Enhanced nonlinear optical absorption of Au/SiO2 nano-composite thin films

Nano metal-particle dispersed glasses are the attractive candidates for nonlinear optical material applications.Au/SiO 2 nano-composite thin films with 3 vol% to 65 vol% Au are prepared by inductively coupled plasma sputtering.Au particles as perfect spheres with diameters between 10 nm and 30 nm are uniformly dispersed in the SiO 2 matrix.Optical absorption peaks due to the surface plasmon resonance of Au particles are observed.The absorption property is enhanced with the increase of Au content,showing a maximum value in the films with 37 vol% Au.The absorption curves of the Au/SiO 2 thin films with 3 vol% to 37 vol% Au accord well with the theoretical optical absorption spectra obtained from Mie resonance theory.Increasing Au content over 37 vol% results in the partial connection of Au particles,whereby the intensity of the absorption peak is weakened and ultimately replaced by the optical absorption of the bulk.The band gap decreases with Au content increasing from 3 vol% to 37 vol % but increases as Au content further increases.     

Photoconductivity studies on amorphous and crystalline TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> films doped with gold nanoparticles

In this work, amorphous and crystalline TiO₂ films were synthesized by the sol–gel process at room temperature. The TiO₂ films were doped with gold nanoparticles. The films were spin-coated on glass wafers. The crystalline samples were annealed at 100°C for 30 minutes and sintered at 520°C for 2 h. All films were characterized using X-ray diffraction, transmission electronic microscopy and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. Two crystalline phases, anatase and rutile, were formed in the matrix TiO₂ and TiO₂/Au. An absorption peak was located at 570 nm (amorphous) and 645 nm (anatase). Photoconductivity studies were performed on these films. The experimental data were fitted with straight lines at darkness and under illumination at 515 nm and 645 nm. This indicates an ohmic behavior. Crystalline TiO₂/Au films are more photoconductive than the amorphous ones.

Study on morphology and photoluminescence of Au/SiO2 nanocomposite films

Au/SiO₂ nanocomposite films were fabricated on Si (111) substrates by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique and annealing at different temperature for 20 min (mode A) and at 1000 °C for different annealing time (mode B). The nanocomposite films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL). SEM results demonstrate that the size of Au crystallites in mode A first increases and then decreases, on increasing annealing temperature, according to the results of XRD spectra. Analysis of PL spectra in mode B shows that the intensity of the emission peak at 440 nm and 523 nm early increases and late decreases, with increasing annealing time at 1000 °C. The origin of the emission peak at around 440 nm was related to the size and quantity of Au particles and one of the emission peak at around 523 nm was related to the nanostructure of films in agreement with SEM imagines. Experimental results indicated that morphology, microstructure and luminescence of Au/SiO₂ nanocomposite films showed close affinity with annealing temperature and annealing time.     

Electroluminescence from Si／SiO2 films deposited on p—Si substrates

The structure of Au/Si/SiO₂/p-Si has been fabricated using the magnetron sputtering technique. It has a very good rectifying behaviour. Visible electroluminescence (EL) has been observed from the Au/Si/SiO₂/p-Si structure at a forward bias of 5V or larger. A broad band with one peak around 650－660 nm appears in all the EL spectra of the structure. The effects of the thickness of the Si layer in the Si/SiO₂ films and of the input electrical power on EL spectra are studied systematically.     

Effect of NaF on optical and structural properties of CdxZn1−xS nano crystalline films

This work investigates the effect of NaF on optical and structural properties of nano crystalline Cd_xZn_1?xS films. The Cd_xZn_1?xS films are prepared through chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique in aqueous alkaline bath and their subsequent condensation on substrates. The as-obtained samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV–VIS absorption spectroscopy. Micro structural features, obtained from XRD analysis confirm the formation of cubic phase of undoped as well as NaF doped Cd_xZn_1?xS nano particles while SEM observations depict non-uniform distribution of grains. These results show the average grain size of pure as well as NaF doped samples to range from 50 to 90 nm. Tauc's plots, extracted from absorption spectra exhibit absorption to be dominating mainly in blue-green region of visible spectrum. The room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Cd_xZn_1?xS samples show a peak around 425 nm, which gets blue shifted for doped sample indicating improvement in PL properties on its addition.     

