AbstractSurface plasmons in metallic nanoparticle arrays have been shown to increase the absorption of an underlying silicon substrate. This has wide ranging applications, not least in the photovoltaic industry. Incident light excites localised surface plasmons in the silver nanoparticles and is coupled into the silicon in trapped modes. The radiative behaviour of the nanoparticle film is changed by the proximity of a high refractive index surface, causing radiation to be directed into the silicon and providing a light-trapping layer. We investigate a simple and effective method of tuning the surface plasmon resonance frequency, and hence the spectral region at which the absorption enhancement is seen, by varying the underlying dielectric. The particle geometry and distribution are modified by the surface conditions provided by the dielectric layer, and both this and the change in refractive index alter the resonance position. Three common dielectrics used in the photovoltaic industry were investigated as surfaces on which to form arrays of self-assembled silver nanoparticles atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposited titanium dioxide (APCVD TiO2), low pressure chemical vapour deposited silicon nitride (LPCVD Si3N4) and thermally grown silicon dioxide (SiO2). We show, by optical and electrical measurements, that the red-shifted resonances produced by nanoparticle films on APCVD TiO2, and LPCVD Si3N4 with relatively high refractive indices, correspond to an increase in optical absorption and external quantum efficiency in thin, crystalline solar cells at longer wavelengths.

We demonstrate the enhancement of fluorescence emission from a dye, 5-carboxyfluorescein (FAM), which couples with surface plasmons at the spectral channels of excitation and emission. Experiments and calculations revealed that bimetallic (gold-silver) plasmon, as compared to the monometallic ones, allowed such coupling to be enhanced, at both the spectral channels. We achieved the maximum fluorescence enhancement level of 46.5-fold, with markedly high reproducibility (coefficient of variation ~ 0.5%) at a FAM concentration of 10 nM. We also found that higher fluorescence enhancement was more likely to be reproducible. This encourages the use of this technology for practical applications in fluorescence-based biochemical assays. Moreover, we investigated a FAM concentration-dependent enhancement of fluorescence. It was found that fluorescence enhancement decreased and saturated at above 10 nM concentration possibly due to partial photo-bleaching of FAM molecules.
