Abstract
This study investigates the impact of laser pulse energy (500 mJ/pulse) on silver, gold, and silver@gold NPs and deposited on porous silicon. The objective is to assess their effects on structural, optical, morphological, and electrical properties, aiming to identify optimal conditions. Nanoparticles are produced through the technique of pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL). This involves employing a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser operating at a wavelength of 1064 nm and pulse duration of 10 ns. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis validates the crystalline development of (core–shell) NPs, evident from the presence of XRD peaks corresponding to Au and Ag NPs. Morphological analysis reveals excellent adhesion between NPs and the substrate (PS), enhancing structural stability. UV–vis spectra demonstrate a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) band within the 420–540 nm range. This band shifts from two peaks to one with increased gold content. A comparison of the photoluminescence emission spectra of porous silicon and Ag@Au NPS/PS at room temperature. The porous silicon exhibits an extreme PL emission band broadening centered at a visible wavelength of 620 nm (2.033 eV), which reveals the excellent quality of the PS structure. Photodetector measurements highlight maximum responsivity for the Ag@Au/PS photodetector. These Ag@Au NPs show promising attributes for high-performance photodetector applications.
期刊介绍:
Plasmonics is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed leading-edge original articles that both advance and report our knowledge base and practice of the interactions of free-metal electrons, Plasmons.
Topics covered include notable advances in the theory, Physics, and applications of surface plasmons in metals, to the rapidly emerging areas of nanotechnology, biophotonics, sensing, biochemistry and medicine. Topics, including the theory, synthesis and optical properties of noble metal nanostructures, patterned surfaces or materials, continuous or grated surfaces, devices, or wires for their multifarious applications are particularly welcome. Typical applications might include but are not limited to, surface enhanced spectroscopic properties, such as Raman scattering or fluorescence, as well developments in techniques such as surface plasmon resonance and near-field scanning optical microscopy.
