Abstract
PEGylated platinum nanoparticles, which are capped with polyethylene glycol-400, are synthesized through the chemical reduction technique. The sample was comprehensively characterised through UV–visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD pattern for the sample revealed a face-centered cubic crystalline phase of platinum, with a lattice constant of 3.939 Å. The average particle size, obtained from high-resolution electron microscopy analysis, is 3.73 nm. The third order NLO features were explored through the Z-scan technique, employing a continuous wave regime. The observed phenomena of nonlinear absorption (NLA) and nonlinear refraction (NLR) are attributed to reverse saturable absorption and thermal lens models. NLR index was measured to be in the range of 5.72 × 10−10 cm2/W, while NLA coefficient was found to be in the range of 1.86 × 10−5 cm/W, highlighting the potential of PEGylated Pt NPs for NLO applications.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
