Abstract

The interaction of electromagnetic radiation with nanoscale particles systems (including suspension of metallic dielectric and semiconductor nanoparticles, biological nanostructures, etc.) can lead to various non-linear effects, in particular, to the stimulated low-frequency Raman scattering (SLFRS). It can provide important information about investigated system elastic properties. In the present study low-frequency vibrational modes in different biological nanoparticles systems were investigated, such as tobacco mosaic viruses (TMV), two types of potato viruses (PVX and PVA), cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV), human and bovine serum albumin (HSA and BSA) in Tris-HCl pH7.5 buffer and in water. 20 ns ruby laser pulses were used for excitation. SLFRS frequency shifts, corresponding to acoustic eigenfrequencies of the samples were registered by Fabri-Perot interferometers. Conversion efficiency and threshold were also measured for the first time. SLFRS can be applied for nanoobjects identification and effective impact on biological nanoparticles systems.
