1 Electronic Supplementary Data Realization of Thermally durable close-packed 2D gold nanoparticle arrays using Self-assembly and Plasma etching Thermally durable 2D nanoparticle arrays Sankar K. Sivaraman and Venugopal Santhanam* Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India *Corresponding author 1
2 1. EXPERIMENTAL METHODS Materials Chloroauric acid, trisodium citrate, dodecanethiol, and tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich,India. Tannic acid was purchased from Acros organics, India. Silver nitrate was purchased from Merck, India. Thiol-terminated polystyrene of different average molecular weights (3000, and 20000) were purchased from Polymer Source Inc., Canada. p-aminothiophenol (p-atp) was purchased from Alfa Aesar, India. Chloroform, dichloromethane, cyclohexane, ethanol, acetone and hexane were all of HPLC-grade and purchased from S. D. fine-chem, India. Photopaper (HP photo pack 57 series) was purchased from a retail outlet. Deionized water, obtained from a Millipore, Milli-Q system, was used in all the experiments. Sample Characterization A FESEM (Zeiss, Ultra55), typically operating at 10 kv, was used to characterize the ordering of the nanoparticle arrays on silicon substrates. A Tecnai F30 TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) operating at 200 kv was used to obtain images of array transferred onto a silicon nitride grid, designed for TEM observation (DuraSiN, 100 nm thick membrane). The images obtained were analyzed to determine the histograms of particle size distributions using ImageJ (Rasband, W.S., ). At least 250 nanoparticles, from images taken at different regions of the sample, were counted to determine the average diameter [μ Σd i /n] and standard deviation [σ (Σ(d i μ) 2 /(n-1)] of nanoparticle size distribution. The reported values represent equivalent circles having the same projected-area as the identified objects. The edge-to-edge interparticle spacing distributions within the array was determined using a customized code written in IgorPRO. Briefly, the code determines the centroids and diameters of particles within the array after appropriate thresholding. It then uses the Delaunay function in MATLAB to determine the nearest neighbors of particles within the array. This information is then used by the code to determine the corresponding edge-to-edge interparticle spacing distribution. Further description and the code are available either from the author upon request or on the web ( A MFP-3D AFM (Asylum Research) was used to obtain the topography and cross sectional height of nanoparticle array. Olympus AC160TS cantilevers (nominal spring constant 40 N/m) were used for AFM imaging and AFM lithography. The average and standard deviation values for cross-section height reported were determined from differences between modes present in the histogram of heights for a region of interest, obtained after flattening of the raw data. The adhesion forces reported are based on the measured values of the probe s spring constant, which were determined using the thermal noise method [S1], available as a module in MFP-3D software (v ). The nanoparticle array printed on a quartz substrate was used for obtaining FTIR spectra in transmission mode using a Perkin-Elmer RX1 spectrometer. Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) was performed using a Perkin-Elmer Pyris 6000 instrument. Nanoparticle arrays transferred onto silicon wafers were used to obtain XPS spectra using a Thermo-Fisher Scientific Multilab 2000 instrument. Raman spectra were obtained using a Horiba LabRam spectrometer equipped with a 514 nm laser source. A 100 x lens (NA 0.9) was used for collecting the scattered signals. The laser power used was 4 mw, and the signal was integrated over 10 s. Integration over longer time or higher power degraded the adsorbed molecule. Typically, the preparations for imaging were carried out at one location on the sample, and then, just prior to the acquisition of the signal, shifted to a nearby location, to avoid artifacts due to probe molecule degradation/desorption. A total of 10 measurements were made on each sample, at different locations, to compute the mean and standard deviation values of the reported SERS intensities. Average SERS Enhancement Factor computation The average SERS Enhancement factor was estimated using the following formula [S2,S3] EF = (I SERS / I bulk ) (N bulk / N SERS ) N SERS is the number of adsorbed p-atp molecules on the substrate within the laser spot, and it is calculated using the formula N SERS = N d A laser A N /σ. The density of 2
3 nanoparticles per unit area (N d = 231 particles/μm 2 ) was estimated based on the measured average diameter and interparticle spacing of 30 nm and, respectively. The diameter of the laser spot was 1 μm. The surface area of the particles (A N ) was calculated using the average diameter of nanoparticles (30 nm); the entire surface of the nanoparticles, including the occluded areas, was considered for the purpose of computation. The surface density of p-atp (σ) was taken to be 0.20 nm 2 /molecule [S2]. Thus, the value of N SERS was calculated to be 1.16 x N Bulk is the number of p-atp molecules within the illumination volume of laser in a bulk sample (i.e. p-atp spread in powdered form on a glass slide) and is calculated using the formula N Bulk = A laser hρ/m. The penetration depth of laser (h) was assumed as 16.5 μm, while the density (ρ) and molecular weight of p-atp are 1.16 g/ml and 125 g/gmoles, respectively [S2]. Thus, the value of N Bulk was calculated to be 7.24 x I SERS is the measured Raman intensity at 1077 cm -1 in the SERS spectrum of p-atp. I Bulk is the Raman intensity at 1077 cm -1 of a bulk sample of p-atp. This wavenumber was chosen [S2,S4] to avoid the role of chemical enhancement effects and that of the extent of p-atp dimerization into DMAB on the computed average SERS EF values. The average value of the measured Raman intensity for the bulk sample was 250 (I bulk, a.u.). The average value of the Raman intensity in SERS spectra was 790 (I SERS, a.u.); this value corresponds to saturated coverage of p-atp molecules on the SERS substrate, i.e. the measured signal does not increase further upon dipping in more concentrated solutions. Thus, the average enhancement factor was calculated to be x [S3] Le Ru E C, Blackie E, Meyer M, and Etchegoin P G (2007) Surface enhanced raman scattering enhancement factors: A comprehensive study.

Plasma treated arrays do not undergo drastic changes in particle size distribution up to 200 C. The differences in the evolution of particle size distributions for plasma-treated arrays at temperatures > 200 C is attributed to variations in initial number density of these arrays. 13

Sub-micron sized holes present on the surface of a photopaper, designed for wicking liquids away to an underlying absorbent layer, are also visible. Interestingly, the interparticle spacing in these arrays was found to be, which is much larger than that observed for the gold nanoparticle arrays. The reasons for this change are not clear; one possibility is the difference in the way thiol-terminated polystyrene adsorbs on gold and silver. 19
