Optical response of heterogeneous layer containing silver nanoparticles
Abstract
Metal nanoparticles are of considerable interest in various domains ranging from biology to chemistry or medicine. In physics, the field of light matter interaction is specially challenging. Our work is focused on the optical properties of silver nanostructures enclosed in a polymer host matrix. Their introduction in polymer thin films is assumed to result in layers with adaptable optical properties. Thin film layers with inclusions of differently shaped particles, such as nanospheres and nanoprisms, and of different sizes, are optically characterized. Nanoparticles are produced by simple chemical synthesis at room temperature in water. The plasmonic resonance peaks of the different colloidal solutions range from 390 to 1300 nm.
