Photochemical synthesis of ZnO/Ag nanocomposites

Composite ZnO/Ag nanoparticles have been formed via the photocatalytic reduction of silver nitrate over the ZnO nanocrystals, their optical, electrophysical and photochemical properties have been investigated. Mie theory has been applied to analyze the structure of the absorption spectra of ZnO/Ag nanocomposite. The irradiation effects upon the optical properties of ZnO/Ag nanostructure have been investigated. It has been found that the irradiation of ZnO/Ag nanoparticles results in electrons accumulation by both the semiconductor and the metallic components of the nanocomposite. It has been found that silver nitrate can be photochemically deposited onto the surface of ZnO nanoparticles under the illumination with the visible light in the presence of the sensitizer – methylene blue. Kinetics of the sensitized Ag(I) photoredution has been studied. It has been concluded that the key stage of this process is the electron injection from singlet-excited methylene blue molecule into ZnO nanoparticle.

Tuning of optical properties of CdS nanoparticles synthesized in a glass matrix

Attempts were made to provide the data concerning directed synthesis of semiconductor nanoparticles in a dielectric silica-based glass matrix. These attempts involve finding out the connections between the structure, size of CdS nanoparticles, and optical properties of the nanocomposites produced. High-resolution focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy images of CdS nanoparticles incorporated in glass and SAXS results confirm the formation of uniformly distributed spherical CdS nanoparticles with an average diameter of about 6.2 nm. UV–Vis measurements show that CdS composites possess a direct bandgap wider than 2.45 eV depending on the heat treatment conditions; thus, heat treatment can be used to control nanoparticle size in each selected composite. The emission spectra showed a maximum at about 603 nm and a red shift of about 100 nm with increasing annealing temperature that is associated with the presence of defect states in the nanoparticles. In addition, semiconductor phase concentration in the glass matrix was found by using optical absorption data for the first time, which allows understanding the effect of nanocomposite structure on luminescence properties.

Formation of sub-surface silver nanoparticles in silver-doped sodium–lead–germanate glass

The formation of silver nanoparticles in 60GeO₂–20PbO–20Na₂O bulk glass doped with 0.15 wt% of Ag has been studied by optical methods in the near ultraviolet-to-near infrared and mid-infrared ranges. A clear optical absorption band, which grows when increasing the annealing temperature, is observed around 460 nm, as a consequence of the surface plasmon resonance in the Ag nanoparticles. From the simultaneous analysis of optical transmittance and spectroscopic ellipsometry spectra in the near ultraviolet-to-near infrared range, it is demonstrated that the nanoparticles are surprisingly formed only in a thin layer (some tens of nm thick) underneath the sample surfaces. The potential of such a simultaneous optical analysis for determining the localization of the nanoparticles in glasses of any nature is underlined. Based on the results of a complementary mid-infrared spectroscopy characterization, the processes involved in silver migration to the surfaces and further aggregation to form nanoparticles are discussed.

High-negative effective refractive index of silver nanoparticles system in nanocomposite films

We have proved on the basis of the experimental optical reflection and transmission spectra of the nanocomposite film of poly(methyl methacrylate) with silver nanoparticles that (PMMA + Ag) nanocomposite films have quasi-zero refractive indices in the optical wavelength range. We show that to achieve quasi-zero values of the complex index of refraction of composite materials is necessary to achieve high-negative effective refractive index in the system of spherical silver nanoparticles.     

Synthesis of silver nanocomposites by SCF impregnation of matrices of synthetic opal and Vycor glass by the Ag(hfac)COD precursor

Silver-containing nanocomposites were prepared by impregnating Vycor glass (a pore diameter of 4 nm) and synthesized opal matrices (an interstitial void size of 40 nm) with cyclooctadiene complex of silver hexafluoroacetylacetonate (Ag(hfac)COD), a silver precursor, dissolved in supercritical carbon dioxide and were examined by optical absorption spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and electron spin-resonance spectroscopy. It was demonstrated that the absorption spectra of Vycor glass and opal matrices impregnated with Ag(hfac)COD molecules and subjected to thermal treatment in air at temperatures above 50°C exhibit plasmon resonances characteristic of Ag nanoparticles at 420–430 nm. The peculiarities of the plasmon resonance band for both types of samples were attributed to the morphology of the pore space in which silver particles are formed. Paramagnetic Cu(hfac)₂ molecules (copper hexafluoroacetylacetonate) were used as a spectroscopic probe for estimating the distribution of the precursor in the pores of Vycor glass and opal matrices during supercritical fluid impregnation.     

Effects of the ZnSe concentration on the structural and optical properties of ZnSe/PVA nanocomposite thin film

This study investigated the effects of ZnSe nanoparticles (NPs) on the structural and (linear and nonlinear) optical properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) thin film. Three samples of ZnSe NP-doped PVA thin films with different concentrations of ZnSe were produced on a glass substrate. The ZnSe NPs were synthesized by pulsed laser ablation of the ZnSe bulk target immersed in distilled water using a 1064 nm wavelength and a high frequency pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The optical bandgap energies of the films were extracted from their UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectra. The corresponding energy bandgaps of the nanocomposite films declined as the ZnSe NPs doping concentration increased. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to characterize the crystalline phases of the ZnSe/PVA nanocomposite films. The concentration-dependent nonlinear optical absorption and nonlinear refraction behaviors of the films after exposure to 532-nm nanosecond laser pulses were investigated using the Z-scan technique. The nonlinear absorption response of the films was positive when measured using an open aperture scheme, which was attributed to the two-photon absorption mechanism. In addition, the nonlinear refraction indices had a negative value and they increased as the concentration of ZnSe NPs in the films increased.     

Effect of swift heavy ion irradiation on photoluminescence properties of ZnO/PMMA nanocomposite films

We report a study on the SHI induced modifications on structural and optical properties of ZnO/PMMA nanocomposite films. The ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by the chemical route using 2-mercaptoethanol as a capping agent. The structure of ZnO nanoparticles was confirmed by XRD, SEM and TEM. These ZnO nanoparticles were dispersed in the PMMA matrix to form ZnO/PMMA nanocomposite films by the solution cast method. These ZnO/PMMA nanocomposite films were then irradiated by swift heavy ion irradiation (Ni⁸⁺ ion beam, 100 MeV) at a fluence of 1×10¹¹ ions/cm². The nanocomposite films were then characterized by XRD, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. As revealed from the absorption spectra, absorption edge is not changed by the irradiation but the optical absorption is increased. Enhanced green luminescence at about 527 nm and a less intense blue emission peak around 460 nm were observed after irradiation with respect to the pristine ZnO/PMMA nanocomposite film.
