| description | Migration and sedimentation of solid particles in a liquid are physical phenomena involving accumulation of soft matter or decantation of fragmented matter. A thorough understanding together with relevant measurements are prerequisites regarding many fields, including medicine, galenic pharmacology, food processing, and the cosmetics industry. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of monitoring and detecting the migration of a nanoparticle cloud with a resonant light probe. For this purpose, hybrid silicon/silica/UV210 organic integrated photonic racetrack resonators were patterned by thin film processes to be used as sensors measuring the outcome of the impact of a cloud of nanoparticles, the dynamic migration plus sedimentation phenomenon of the nanoparticle cloud in water. A broadband superluminescent diode has been used for the excitation. Then, the spectral characteristics of the resonant guided modes have been analyzed, considering the observed changes while tracking the free spectral range of the transduced comb spectra as a function of time. The way to operate can be summarized as follows: Solutions based on spherical silica nanoparticles of fixed size are prepared and subjected to rheological measurements to obtain their respective viscosities. Next, a millimeter tank filled with water is conveniently placed on the active surface of the sensing chip, prior to the addition of one of the previously mentioned solutions. The series of spectra are acquired during the whole migration sequence and the transduced optical signal is then directly processed and treated by a specific code operated in real time by way of Lagrange interpolation polynomials. Collected data are then compared to a simple theoretical model describing the sedimentation of a spherical particle in water (Stokes' law). Eventually, the implementation of the device in a characterization platform and the development of a specific protocol allows a global treatment, whose description is followed by discussions on measurements and data. Consequently, after the impact of the drop containing the nanoparticles, the monitoring of a first phase regarding their fast cloud migration into the global study volume (with flow of matter plus vortex) eventually followed by their slow sedimentation, can be detected using such a resonant light probe. The overall duration of the first phase associated with sedimentation velocities is in the order of a few tens of µm/min for particles with submicron diameters (several hundreds of nanometers); a first attempt of comparison of this first phase with the results of the classic Stokes model would give a convergence of the values reaching between 9 and 19% for the sedimentation rates. |
