Optical properties of closely packed nanoparticle films: spheroids and nanoshells
نویسنده
چکیده
We have developed an effective medium theory for the optical properties of nanoparticle films by considering the exact local fields of spheroidal nanoparticles on a substrate. The model allows the calculation of reflectivity, transmission and absorption of nanoparticle films for a wide range of filling factors, nanoparticle aspect ratios and substrate dielectric characteristics. It is suitable for many applications as it can treat films of homogeneous or binary core-shell nanoparticles.

Optical properties of multilayer-polyelectrolyte films with incorporated gold nanomaterials (solid nanoparticles and hollow nanoshells)
The growth of various multilayer‐polymer multilayer‐nanoparticle films was successfully achieved. Multilayer‐polymer multilayer‐nanoparticle films with 1, 3, and 5 polymer layers between nanoparticle layers exhibit significantly different optical properties due to the differences in magnitude of particle plasmon coupling. These film systems were also successfully extended to hollow gold nanosh...
متن کاملStructural phase transition as the mechanism of an optical nonlinearity in a nanoparticle film
Optical control of phase coexistence, previously used as a mechanism for achieving a nonlinearity at planar gallium/glass interfaces, can be exploited as a nonlinear response mechanism in a metallic nanoparticle film. Experimental measurements of the reflective and transmissive nonlinear response of a gallium nanoparticle film, manufactured on the tip of an optical fibre using the light-assiste...

Antibacterial properties of TiO2, ZnO as well as mixed TiO2-ZnO nanoparticles coated low density polyethylene films on Staphylococcus aureus PTCC1112 were investigated. Bactericidal efficiency of 0.5, 1 and 2 Wt% for TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles and also 1 Wt% mixed TiO2-ZnO nanoparticles with TiO2:ZnO ratios of 25:75, 50:50 and 75:25 were tested under UV and fluorescent lights exposure at two di...
متن کاملStructural, Optical and Defect State Analyses of ZnO Nanoparticle Films
Synthesis of ZnO nanostructures films by a co-precipitation followed by the deposition processed onto a glass substrate by spin-coating technique was carried out. The effect of annealing temperatures (from 250 to 325 °C for 30 min) on the structural and optical properties of the ZnO films have been investigated. The structural studies reveal that ZnO films are polycrystalline with hexagonal wur...
