Structural, optical and electrical properties of Al+MoO3 and Au+MoO3 thin films prepared by simultaneous magnetron sputtering deposition were investigated. The influence of MoO3 sputtering power on the Al and Au nanoparticle formation and spatial distribution was explored. We demonstrated the formation of spatially arranged Au nanoparticles in the MoO3 matrix, while Al incorporates in the MoO3 matrix without nanoparticle formation. The dependence of the Au nanoparticle size and arrangement on the MoO3 sputtering power was established. The Al-based films show a decrease of overall absorption with an Al content increase, while the Au-based films have the opposite trend. The transport properties of the investigated films also are completely different. The resistivity of the Al-based films increases with the Al content, while it decreases with the Au content increase. The reason is a different transport mechanism that occurs in the films due to their different structural properties. The choice of the incorporated material (Al or Au) and its volume percentage in the MoO3 matrix enables the design of materials with desirable optical and electrical characteristics for a variety of applications.

AbstractA surface plasmon resonance mercury sensor was demonstrated by electroless reduction of silver nanoparticles on amorphous silicon thin films. Unlike the previous Ag/Au nanoparticle - Hg interaction investigations, which monitored the blue shift of the dipolar plasmon band of well-dispersed nanoparticles, the present work reveals and explores the red shift of the symmetric hybrid plasmon mode of the interacting nanoparticles in response to Hg vapor exposure. Sensitivity to Hg was explored with varying nanoparticle size, which could be controlled by the immersion time associated with the reduction process. The recovery of the hybrid plasmon band after the Hg exposure was also monitored which was observed to be slower than the recovery of the dipolar plasmon band for noninteracting particles.

Photocatalytic hybrid systems were realized by associating bismuth vanadate nanostructured thin films with anchored organic dyes. The quantum chemical calculations and computer modelling may explain the charge transfer behaviour occurring in the hybrid systems.

Two new polyphosphazenes, poly(4-maleimidophenoxy/phenoxy)phosphazene and poly(4-phthalimidophenoxy/phenoxy)phosphazene, were prepared and used to toughen a PMR polyimide designated LaRCTMRP46. These toughened polyimides were evaluated as thin films with a 0–40 wt% range of polyphosphazene to polyimide. The structure–property relationships of these inorganic/organic polymeric matrices were studied and evaluated in terms of fracture toughness, thermo-oxidative stability, and thermal, mechanical, and tensile properties. The hybrid systems revealed an increase in fracture toughness up to 20 wt% polyphosphazene load without any substantial loss in tensile properties. With 5 wt% poly(4-phthalimidophenoxy/phenoxy)phosphazene loading, the fracture toughness of the semi-interpenetrating network was increased by 124%. When 10 wt% poly(4- maleimidophenoxy/phenoxy)phosphazene loading was used, the fracture toughness of the grafted copolymer was improved by 217%. In addition, substantial enhancement in thermo-oxidative stability was also observed.
