Broadband Transient Response and Wavelength-Tunable Photoacoustics in Plasmonic Hetero-nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: The optically driven acoustic modes and nonlinear response of plasmonic nanoparticles are important in many applications, but are strongly resonant, which restricts their excitation to predefined wavelengths. Here, we demonstrate that multilayered spherical plasmonic hetero-nanoparticles, formed by alternating layers of gold and silica, provide a platform for a broadband nonlinear optical response from visible to near-infrared wavelengths. They also act as a tunable optomechanical system with mechanically decoupled layers in which different acoustic modes can be selectively switched on/off by tuning the excitation wavelength. These observations not only expand the knowledge about the internal structure of composite plasmonic nanoparticles but also allow for an additional degree of freedom for controlling their nonlinear optical and mechanical properties.

Tunable plasmonic core-shell heterostructure design for broadband light driven catalysis.

Project description:Considerable effort has been devoted to manipulating the optical absorption of metal nanostructures for diverse applications. However, it still remains a challenge to develop a general and flexible method to promote broadband absorption of metal nanostructures without changing their size and shape. Here, we report a new strategy of hybridizing two conceptually different optical models to realize broadband absorption enhancement of metal nanoparticles (NPs), which is enabled by constructing a core-shell heterostructure, consisting of a spherical dielectric core covered by a metal NPs interlayer and tunable semiconductor shell. This approach integrates the interfacial photon management, photoexcitation of metal NPs and injection of hot charge carriers into the semiconductor shell, and results in distinctly enhanced hot charge carrier generation and transfer, thereby boosting the broad-spectrum light driven catalysis. The structure-plasmon-catalysis interplay of the heterostructure is comprehensively studied and optimized. This proof-of-concept proves to be generally feasible by varying the type of both metal NPs and support medium, opening a new avenue to control the optoelectronic properties of materials.

Rational Assembly of Optoplasmonic Hetero-nanoparticle Arrays with Tunable Photonic-Plasmonic Resonances.

Project description:Metallic and dielectric nanoparticles (NPs) have synergistic electromagnetic properties but their positioning into morphologically defined hybrid arrays with novel optical properties still poses significant challenges. A template-guided self-assembly strategy is introduced for the positioning of metallic and dielectric NPs at pre-defined lattice sites. The chemical assembly approach facilitates the fabrication of clusters of metallic NPs with interparticle separations of only a few nanometers in a landscape of dielectric NPs positioned hundreds of nanometers apart. This approach is used to generate two-dimensional interdigitated arrays of 250 nm diameter TiO2 NPs and clusters of electromagnetically strongly coupled 60 nm Au NPs. The morphologydependent near- and far-field responses of the resulting multiscale optoplasmonic arrays are analyzed in detail. Elastic and inelastic scattering spectroscopy in combination with electromagnetic simulations reveal that optoplasmonic arrays sustain delocalized photonic-plasmonic modes that achieve a cascaded E-field enhancement in the gap junctions of the Au NP clusters and simultaneously increase the E-field intensity throughout the entire array.

Broadband giant nonlinear response using electrically tunable polaritonic metasurfaces.

Project description:Intersubband transitions in semiconductor heterostructures offer a way to achieve large and designable nonlinearities with dynamic modulation of intersubband energies through the Stark effect. One promising approach for incorporating these nonlinearities into free space optics is a nonlinear polaritonic metasurface, which derives resonant coupling between intersubband nonlinearities and optical modes in nanocavities. Recent work has shown efficient frequency mixing at low pumping intensities, with the ability to electrically tune the phase, amplitude, and spectral peak of it. However, the spectral tunability of intersubband nonlinearities is constrained by the static spectral response of nanocavities. To overcome this limitation, we present nonlinear polaritonic metasurfaces for a broadband giant nonlinear response. This is achieved by combining a Stark tunable nonlinear response from a quantum-engineered semi-conductor heterostructure with arrays of three nanocavities with different resonant wavelengths. We experimentally demonstrate broadband second harmonic generation (SHG) and a shift in the peak SHG efficiency within the range of 8.9-10.6 μm by applying bias voltage. This work will provide a promising route for achieving broadband and electrically tunable nonlinearities in metasurfaces.

Broadband Tunable, Polarization-Selective and Directional Emission of (6,5) Carbon Nanotubes Coupled to Plasmonic Crystals.

Project description:We demonstrate broadband tunability of light emission from dense (6,5) single-walled carbon nanotube thin films via efficient coupling to periodic arrays of gold nanodisks that support surface lattice resonances (SLRs). We thus eliminate the need to select single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with different chiralities to obtain narrow linewidth emission at specific near-infrared wavelengths. Emission from these hybrid films is spectrally narrow (20-40 meV) yet broadly tunable (∼1000-1500 nm) and highly directional (divergence <1.5°). In addition, SLR scattering renders the emission highly polarized, even though the SWNTs are randomly distributed. Numerical simulations are applied to correlate the increased local electric fields around the nanodisks with the observed enhancement of directional emission. The ability to control the emission properties of a single type of near-infrared emitting SWNTs over a wide range of wavelengths will enable application of carbon nanotubes in multifunctional photonic devices.

