In the current study, two types of scattering centers were used: perovskite nanoparticles and Au nanoparticles. The thermal relaxation time and thermal diffusivity of this medium are significant factors that affect the stability of the structure and output coefficients. Thermal lens spectroscopy, which relies on the use of two types of lasers, was used to measure these two factors. The pumping laser had a wavelength of 532 nm and a power of 20 mW, whereas the probe laser was of the helium-neon type with a wavelength of 632 nm and a stable power of 1 mW. The results showed a clear effect of the dye solution concentration, as increasing the dye concentration increased the thermal relaxation time and decreased the thermal diffusivity. A significant effect was also observed when nanoparticles were added. The also of perovskite nanoparticles led to nonlinear behavior, which created an ideal volumetric ratio for heat leakage. The results also showed that the addition of Au nanoparticles led to an increase in the thermal relaxation time and a deterioration in the thermal diffusivity. The reason for the increased thermal relaxation time in the case of nano-gold is its strong absorption of light and its conversion into heat via the photothermal effect, which increases the overall heat capacity of the system, while perovskite allows the possibility of controlling heat leakage through the optimal volume ratio. These findings can be used to design thermally stable random laser devices for biomedical imaging and remote sensing applications.

Results show that when a high-index BaTiO₃ spacer is employed to shift resonance toward higher incident angles, lower-index prisms achieve comparable sensitivity with significantly thinner dielectric layers and consequently narrower resonance widths.

Extending the analysis to a wider refractive index range of 1.33–1.36 demonstrates that the optimal prism is the lowest-index prism capable of sustaining SPR over the desired sensing interval, leading to an optimized SiO₂-based design with a sensitivity of 291.97 °/RIU, detection accuracy of 0.5463 deg⁻¹, quality factor of 159.5 RIU⁻¹ and signal-to-noise ratio of 4.785.

In this work, the optical response and solar-harvesting performance of a concentric Pd@SiO₂@TiO₂ core–shell nanostructure are systematically investigated using full-wave finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. The influence of key geometric parameters—including Pd core radius, SiO₂ spacer thickness, and TiO₂ shell thickness—is analyzed through spectral characteristics and solar-weighted metrics, namely the Solar Overlap Integral (SOI) and Absorbed Photon Flux (APF). The MIS architecture induces plasmon hybridization, giving rise to antibonding and bonding modes that extend absorption into the near-UV and visible regions. The SiO₂ spacer plays a dual role by suppressing interfacial losses while regulating near-field coupling, yielding an optimal thickness of ~ 2 nm for maximizing solar-weighted performance. Increasing both the TiO₂ shell thickness and Pd core size leads to a monotonic enhancement in absolute SOI and APF, driven by increased absorption volume, stronger plasmonic response, and improved spectral alignment with solar irradiance. In contrast, volume-normalized metrics reveal different optimal conditions. Thinner TiO₂ shells exhibit higher intrinsic efficiency due to effective utilization of the active semiconductor region. Similarly, the normalized SOI and APF show a clear optimum at a Pd core radius of ~ 30 nm, reflecting a balance between enhanced plasmonic coupling and efficient energy localization within the TiO₂ shell. The combined analysis of absolute and normalized performance metrics highlights a fundamental trade-off between total photon harvesting and intrinsic efficiency. These findings establish clear design guidelines for optimizing plasmon–semiconductor coupling in MIS nanostructures and provide a quantitative framework for evaluating and engineering solar-driven optical absorption and photon utilization, which are indicative of enhanced carrier generation potential rather than direct measures of photocatalytic efficiency.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":736,"journal":{"name":"Plasmonics","volume":"21 7","pages":"3227 - 3245"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148878139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