Exciton-polariton state in nanocrystalline SiC films

We studied the features of optical absorption in the films of nanocrystalline SiC (nc-SiC) obtained on the sapphire substrates by the method of direct ion deposition. The optical absorption spectra of the films with a thickness less than ~500 nm contain a maximum which position and intensity depend on the structure and thickness of the nc-SiC films. The most intense peak at 2.36 eV is observed in the nc-SiC film with predominant 3C-SiC polytype structure and a thickness of 392 nm. Proposed is a resonance absorption model based on excitation of exciton polaritons in a microcavity. In the latter, under the conditions of resonance, there occurs strong interaction between photon modes of light with λ_ph=521 nm and exciton of the 3С polytype with an excitation energy of 2.36 eV that results in the formation of polariton. A mismatch of the frequencies of photon modes of the cavity and exciton explains the dependence of the maximum of the optical absorption on the film thickness.     

Development and integration of near atmospheric N2 ambient sputtered Au thin film for enhanced infrared absorption

The exceedingly fragile nature of thermally grown Au-black coating makes handling and patterning a critical issue. Infrared absorption characteristics of near atmospheric, N₂ ambient DC sputtered Au thin films are studied for this purpose. The thin Au films are sputtered at different chamber pressures in Ar and N₂/Ar gas ambient from 4.5 to 8.0 mbar and optimized for enhanced infrared absorption. The absorber film sputtered in N₂/Ar ambient at 8.0 mbar chamber pressure offers significant absorption of medium to long wave infrared radiations. The micro-patterning of sputtered Au thin film is carried out by using conventional photolithography and metal lift off methods on a prefabricated µ-infrared detector array on Si (1 0 0) substrate. The steady state temperature response of sputtered film has been examined using nondestructive thermal imaging method under external heating of the detector array.     

Formation of gold nanoparticles in heat-treated reactive co-sputtered Au-SiO2 thin films

In this work, formation of gold nanoparticles in radio frequency (RF) reactive magnetron co-sputtered Au-SiO₂ thin films post annealed at different temperatures in Ar + H₂ atmosphere has been investigated. Optical, surface topography, chemical state and crystalline properties of the prepared films were analyzed by using UV-visible spectrophotometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) techniques, respectively. Optical absorption spectrum of the Au-SiO₂ thin films annealed at 800 °C showed one surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption peak located at 520 nm relating to gold nanoparticles. According to XPS analysis, it was found that the gold nanoparticles had a tendency to accumulate on surface of the heat-treated films in the metallic state. AFM images showed that the nanoparticles were uniformly distributed on the film surface with grain size of about 30 nm. Using XRD analysis average crystalline size of the Au particles was estimated to about 20 nm.     

Synthesis and microstructure of metal oxide thin films containing metal nanoparticles by liquid phase deposition (LPD) method

Au nanoparticles dispersed SiO₂-TiO₂ composite films have been prepared by a novel wet process, Liquid Phase Deposition (LPD) method. The composite films were characterized by XRD, XPS, TEM, ICP, SEM and UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy. The results showed that the SiO₂-TiO₂ composite films containing Au^III and Au^I ionic species were co-deposited from a mixed solution of ammonium silicofluoride, ammonium hexafluorotitanate, boric acid and tetrachloroauric acid. The heat treatment induced the reduction of Au ions and formation of Au nanoparticles in the film. TEM observation revealed that the Au nanoparticles with 5-10 nm in diameter were found to be dispersed uniformly in the SiO₂-TiO₂ matrix. The optical absorption band due to the surface plasmon resonance of dispersed Au particles were observed at the wavelength of 550 nm and shifted toward longer wavelength with increasing heat treatment temperature.

