Physical Insight

Ag/Pd multilayers and AgPd alloyed ultrathin films were deposited on Corning glass by magnetron sputtering. After being annealed in a furnace in air at 460 °C, self-assembled nanoparticles were formed. Localized surface plasmon resonances were observed only for the Ag-rich samples in the full range of the visible light spectrum. The resonance position was found to depend on the initial film thickness. In order to gain further physical insight, rigorous theoretical calculations were carried out via the rigid coupled-wave analysis method for the entire compositional range between Ag and Pd. Theoretical calculations were proven to be in suitable agreement with the experimental results.

The plasmonic properties of asymmetric Au / SiO 2/ Au sandwiched cross-shape nanobars are investigated theoretically using the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) method. Two localized surface plasmon resonances are observed in the extinction spectra, which perform extreme sensitivity to the length and width of the nanobar and can be tuned easily throughout visible and into near-infrared spectral regions. The local electric fields around the nanobar are calculated and a pure electromagnetic Raman enhancement factor of about 106 can be achieved. In addition, compared to a monolayer gold nanobar, it exhibits more "hot spots" and stronger localized electric field enhancements. This plasmonic substrate provides potential applications in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and nonlinear optical devices.

This article describes the optical properties of nanostructures composed of silver particles embedded into a gold matrix. In previous studies these materials were shown to exhibit temperature dependent transitions to a highly conductive and strongly diamagnetic state. Here we describe the anomalous optical properties of these nanostructures. Most notably, these materials fail to obey Mie theory and exhibit an unconventional resonance with a maximum at about 4 eV, while the usual gold and silver localized surface plasmon resonances are suppressed. This effect implies a significant deviation from the bulk dielectric functions of gold and silver. We further resolved this resonance into its absorbance and scattering sub-parts. It is observed that the resonance is largely comprised of scattering, with negligible losses even at ultraviolet frequencies.
