AbstractIn this work, carbon-nickel films were grown during four deposition times (50 s, 90 s, 180 s and 600 s) at room temperature on glass substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The optical absorption spectra of the films were investigated with a special emphasis on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of Ni nanoparticles. The optical absorption peaks caused by the surface plasmon resonance of Ni nanoparticles were observed in the wavelength range of 300 nm to 330 nm. It has been shown that the surface plasmon resonance peaks exhibit a red shift and a blue shift depending on the deposition time. The red and blue shifts of the surface plasmon resonance in the absorption spectra of the films were observed with the increase and decrease of Ni nanoparticle size, respectively. The Ni nanoparticle size, dielectric function of carbon matrix εm and plasma frequency of free electrons ωp for the films deposited at deposition time of 180 s have maximum values of 80 nm, 0.401 and 7.25 × 1015 s–1, respectively. These observations are in a good agreement with the electrical resistivity measurements and Maxwell-Garnett (M-G) effective medium theory (EMT).

The determination of optical constants (i.e., real and imaginary parts of the complex refractive index (nc) and thickness (d)) of ultrathin films is often required in photonics. It may be done by using, for example, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy combined with either profilometry or atomic force microscopy (AFM). SPR yields the optical thickness (i.e., the product of nc and d) of the film, while profilometry and AFM yield its thickness, thereby allowing for the separate determination of nc and d. In this paper, we use SPR and profilometry to determine the complex refractive index of very thin (i.e., 58 nm) films of dye-doped polymers at different dye/polymer concentrations (a feature which constitutes the originality of this work), and we compare the SPR results with those obtained by using spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements performed on the same samples. To determine the optical properties of our film samples by ellipsometry, we used, for the theoretical fits to experimental data, Bruggeman’s effective medium model for the dye/polymer, assumed as a composite material, and the Lorentz model for dye absorption. We found an excellent agreement between the results obtained by SPR and ellipsometry, confirming that SPR is appropriate for measuring the optical properties of very thin coatings at a single light frequency, given that it is simpler in operation and data analysis than spectroscopic ellipsometry.

The near-field enhancement and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) on the core-shell noble metal nanostructure surfaces are widely studied for various biomedical applications. However, the study of the optical properties of new plasmonic non-spherical nanostructures is less explored. This numerical study quantifies the optical properties of spherical and non-spherical (prolate and oblate) dimer nanostructures by introducing finite element modelling in COMSOL Multiphysics. The surface plasmon resonance peaks of gold nanostructures should be understood and controlled for use in biological applications such as photothermal therapy and drug delivery. In this study, we find that non-spherical prolate and oblate gold dimers give excellent tunability in a wide range of biological windows. The electromagnetic field enhancement and surface plasmon resonance peak can be tuned by varying the aspect ratio of non-spherical nanostructures, the refractive index of the surrounding medium, shell thickness, and the distance of separation between nanostructures. The absorption spectra exhibit considerably greater dependency on the aspect ratio and refractive index than the shell thickness and separation distance. These results may be essential for applying the spherical and non-spherical nanostructures to various absorption-based applications.

Work Effect

In this work, effect of Li2O and Na2O on bismuth borate glasses have been investigated. The glass samples were prepared in composition 44B2O3 : 50Bi2O3 : 5Li2O : 1A2O3 and 44B2O3 : 50Bi2O3 : 5Na2O3 : 1A2O3 (where A2O3= Sm2O3 and Dy2O3).Glasses were prepared using the melt-quenching technique at 1,100 oc under normal atmosphere. The result found that, the density and molar volume of lithium bismuth borate glasses are less than sodium bismuth borate glasses both in Sm2O3 and Dy2O3. In addition, the optical absorption spectra and luminescence of lithium bismuth borate glasses are higher than sodium bismuth borate glasses both in Sm2O3 and Dy2O3.
