The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) properties of Au/Au(x)Ag(1-x) core/alloy nanoparticles (NPs) have been investigated by means of the discrete dipole approximation. The core/alloy microstructure was varied by changing the shell alloy composition x, its thickness t(S), and the shell thickness to core radius ratio (t(S)/r(C)) in the range of 0.05-1.0. These changes resulted in a novel tuning of SPR shape, frequency, and extinction. These models were compared with experimental results for Au/Au(x)Ag(1-x) NPs prepared by a microwave-mediated hydrothermal processing method, which produces core/alloy NPs with SPR signatures closely resembling those of the models.
通过离散偶极近似法研究了金/金(x)银(1 - x)核/合金纳米颗粒(NPs)的表面等离子体共振(SPR)特性。通过改变壳层合金成分x、壳层厚度t(S)以及壳层厚度与核半径之比(t(S)/r(C))(范围为0.05 - 1.0)来改变核/合金微观结构。这些变化导致了SPR形状、频率和消光的新型调谐。将这些模型与通过微波介导水热法制备的金/金(x)银(1 - x)纳米颗粒的实验结果进行了比较,该方法制备的核/合金纳米颗粒的SPR特征与模型的SPR特征非常相似。
