Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photothermal property measurement technology of nanobubbles, specifically a method for measuring the temperature, pressure, and size of nanobubbles based on laser extinction. Background Technology

[0002] Plasmonic nanobubbles are formed by photothermal phenomena generated when plasmonic materials are excited by resonant wavelength lasers. Due to their unique photothermal and optical properties, plasmonic nanobubbles have been widely studied in fields such as microfabrication, micromanipulation, robotic propulsion, molecular enrichment and sensing, clinical treatment, and solar vapor generation. Based on these promising applications, researchers have conducted in-depth and systematic explorations into the formation mechanism of plasmonic nanobubbles. Early methods for capturing bubble growth dynamics included dark-field imaging, hydrophone detection, and transparency testing. However, the nucleation and growth process of bubbles involves dramatic morphological changes, molecular-nanoscale phenomena (such as surface chemistry, curvature, wetting conditions, and surface tension), and other factors (such as pulse duration, nanostructure size, laser intensity, and interfacial thermal resistance), making the growth mechanism of nanobubbles extremely complex. Furthermore, because the nucleation and growth of nanobubbles occur at the nanoscale, current techniques cannot simultaneously measure the internal temperature, pressure, and size of the bubbles during the formation process.

The method is implemented using a measuring device, which includes a pulsed laser, a CCD camera, an objective lens, an avalanche photodetector, and a data acquisition and processing integrated computer. Figure 1 As shown, the laser emitted by the pulsed laser is first reflected by a mirror and then focused into a smaller spot by an objective lens. A CCD camera can monitor the position of the laser spot in real time through the reflected light and can detect whether the laser spot is illuminating the nanoparticles. After the laser irradiates the nanoparticles, the intensity of the transmitted laser is obtained by an avalanche photodetector, and the intensity of the incident laser and the transmitted laser are recorded in real time by an integrated computer for data acquisition and processing.

This portion of the energy is converted into heat by the gold nanoparticles, heating the surrounding water to produce nanobubbles.

[0065] Step 5; Based on the laser power absorbed by the nanoparticles in Step 4 , laser power Dividing by the particle's volume gives the particle's volumetric heat source density. The energy equations are then substituted into the energy equations, and the temperature during the formation of nanobubbles is solved using the finite difference method.