PLE spectra analysis of the sub-structure in the absorption spectra of CdSeS quantum dots

The semiconductor CdSeS quantum dots (QDs) embedded in glass are analysed by means of absorption spectra, photoluminescence (PL) spectra and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra. The peaks of absorption spectra shift to lower energies with the size of QD increasing, which obviously shows a quantum-size effect. Using the PLE spectra, the physical origin of the lowest absorption peak is analysed. In PLE spectra, the lowest absorption peak can be deconvoluted into two peaks that stem from the transitions of 1S_3/2--1S_e and 2S_3/2--1S_e respectively. The measured energy difference between the two peaks is found to decrease with the size of QD increasing, which agrees well with the theoretical calculation for the two transitions. The luminescence peak of defect states is also analysed by PLE spectra. Two transitions are present in the PLE, which indicates that the transitions of 1S_3/2--1S_e and 2S_3/2--1S_e are responsible for the defect states luminescence.     

rf reactive co-sputtered Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles in SiO2 thin films

We have studied formation of Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles in sputtered SiO₂ thin films. Silica thin films containing Au-Ag nanoparticles were deposited on quartz substrates using rf reactive magnetron co-sputtering technique. The films heat-treated in reducing Ar + H₂ atmosphere at different temperatures. They were analyzed by using UV-vis spectrophotometry, atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods for their optical, surface morphological as well as structural and chemical properties. The optical absorption of the Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles illustrated one plasmon resonance absorption peak located at 450 nm between the absorption bands of pure Au and Ag nanoparticles at 400 and 520 nm, respectively, for the thin films annealed at 800 °C. XPS results showed that the alloys were in metallic state, and they had a greater tendency to lose electrons as compared to their corresponding monometallic state. Using lateral force microscopy analysis, we have found that the alloy particles were uniformly distributed on the surface with grain size of about 20 nm.

A facile strategy to synthesize bimetallic Au/Ag nanocomposite film by layer-by-layer assembly technique

A facile strategy has been developed for the preparation of bimetallic gold–silver (Au–Ag) nanocomposite films by alternating absorption of poly-(ethyleneimine)–silver ions and Au onto substrates and subsequent reduction of the silver ions. The composition, micro-structure and properties of the {PEI–Ag/Au}_n nanocomposite films were characterized by ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), transmisson electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The UV–vis characteristic absorbances of {PEI–Ag/Au}_n nanocomposite thin film increase almost linear with the number of bilayers, which indicates a process of uniform assembling. Appearance of a double plasmon bands in the visible region and the lack of apparent core–shell structures in the TEM images confirm the formation of bimetallic Au–Ag nanoparticles. The result of XPS also demonstrates the existence of Ag and Au nanoparticles in the nanocomposite films. TEM and FESEM images show that these Ag and Au nanoparticles in the films possess sphere structure with the size of 20–25 nm. The resulting {PEI–Ag/Au}_n films inherit the properties from both the metal Ag and Au, which exhibits a unique performance in SERS and electrocatalytic activities to the oxidation of dopamine. As a result, the {PEI–Ag/Au}_n films are more attractive compared to {PEI–Ag/PSS}_n and {PEI/Au}_n films.     

Visible photocurrent response of TiO2 anode

The photoelectrochemical response to the electromagnetic radiation over the visible range is particularly sought for from the point of view of the efficiency of hydrogen generation by water photolysis in a photoelectrochemical solar cell, PEC. The PEC used in this work comprises thin film TiO₂ - based photoanode, Pt foil covered with Pt black as a cathode and SCE as a reference electrode, immersed in an electrolyte solution. Titanium dioxide thin films are deposited by means of rf reactive sputtering and modified, when necessary, by Au or Ag ultra-thin overcoatings. Here we show that even unmodified TiO₂ photoanode, shows a photocurrent peak over the visible range of the light spectrum (λ = 500-650 nm). The effect of the surface modification by noble metals and properties of the aqueous electrolyte on the visible photocurrent are studied. The optical spectra indicate an increased absorption due to noble metal deposits at 410 nm for Ag and at 600 nm for Au. In contrast, the photocurrent peak over the visible range (500 nm < λ < 650 nm) changes its symmetry and decreases in intensity with the increasing thickness of noble metals layers. The visible photoresponse is explained in terms of OH formation at the interface between TiO₂ electrode and aqueous electrolyte.
