We have shown that suppression of the surface plasmon resonance in nanoparticle is associated with increase of the atom mobility in crystal lattice with strong radial dependence accompanied by electron-phonon scattering upon the temperature growth.

The effects of the temperature on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in noble metal nanoparticles at various temperatures ranging from 77 to 1190 K are reviewed. A temperature increase results in an appreciable red shift and leads to a broadening of the SPR in the nanoparticles (NPs). This observed thermal expansion along with an increase in the electron-phonon scattering rate with rising temperature emerge as the dominant physical mechanisms producing the red shift and broadening of the SPR. Strong temperature dependence of surface plasmon enhanced photoluminescence from silver (Ag) and copper (Cu) NPs is observed. The quantum photoluminescence yield of Ag nanoparticles decreases as the temperature increases, due to a decrease in the plasmon enhancement resulting from an increase in the electron-phonon scattering rate. An anomalous temperature dependence of the photoluminescence from Cu nanoparticles was also observed; the quantum yield of photoluminescence increases with the temperature. The interplay between the SPR and the interband transitions plays a critical role in this effect. The surface-plasmon involved laser heating of a dense 2D layer of gold (Au) NPs and of Au NPs in water colloids is also examined. A strong increase in the Au NP temperature occurs, when the laser frequency approaches the SPR. This finding supports the resonant plasmonic character of the laser heating of metal NPs. The sharp blue shift of the surface plasmon resonance in colloidal Au NPs at temperatures exceeding the water boiling point indicates the vapor-bubble formation near the surface of the NPs.

In the past half-century, surface plasmon resonance in noble metallic nanoparticles has been an important research subject. Recent advances in the synthesis, assembly, characterization, and theories of traditional and non-traditional metal nanostructures open a new pathway to the kaleidoscopic applications of plasmonics. However, accurate and precise models of plasmon resonance are still challenging, as its characteristics can be affected by multiple factors. We herein summarize the recent advances of plasmonic nanoparticles and their applications, particularly regarding the fundamentals and applications of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in Au nanoparticles, plasmon-enhanced upconversion luminescence, and plasmonic chiral metasurfaces.

AbstractVery small metallic nanostructures, i.e., plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs), can demonstrate the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect, a characteristic of the strong light absorption, scattering and localized electromagnetic field via the collective oscillation of surface electrons upon on the excitation by the incident photons. The LSPR of plasmonic NPs can significantly improve the photoresponse of the photodetectors. In this work, significantly enhanced photoresponse of UV photodetectors is demonstrated by the incorporation of various plasmonic NPs in the detector architecture. Various size and elemental composition of monometallic Ag and Au NPs, as well as bimetallic alloy AgAu NPs, are fabricated on GaN (0001) by the solid-state dewetting approach. The photoresponse of various NPs are tailored based on the geometric and elemental evolution of NPs, resulting in the highly enhanced photoresponsivity of 112 A W−1, detectivity of 2.4 × 1012 Jones and external quantum efficiency of 3.6 × 104% with the high Ag percentage of AgAu alloy NPs at a low bias of 0.1 V. The AgAu alloy NP detector also demonstrates a fast photoresponse with the relatively short rise and fall time of less than 160 and 630 ms, respectively. The improved photoresponse with the AgAu alloy NPs is correlated with the simultaneous effect of strong plasmon absorption and scattering, increased injection of hot electrons into the GaN conduction band and reduced barrier height at the alloy NPs/GaN interface.

Frustrated Total Internal Reflection

Two optical methods, namely surface plasmon resonance imaging and frustrated total internal reflection, are described in the paper in terms of comparing their sensitivity to change of refractive index of a thin boundary layer of an investigated medium. It is shown that, despite the fact that the theoretically calculated sensitivity is higher for the frustrated total internal reflection method, and the fact that usually in practice the surface plasmon resonance method, on the contrary, is considered more sensitive, under the same experimental conditions both methods show a similar result.
