Nanocomposite films containing Ag nanoparticles embedded in partially oxidized amorphous Si matrix were deposited on silica glass substrates by co-sputtering of Ag and Si with 1.5 keV neutral Ar atoms. The Ag content and thickness of the nanocomposite films was determined by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. Optical absorption studies revealed the presence of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) indicating the formation of Ag nanoparticles in the as-deposited films. The position, width and strength of SPR have been found to be strongly dependent on the Ag content of the films. For annealing in oxidizing atmosphere, a significant red shift in the SPR along with a drastic reduction in the resonant absorption has been observed. The amount of red shift has been found to be dependent on the Ag content of the films. Transmission electron microscopy was used to study the size distribution, shape and crystal structure of Ag nanoparticles in the nanocomposite films. TEM analysis of annealed sample revealed the formation of silver oxide nanoshells surrounding Ag nanoparticles.

AbstractAu-SnOxnanocomposite thin films composed of gold nanoparticles embedded in SnOxmatrix were prepared by pulsed laser deposition technique and their crystal structure, morphology and chemical composition were evaluated by low angle X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. For the nanocomposite films with high Au percentage, the surfaces of nanocomposite films are very smooth, while for the films with low Au percentage, the films consist of many embedded Au nanoparticles with particle size of 5-20 nm. The XRD results revealed that in the nanocomposite films Au existed in a polycrystalline phase while SnOxin an amorphous phase. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) responses of the Au-SnOxnanocomposite thin films were investigated as functions of Au percentage and film thickness in the Kretschmann geometry of attenuated total reflection using a polarized light beam at the wavelength of 640 nm. The reflectance minima (SPR dip) of SPR responses of the Au-SnOxnanocomposite films appeared at higher values of incident angle than that of a pure Au film and as the Au percentage decreases the SPR angles shift to higher values and the widths also become broader. The potential use of Au-SnOxnanocomposite films for SPR gas sensing was discussed.

Plasmonic Effect

In this study the influence of the plasmonic effect of gold nanoparticles on the parameters (Voc, Jsc and efficiency) of Au-embedded TiO2-based DSSC solar cells was investigated. The gold nanoparticles were successfully embedded into the TiO2 films by means of vacuum evaporation combined with thermal annealing. A thin Au layer was deposited first on TiO2 film by the thermal evaporation then annealed at a temperature of 400 oC to get nanocomposite films. It was found that the Au nanoparticles were well dispersed on the TiO2 films and their average size changed from 14 nm to 35 nm when the deposited gold layer changed from 3 nm to 8 nm. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption spectrum of Au@TiO2 films was observed in the wavelength range from 534 nm to 614 nm, depending on the gold nanoparticles size. The Au@TiO2 thin films were used as photo-anode for manufacturing the DSSC solar cells in configuration of FTO/Au@TiO2/(I-/I2-) electrolyte/Pt. The I-V characteristics of the cells were measured under irradiation of the visible light. The results indicate that, the short-circuit current (Jsc) and open-circuit voltage (Voc) of the Au@TiO2 films based solar cell and its efficiency were much improved, due to a contribution of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect
