Microstructure and optical properties of Si–Ag nanocomposite films prepared by co-sputtering

Novel composite thin films consisting of nanosized Ag particles embedded in an amorphous Si matrix were made with Ag contents from 0 at% to 61 at% by radio frequency co-sputtering of Si and Ag. The microstructure and optical properties of the films were characterized by conventional and high resolution transmission electron microscopy and spectrometry in the wavelength range from 200 to 1500 nm. It was found that the films consist of nanosized Ag particles (2.8–6.0 nm) particle and their clusters embedded in an amorphous Si matrix. The optical absorption spectra of the films up to 40 at% Ag exhibit characteristics similar to the amorphous semiconductor Si. At higher Ag contents two absorption maxima at 350 nm and 700 nm appear. Effective medium theories were examined to predict the optical properties of the films and it was found that the predictions from the Sheng Ping theory with a modified dielectric function of bulk Ag (taking into account the mean free path limitation of Ag particle boundaries) qualitatively agree with the measured absorption spectra. The two absorption maxima are accounted for as interfacial plasma resonance absorption associated with the silver particle/silicon matrix interfaces.     

Optoelectronic properties of sputter-deposited Cu2O-Ag-Cu2O treated with rapid thermal annealing

Cu₂O and two types of Cu₂O-Ag-Cu₂O (CAC) multilayered thin films were deposited on glass substrates using DC-magnetron sputtering. For CAC films, the mass thickness of Ag layer was controlled at 3 nm. After deposition, some of these films were annealed using a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) system at 650 °C, in order to create embedded Ag particles. AC films were used to study the clustering effect of Ag in Ar atmosphere, as well as for forming the 2nd type of CAC film by covering another Cu₂O layer on the annealed AC structure. A UV-VIS-NIR photometer, a Hall measurement system, and a I-V measurement system were used to characterize the optical and electrical properties of these films with and without RTA. The results show that 2-dimensional Ag layer can transform into many individual particles due to its high surface tension at annealing temperature, no matter when the annealing was carried out. For CAC films, without annealing, the optical transmission and the resistivity are decreased with the inserted Ag layer. After annealing, both the transmission and resistivity are increased, possibly due to the clustering effect of Ag layer. Most importantly, it is found that the embedded Ag particles can increase the light absorption in the NIR-IR region, which can increase photo-induced current.

Size variation and optical absorption of sol-gel Ag nanoparticles doped SiO2 thin film

In this research, we have focused on the formation of Ag nanoparticles dispersed in SiO₂ matrix using sol-gel method. The influences of the metal concentration on the size variation of Ag nanoparticles and the size effect on the surface plasmon absorption have been studied. Sol-gel silica thin films containing Ag particles were synthesized by dip-coating on soda-lime glasses. The molar ratio of Ag / Si was chosen from 0.2% to 8%. All films were dried in air at 100 °C for 1 h. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the Ag / Si ratios in the prepared films have been measured. In addition, it was shown that the prepared matrix was a stoichiometric composition as SiO₂, and the synthesized nanoparticles were mainly in the metallic state. Size and distribution of the nanoparticles were measured by high resolution scanning as well as transmission electron microscopy and also atomic force microscopy analyses for low and high Ag concentrations, respectively. We have found that by decreasing the Ag / Si ratio from 8 to 0.2 mol%, the particle size reduces from 95 to 4 nm with a nearly spherical shape. UV-visible spectrophotometry showed that the size reduction of the Ag nanoparticles for the Ag / Si molar ratios ranging from 8 to 0.2 mol% leads to an intensity reduction of the absorption peak and a blue shift from 460 to 410 nm.

Near-infrared absorption enhancement in microstructured silicon by Ag film deposition

We investigate the influence of spike-like microstructures formed on the silicon surface via fs-laser scanning with different-size on its near-infrared absorption from 1200 to 2500 nm. Although the infrared absorption of the small size microstructures is obviously lower than the large size, it can be further improved to 90 % by a large amount of random and irregular Ag nano particles from a subsequent deposition of Ag thin film. The origins of absorption enhancement are discussed and theoretically analyzed in detail.

Influence of the interaction between metal particles on optical properties of Ag-Si3N4 composite films. I. Experiment

Ag-Si3N4 composite films with metal fractions of 20% and 33% were prepared by magnetron sputtering. The Ag particles inside the composite films were less than 5 nm in radius. The optical absorption and near-field enhancement properties of the composite films were measured. On the plots of optical absorption, the extra absorption was observed as well as the surface plasmon resonance absorption. The intensity of the extra absorption depended on the particle size and metal fraction. Moreover, the composite films with higher extra absorption had better near-field enhancement properties. These phenomena were possibly related with the interaction between Ag particles in composite films.     

Influence of Nd dopant amount on microstructure and photoluminescence of TiO2:Nd thin films

TiO₂ and TiO₂:Nd thin films were deposited using reactive magnetron sputtering process from mosaic Ti–Nd targets with various Nd concentration. The thin films were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and spectroscopic techniques. Photoluminescence (PL) in the near infrared obtained upon 514.5 nm excitation was also examined. The relationship between the Nd concentration, structural, optical and photoluminescence properties of prepared thin films was investigated and discussed. XRD and TEM measurements showed that an increase in the Nd concentration in the thin films hinders the crystal growth in the deposited coatings. Depending on the Nd amount in the thin films, TiO₂ with the rutile, mixed rutile–amorphous or amorphous phase was obtained. Transmittance measurements revealed that addition of Nd dopant to titania matrix did not deteriorate optical transparency of the coatings, however it influenced on the position of the fundamental absorption edge and therefore on the width of optical band gap energy. All TiO₂:Nd thin films exhibited PL emission that occurred at ca. 0.91, 1.09 and 1.38 μm. Finally, results obtained for deposited coatings showed that titania with the rutile structure and 1.0 at.% of Nd was the most efficient in VIS to NIR photon conversion.     

Preparation of poly(acrylic)/SiO2/EuL3 x 2H2O, hybrid thin films from monodispersed colloidal silica

In this study, poly(acrylic)/SiO2/EuL3 x 2H2O hybrid thin films were prepared from various acrylic monomers (MMA and EDMA/TMPTA), lanthanide metal complexes (EuL3 x 2H2O, L = pyridine carboxylic acid), and monodispersed colloidal silica with a coupling agent, 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (MSMA). It is a combination of the sol-gel reaction, thermal polymerization, and spin coating. The silica content in the hybrid thin films is fixed at 20 wt%, and the EuL3 x 2H2O content is varied from 0.01 g to 0.07 g. FTIR and EA analysis confirms the chemical structure of the prepared EuL3 x 2H2O and poly(acrylic)/SiO2/EuL3 x 2H2O hybrid thin films. UV-Vis spectra and n&k analysis shows that the hybrid thin film has good transparency in visible light. The refractive index of hybrid thin films can be effectively controlled through the EuL3 x 2H2O content. The PL spectra shows that the strongest emission peak occurs at 615 nm and the emission intensity increases to the peak maximum at an EuL3 x 2H2O content of 0.05 g. Both TGA and PL analysis show that the prepared hybrid thin films from the crosslinked acrylic polymer moiety have much better film uniformity, thermal stability, and fluorescence properties. The TEM diagram shows that the MSMA/SiO2/EuL3 x 2H2O particles with a size 15-20 nm are well dispersed in the reaction solution. The SEM diagram shows that the particle distribution in the prepared hybrid thin films is uniform and no phase separation is observed. Finally, AFM analysis indicates that the prepared hybrid thin films have an excellent surface planarity.
