Effect of separation on second-order hyperpolarizability of two silver nanoclusters

We present a study on dielectric response of Ag₁₄ nanocluster dimer using first principles methods. The interaction energy, (hyper)polarizability of dimer are predicted under various separations of the two identical Ag₁₄ nanoclusters. The appropriate separation makes the second-order hyperpolarizability of Ag₁₄ dimer is about 70 times larger than the Ag₁₄ monomer. The increase of polarizability and hyperpolarizability is ascribed to reconfiguration of molecular electronic state from Ag cluster monomer to dimer. Nonlinear response is more susceptible to the steady intermediate state compared to linear response. The crucial transitions contributed to hyperpolarizability are assigned to be from highest occupied molecular orbitals to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMOs-LUMO) of nanocluster dimer. Binding character of LUMO plays an important role in determining nonlinear optical properties.     

Optical properties of nanocrystalline silver halides

A review of quantum confinement effects in nanocrystals of silver bromide (AgBr) and silver iodide (AgI) is presented. AgBr is an indirect gap semiconductor while AgI has a direct band-to-band lowest energy transition. An examination of the low-temperature optical properties of quantum confined AgBr grown using a variety of synthetic techniques will be made. The dynamics of some of the involved excitonic processes will be measured and discussed in reference to a possible breakdown in the momentum selection rules as the nanocrystals are made smaller. Other explanations for this behavior such as impurity exclusion and surface effects will also be considered, as will the dynamics associated with the trapping of excitons at intrinsic iodide impurities in AgBr. Absorption measurements on AgI nanocrystals will be discussed and compared with the exciton photophysics in AgBr. Both AgBr and AgI display an increasing blue shift of their luminescence, arising from the recombination of excitons, as the crystallite size decreases. The luminescence intensity arising from this process increases with decreasing size in AgBr but it disappears in small crystals of AgI. This leads to the conclusion that in the latter material nonradiative decay channels are opening up as the size decreases.     

Non-linear optical properties of silver nanoparticles prepared by hydrogen reduction method

Silver nanoparticles have been prepared using hydrogen gas as the reducing agent for silver nitrate and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) as the capping agent; the reaction was carried out at 70 °C for 3 h. The size of the nanoparticles was found to be about 20 nm as analyzed using transmission electron micrographs. The X-ray diffraction pattern revealed the face-centered cubic (fcc) structure of silver nanoparticles. The linear absorption of Ag nanoparticles, α, is obtained about 3.71 cm⁻¹. The non-linear refractive indices of silver nanoparticles were defined by the z-scan technique using CW He-Ne laser (λ = 632.8 nm) at different incident intensities. The magnitude of non-linear refractive index (n₂) was measured to be in the order of 10⁻⁷ (cm²/W) with a negative sign. Therefore self-defocusing phenomena is taking placed for Ag nanoparticles.

Characterization of optical and nonlinear optical properties of silver nanoparticles prepared by laser ablation in various liquids

The optical, structural, and nonlinear optical properties of silver nanoparticles prepared by laser ablation in various liquids were investigated at 397.5, 532, and 795 nm. The TEM and spectral measurements have shown temporal dynamics of size distribution of Ag nanoparticles in solutions. The thermal-induced self-defocusing dominated in the case of high pulse repetition rate as well as in the case of nanosecond pulses. In the case of low pulse repetition rate, the self-focusing (γ = 3 × 10⁻¹³ cm² W⁻¹) and saturated absorption (β = −1.5 × 10⁻⁹ cm W⁻¹) of picosecond and femtosecond radiation were observed in these colloidal solutions. The nonlinear susceptibility of Ag nanoparticles ablated in water was measured to be 5 × 10⁻⁸ esu (at λ = 397.5 nm).     

Nonlocal potential and optical properties of solids

Summary The theory of the RPA optical response of a solid has been generalized in order to take into account also the possible presence of spatially nonlocal potentials in the Hamiltonian. Explicit expressions for first- and second-order susceptibilities are given in the new framework. The expressions obtained depend on the matrix elements of operators of the form of a commutator of a component of the position operatorr and an operator that commutes with the lattice translations. The problem of the evaluation of these matrix elements is solved in a simple manner by introducing an auxiliary, periodic position operator,XXXr. In such a way a general formulation is obtained that preserves the gauge invariance. As an application of the new theory, the second harmonic generation (SHG) from a semiconductor in a simple two-band model has been studied. The differences between our correct gauge-invariant results and those obtained in the usual local approximation is an indication of a slow convergence of the expressions obtained in the local approximation.     

Effects of silver and gold catalytic activities on the structural and optical properties of silicon nanowires

The metal-assisted chemical etching of silicon in an aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid and hydrogen peroxide is established for the fabrication of large area, uniform silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays. In this study, silver (Ag) and gold (Au) are considered as catalysts and the effect of different catalysts with various thicknesses on the structural and optical properties of the fabricated SiNWs is investigated. The morphology of deposited catalysts on the silicon wafer is characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). It is shown that the morphology of the fabricated silicon nanostructures remarkably depends upon the catalyst layer thickness, and the catalyst etching time directly affects the structural and optical properties of the synthesized SiNWs. FESEM images show a linear increment of the nanowire length versus time, whereas the etching rate for the Au-etched SiNWs was lower than the Ag-etched ones. Strong light scattering in SiNWs caused the total reflection to decrease in the range of visible light, and this decrement was higher for the Ag-etched SiNW sample, with a longer length than the Au-etched one. A broadband visible photoluminescence (PL) with different peak positions is observed for the Au- and Ag-etched samples. The synthesized optically active SiNWs can be considered as a promising candidate for a new generation of nano-scale opto-electronic devices.     

Structural,morphological and optical properties of PEDOT:PSS/QDs nano-composite films prepared by spin-casting

This paper describes the structural, morphological and optical properties of the nano-composite of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and quantum dots (QDs). The ZnSe and CdSe QDs have been synthesized, with the aid of Mercaptoacetic acid (MAA), by a colloidal method with an average size of ~5 to 7 nm. QDs have been embedded in PEDOT:PSS using a simple solution processing approach and has been deposited as thin films by spin coating technique. The QDs embedded PEDOT:PSS enhances the light absorption spectra of samples, prominently in terms of absorption intensity which may consequently improve sensitivity of the optoelectronic devices.     

Electrical and optical properties of pure and KClO3-doped P(MMA-CO-4VPNO) polymer electrolyte films

Ion-conducting polymer electrolyte films based on a copolymer poly(methyl-methacrylate-co-4-vinyl pyridine N-oxide) [P(MMA-CO-4VPNO)] complexed with potassium chlorate (KClO₃) were prepared by solution cast technique. The complexation of KClO₃ salt with the polymer was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and infrared studies. The electrical conductivity and optical absorption of pure and KClO₃-doped P(MMA-CO-4VPNO) polymer electrolyte films have been studied. The electrical conductivity increased with increasing dopant concentration, which is attributed to the formation of charge transfer complexes. The variation of electrical conductivity with temperature shows two regions with two activation energies. Optical properties like direct band gap, indirect band gap, and optical absorption edge were investigated for pure and doped polymer films in the wavelength range 300–550 nm. It was found that the energy gaps and band edge values shifted to lower energies on doping. The behavior is in an agreement with the activation energies obtained from the conductivity data.
