arc discharge with graphite electrodes. This four-wave-mixing approach should enable advances in the understanding of nanoparticle growth that could potentially lead to improved modeling of the growth mechanisms, and thus to improve synthesis selectivity of nanoparticles and yield.

FIG. 1: Typical planar CRBS geometry. Two nearly counter-propagating pump beams of the same polarization interfere within a medium to create an optical lattice. A probe beam with polarization normal to that of the pumps, is incident on this lattice at the Bragg angle to give the fourth beam, themore »
