This work introduces a pH detector based on a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) designed to operate in pH 4.0, 7.0, and 10.0 buffer solutions. The sensor utilizes the monitoring for a particular solution comprising Alizarin Red S and OH carbon nanotubes at a wavelength of 1559 nm.
In this work we present the synthesis of Au@Ag bimetallic nanoparticles via seed-mediated method and their nonlinear optical properties. For the synthesis of nanoparticles, 18 nm gold seeds were synthesized by Turkevich method followed by the silver ion reduction with ascorbic acid. The nanoparticles dispersion was analyzed by UV-Vis spectroscopy and the spectra suggest the formation of spherical core@shell bimetallic nanoparticles. SEM images were obtained in order to corroborate this. The nanoparticles dispersions present negative and positive nonlinear absorption coefficient and negative refraction index, according to z-scan measurements. The nonlinear optical properties can be tailor modifying the thickness of shell.
