State of the Art Neuronal Imaging
Ca2+ Imaging Limitations:
Direct Voltage Imaging :
-Requires Suprathreshold Signals
-Cellular Processes are faster than calcium
dynamics
-Suffers from saturation affects
-Measure the potential of 100 mV over 5 nm=
2*105 V/cm2
- An E-field sensitive chromophore localization is
critical
-- Photodamage of cell membrane is issue

Open Challenges In Diamond Chemistry

Simulations of ND+SiO2+Au NPs (Alex Meng
and Prof. Richard Osgood)
 Fluorescent Center: Nitrogen Vacancy
Center with 6 electron configuration:
 Cube of HPHT
10
Goal:
nm
Simulate the fluorescence
enhancement of a dipole emitter embedded in
a diamond matrix with varying thicknesses of
SiO2 with a Au nanoparticle at its surface.
The
ND with 10nm + SiO2. Under a laser
radiation, due to the high refractive index, the light
can barely get into the nanodiamond.
Plasmon Resonance Produces Electric Field
Enhancement (Antenna Effect)
Au NPs enhance electric field around NVC and enhance
absorption. The excited NV center will now radiate more. However,
a portion of the energy it radiated will be absorbed by gold as
ohmic loss (heat loss/energy transfer).
Dimer Modeling Has Further Enhancement
Au dimer enhances PL further. But more gold
means more energy radiated by NV center will be
absorbed.
