Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Study of Silver Nanoparticles Thin Films on a Moissanite: From simulation, Fabrication to Characterization

The fabrication and characterization of silver nanoparticle (Ag NPs) thin films on a moissanite (silicon carbide) substrate and their inherent localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties were investigated in this study. The preliminary phase of this investigation employed Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations to anticipate the LSPR effects and the resultant hue of the films. The size of the silver nanoparticles was maintained within a range of 10-25 nm, producing a greenish yellow hue attributed to the LSPR effect. Two methods were harnessed to produce these size-specific Ag NP films. The first approach involved a dual-target co-sputtering technique utilizing silver and silicon dioxide. It prompted the spontaneous formation of Ag NPs, leading to a visible coloration due to the LSPR effect. The other method involved a single-target sputtering of silver, followed by an annealing process to foster the emergence of Ag NPs, yielding a characteristic color induced by the LSPR effect.
