Common engineering materials are reaching their limits in many applications, and new developments are required to meet the increasing demands on engineering materials. The performance of materials can be improved by combining different materials to achieve better properties than with a single constituent, or by shaping the material or constituents into a specific structure. The interaction between material and structure can occur at different length scales, such as the micro, meso, or macro scale, and offers potential applications in very different fields. This book series addresses the fundamental relationships between materials and their structure on overall properties (e.g., mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, or magnetic properties, etc.). Experimental data and procedures are presented, as well as methods for modeling structures and materials using numerical and analytical approaches. In addition, the series shows how these materials engineering and design processes are implemented and how new technologies can be used to optimize materials and processes. Advanced Structured Materials is indexed in Google Scholar and Scopus.

Preface

Ever since the dawn of human civilization, there has been an intrinsic human instinct to know about nature and its surroundings through sensory organs, such as eyes for sight, ears for sound, nose for smell, tongue for taste, and skin for touch. All fundamentally express the sensing actions; form and intensity of which largely depend on the genetic and epigenetic factors of individuals that are essentially governed by biophysical and physicochemical courses of nature. On the other hand, men, through creative thinking and analytical skill, can make testbeds and components for detecting and sensing species of interest. Remarkable advancement in novel materials and, at the same time, innovative scientific approaches have helped solve the existing problems and to confront obstreperous challenges. Although energy, environment, health, and hygiene are the main issues of common interest, interdisciplinary pathways may appear to bridge the gaps making science and society go hand in hand in the pursuit of happy and harmonious living. The growth of biological cells through self-regulated gradual mass accumulation has essentially triggered the desire of scientists to replicate the phenomenon by the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules in laboratories. The bottom-up approach adopted in physical or chemical methods essentially deals with the atomby-atom self-assembled growth of nanostructured matters of various size, shape, and morphology. Because of large surface-to-volume ratios, the atoms and molecules in nanoscale materials behave entirely in a different manner exhibiting unusual properties, resulting in appreciably lower consumption of both materials and energy in devices. Concomitantly, innovative experimental methods are being developed to design, develop, and characterize new nanomaterials with improved quality and performances. This volume is merely a handpicked collection of articles unfolding our knowledge and existing challenges in nanoscience and nanotechnology, primarily focusing on principles and scope of sensing and labeling phenomena in various technologically important fields. Obviously, a pertinent question may arise: what is the need of such a book when such a topic is not new and for being regarded as a prime topic of most advanced research? To answer this in one sentence, this volume is an exclusive assortment of new articles describing the current developments and challenges in the frontline areas vii

Preface

of nanosystem-based sensing. Additionally, two more relevant reasons are invoked: first, the edited volume can help the beginners, graduate students, and researchers who look for a comprehensive guidebook on basic and state-of-the art research related to sensing-based nanoscale materials and phenomena. Second, it can be a reference manual for the practicing scientists and experts who are already into the sensing business. Despite numerous books available on sensing based on the principles of nanotechnology, this book is unique, and also because it covers a wide range of key materials and applications with proper weightage to the necessary theoretical concepts. The chapters are carefully chosen from the contributions of the experts in their domain areas and compiled in the most appropriate manner. Out of 28 chapters, one can easily find that sensing and detection employing optical, chemical, optoelectronic, plasmonic, and secondary ion mass-spectrometry (SIMS) methods form the basis of the entire volume. To name a few: quantumdot or nanoparticle-based sensing fluorescence, humidity, organic medium, heavy metals, explosives, etc., form the core of the book. Carbon dots, rare-earth oxides and compounds, metal-organic framework, reinforced polymer, guest-host interaction as well as physics of bioconjugation and bio-functionality have strengthened the scope of sensing phenomena to a greater extent. Applications in flexible and wearable chemical sensing, as well as sensing of foodborne pathogen, macrolide, antibiotic residue, etc., are certainly noteworthy. A perfect balance between diversity in content and insightful depth is intended for readers, enabling them to refresh their knowledge in sensing and related phenomena. Both nanoscale matter and nanoscale principles are at the verge of sensing at large which, in fact, justify the title of the book. Each chapter, unique in itself, is prepared and edited with extreme care and dedication keeping the interest of the readers of prime importance. It was never an easy task to bring a good number of expert authors, reviewers, and colleagues into the same platform and, especially, when it comes to the documentation of their specialized knowledge. Although words of the book have limitations, but the scope is not. Undoubtedly, starting from inviting manuscripts to reviewing and editing is a Herculean task that involves the participation and support of many. Nevertheless, unfailing effort and goodwill among academia play a big role in making differences even in the time of adversity. One of the purposes was to utilize the Corona pandemic period, and this book is a thriving effort in this context. At the same time, our fellowfeeling will remain forever with those colleagues and family friends who came strong and proved fit to counter the tragedy that mankind has witnessed recently. We do express our heartfelt thanks to all the reviewers who scrupulously reviewed and potentially enriched the quality of chapters by their constructive criticisms and thoughtful comments. Last but not the least, we express our earnest thankfulness and utmost gratitude to those distinguished experts who have generously reviewed the overall volume with their enlightening words. We sincerely hope, the book will create enthusiasm among young researchers and aspirants, particularly those pursuing research in materials science and nanobiotechnology. Keeping aside the application strategies, the overlapping of biotechnology and nanotechnology has also been highlighted in view of generating fundamental interest. We, the editors, are thankful to the publishers and concerned parties for

Alkali Containing Molecular Ions in SIMS: A Cutting-Edge Ion-Beam Technique for Materials Quantification in Nanoscale Systems Purushottam Chakraborty

Abstract Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) is an extremely powerful and sensitive ion-beam technique for detection and quantification in materials. Extent of secondary ions of a specific species in a sample sturdily depends on instantaneous local surface chemistry of that sample causing a strong variation in ionization cross section of the emitted species. This is so-called “Matrix Effect”, which makes the SIMS technique challenging for quantitative analysis of materials, even though the technique has highest detection sensitivity (
