Influence of Interface Thermal Resistance on Relaxation Dynamics of Metal-Dielectric Nanocomposite Materials under Ultrafast Pulse Laser Excitation
Nanocomposite materials, including noble metal nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric host medium, are interesting because of their optical properties linked to surface plasmon resonance phenomena. For studding of nonlinear optical properties and/or energy transfer process, these materials may be excited by ultrashort pulse laser with a temporal width varying from some femtoseconds to some hund...
متن کاملGeneration of sub-30-fs microjoule mid-infrared pulses for ultrafast vibrational dynamics at solid/liquid interfaces.
We describe temporal compression of ultrabroadband, few microjoule mid-infrared (mid-IR) pulses from a noncollinear optical parametric amplifier (NOPA) employed in a sum-frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopic system, operating in total-internal-reflection geometry. The propagation of the mid-IR beam through optical materials results in a significant temporal chirp at the probed in...
متن کاملStudy of Photo-Conductivity in MoS2 Thin Films Grown in Low-Temperature Aqueous Solution Bath
An experimental study over the optical response of thin MoS2 films grownby chemical bath deposition (CBD) method is presented. As two important factors, theeffect of bath temperature and growth time are considered on the photocurrentgeneration in the grown samples. The results show that increasing the growth time leadsto better optical response and higher difference betw...
متن کاملNonlinear optics of random metal-dielectric films
Surface-enhanced optical nonlinearities are studied in a semicontinuous film consisting of metal granules randomly distributed on an insulating substrate. The local fields are very inhomogeneous in such films and consist of strongly localized sharp peaks. In peaks ~‘‘hot’’ spots!, the local fields exceed the applied field by several orders of magnitudes resulting in giant enhancements of the op...
متن کاملGrowth, morphology, and optical and electrical properties of semicontinuous metallic films
The growth and optical properties of semicontinuous silver films on insulator substrates were studied experimentally and theoretically. In the experimental studies, films were synthesized by the pulsed-laser deposition technique, characterized by electron microscopy and in situ optical and dc electrical resistance measurements and studied using near-field optical microscopy. The percolation thr...
