Abstract

The peak energy of photoluminescence (PL) from an undecylenic acid functionalized porous Si demonstrated a large PL red-shift (∼ 75 nm) during 2.5 hours of protein incubation in our previous work. [1] Here we present a similar in-situ PL study of surface functionalized planar Si (Si:COOH). The PL of Si:COOH exhibited a 5 nm red-shift in its peak frequency and an approximately 10% drop in its intensity after incubation in a protein solution. Vibrational spectroscopic characterization was carried out upon the Si:COOH sample for which we observed the PL red-shift. The infrared absorption spectra showed clear evidence of protein adsorption on Si:COOH. This correlation study between the PL peak energy and the vibrational spectrum provided strong evidence that the observed red-shift was due to the formation of semiconductor-protein (Si:COOH:BSA) complexes.
