Femtosecond response of a single metal nanoparticle.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ultrafast nonlinear optical response of a single metal nanoparticle is investigated by combining a high-sensitivity femtosecond pump-probe setup with a spatial modulation microscope. Experiments are performed on 20 and 30 nm silver nanospheres, in situ characterized via their optical linear extinction spectrum. The measured transient response permits investigation of the electron-phonon energy transfer time in a single nanoparticle. Its dependence on the electronic temperature is quantitatively interpreted using the two-temperature model.

Broadband near-field interference spectroscopy of metal nanoparticles using a femtosecond white-light continuum.
We demonstrate a new nanoscale spectroscopic technique that combines subwavelength near-field imaging with broadband interference spectroscopy. We apply this technique to study phase spectra of surface plasmons in individual gold nanoparticles and nanoparticle dimers. Collective plasmon oscillations in selected nanostructures are excited by a femtosecond white-light continuum transmitted throug...
متن کاملHot-Electron Intraband Luminescence from Single Hot Spots in Noble-Metal Nanoparticle Films.
Disordered noble-metal nanoparticle films exhibit highly localized and stable nonlinear light emission from subdiffraction regions upon illumination by near-infrared femtosecond pulses. Such hot spot emission spans a continuum in the visible and near-infrared spectral range. Strong plasmonic enhancement of light-matter interaction and the resulting complexity of experimental observations have p...
متن کاملEnhanced photoinduced desorption from metal nanoparticles by photoexcitation of confined hot electrons using femtosecond laser pulses.
Strong fluence dependence of photodesorption cross sections is observed in femtosecond laser photodesorption of NO from (NO)2 on silver nanoparticles, in contrast to femtosecond photodesorption on bulk metals. The time scale of excitation buildup is found to be equal or less than the pulse duration of ∼100 fs; NO translational energies are independent of fluence and pulse duration. We propose ...

In this paper, free and forced vibration of simply-supported Single-walled carbon nanotube is investigated under the moving nanoparticle by considering nonlocal cylindrical shell model. To validate the theoretical results, modal analysis of nanotube is conducted using ANSYS commercial software. Excellent agreement is exhibited between the results of two different methods. Furthermore, the dynam...
متن کاملAn electrodynamics-Langevin dynamics (ED-LD) approach to simulate metal nanoparticle interactions and motion.
Understanding the formation of electrodynamically interacting assemblies of metal nanoparticles requires accurate computational methods for determining the forces and propagating trajectories. However, since computation of electromagnetic forces occurs on attosecond to femtosecond timescales, simulating the motion of colloidal nanoparticles on milliseconds to seconds timescales is a challenging...
