Abstract: | This paper reports that terahertz time-domain
spectroscopy is used to measure the optical properties of CuS
nanoparticles in composite samples. The complex conductivity of
pure CuS nanoparticles is extracted by applying the Bruggeman effective
medium theory. The experimental data are consistent with the
Drude--Smith model of conductivity in the range of 0.2--1.5~THz. The
results demonstrate that carriers become localized with a
backscattering behaviour in small-size nanostructures. In addition,
the time constant for the carrier scattering is obtained and is only
64.3~{fs} due to increased electron interaction with interfaces and
grain boundaries. |
