Drude relaxation rate in grained gold nanoantennas.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of grain boundaries on the electron relaxation rate is significant even for large area noble metal films and more so for plasmonic nanostructures. Optical spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction show a substantial improvement in plasmon resonance quality for square-particle nanoantennas after annealing due to an enlarged grain size from 22 to 40 nm and improved grain boundaries described by the electron reflection coefficient. The electron relaxation rate due to the grains is shown to decrease by a factor of 3.2.

Dynamics of heavy fermions: Drude response in UPd2Al3 and UNi2Al3
While the effective mass of heavy fermions governs their thermodynamics, the optical properties are dominated by the characteristic relaxation rate which is expected to scale inversely with the effective mass. At the relaxation rate clear features, the so-called Drude response occur in the real and imaginary parts of the complex conductivity. Conventional optical spectroscopy can only indirectl...
متن کاملComparative study of DR Nanoantenna Array For Optical Frequencies
The frequency dependent complex permittivity of plasmonic materials is one of the most decisive parameters in their resonant characteristics. This work shows how the optical responses of gold (Au),and silver(Ag) optical nanoantennas are affected by their size, shape and their frequency dependent optical functions. The optical functions of these metals are described by the Drude-Lorentz model in...
متن کاملEffective absorption enhancement in dielectric thin-films with embedded paired-strips gold nanoantennas.
This study focuses on determining the optimized thickness of an absorbing thin-film with embedded gold nanoantennas, for absorption enhancement. Gold paired-strips nanoantennas with small gaps have been proposed for light trapping because of the high localized electric field in the gap due to resonance. Paired-strips nanoantennas with small gaps produce higher effective absorption compared to s...
متن کاملDeposition of Organic Molecules on Gold Nanoantennas for Sensing
The deposition of organic molecules on gold nanoantennas is reported through chemisorption for sensing in the midinfrared (mid-IR) spectral range. The specific nanostructures are gold asymmetric-split ring resonators (A-SRRs) based on circular-geometry with two different ‘arc’ lengths. The plasmonic resonant coupling technique was used to match the vibrational responses of the targeted molecule...
متن کاملAntibody-drug gold nanoantennas with Raman spectroscopic fingerprints for in vivo tumour theranostics.
Inspired by the ability of SERS nanoantennas to provide an integrated platform to enhance disease targeting in vivo, we developed a highly sensitive probe for in vivo tumour recognition with the capacity to target specific cancer biomarkers such as epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) on human cancer cells and xenograft tumour models. Here, we used ~90nm gold nanoparticles capped by a Raman...