Ultra-broadband Tunable Resonant Light Trapping in a Two-dimensional Randomly Microstructured Plasmonic-photonic Absorber.

Project description:Recently, techniques involving random patterns have made it possible to control the light trapping of microstructures over broad spectral and angular ranges, which provides a powerful approach for photon management in energy efficiency technologies. Here, we demonstrate a simple method to create a wideband near-unity light absorber by introducing a dense and random pattern of metal-capped monodispersed dielectric microspheres onto an opaque metal film; the absorber works due to the excitation of multiple optical and plasmonic resonant modes. To further expand the absorption bandwidth, two different-sized metal-capped dielectric microspheres were integrated into a densely packed monolayer on a metal back-reflector. This proposed ultra-broadband plasmonic-photonic super absorber demonstrates desirable optical trapping in dielectric region and slight dispersion over a large incident angle range. Without any effort to strictly control the spatial arrangement of the resonant elements, our absorber, which is based on a simple self-assembly process, has the critical merits of high reproducibility and scalability and represents a viable strategy for efficient energy technologies.

Rapid-response low infrared emission broadband ultrathin plasmonic light absorber.

Project description:Plasmonic nanostructures can significantly advance broadband visible-light absorption, with absorber thicknesses in the sub-wavelength regime, much thinner than conventional broadband coatings. Such absorbers have inherently very small heat capacity, hence a very rapid response time, and high light power-to-temperature sensitivity. Additionally, their surface emissivity can be spectrally tuned to suppress infrared thermal radiation. These capabilities make plasmonic absorbers promising candidates for fast light-to-heat applications, such as radiation sensors. Here we investigate the light-to-heat conversion properties of a metal-insulator-metal broadband plasmonic absorber, fabricated as a free-standing membrane. Using a fast IR camera, we show that the transient response of the absorber has a characteristic time below 13 ms, nearly one order of magnitude lower than a similar membrane coated with a commercial black spray. Concurrently, despite the small thickness, due to the large absorption capability, the achieved absorbed light power-to-temperature sensitivity is maintained at the level of a standard black spray. Finally, we show that while black spray has emissivity similar to a black body, the plasmonic absorber features a very low infra-red emissivity of almost 0.16, demonstrating its capability as selective coating for applications with operating temperatures up to 400°C, above which the nano-structure starts to deform.

Facile aqueous synthesis of hollow dual plasmonic hetero-nanostructures with tunable optical responses through nanoscale Kirkendall effects.

Project description:Herein, we report the colloidal synthesis of hollow dual-plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) using Au@Cu2O core-shell NPs as templates and exploiting the nanoscale Kirkendall effect. In our synthesis, we used organic compounds as a source of chalcogenide ions for an anion exchange reaction at elevated temperatures using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a capping reagent to transform the solid Cu2O shell into a hollow copper chalcogenide shell. The resulting structures possess different features depending on the chalcogenide precursor employed. TEM images confirm the complete transformation of Au@Cu2O templates when 1,1-dimethyl-2-selenourea was added and the formation of hollow Au@Cu2-x Se nanostructures. In contrast, residues of Cu2O attached to the Au core were present when thioacetamide was used for the synthesis of Au@Cu2-x S with all other conditions kept the same. The divergence of architectures caused distinct optical properties of Au@Cu2-x S and Au@Cu2-x Se NPs. This synthetic approach is an effective pathway for maneuvering the size of interior voids by varying the concentration of chalcogenide ions in the reaction mixture. The insights gained from this work will enrich the synthetic toolbox at the nanoscale and guide us on the rational design of multicomponent plasmonic nanoparticles with precisely controlled hollow interiors and sophisticated geometries, further enhancing our capabilities to fine-tune the electronic, optical, compositional, and physicochemical properties.

Thermally Stable Magneto-Plasmonic Nanoparticles for SERS with Tunable Plasmon Resonance.

Project description:Bifunctional magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles that exhibit synergistically magnetic and plasmonic properties are advanced substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) because of their excellent controllability and improved detection potentiality. In this study, composite magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@AgNPs) were formed by mixing colloid solutions of 50 nm-sized magnetite nanoparticles with 13 nm-sized silver nanoparticles. After drying of the layer of composite Fe3O4@AgNPs under a strong magnetic field, they outperformed the conventional silver nanoparticles during SERS measurements in terms of signal intensity, spot-to-spot, and sample-to-sample reproducibility. The SERS enhancement factor of Fe3O4@AgNP-adsorbed 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) was estimated to be 3.1 × 107 for a 633 nm excitation. In addition, we show that simply by changing the initial volumes of the colloid solutions, it is possible to control the average density of the silver nanoparticles, which are attached to a single magnetite nanoparticle. UV-Vis and SERS data revealed a possibility to tune the plasmonic resonance frequency of Fe3O4@AgNPs. In this research, the plasmon resonance maximum varied from 470 to 800 nm, suggesting the possibility to choose the most suitable nanoparticle composition for the particular SERS experiment design. We emphasize the increased thermal stability of composite nanoparticles under 532 and 442 nm laser light irradiation compared to that of bare Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The Fe3O4@AgNPs were further characterized by XRD, TEM, and magnetization measurements.
