Synthesis of composite films of mixed Ag-Cu nanocrystallites embedded in DLC matrix and associated surface plasmon properties
چکیده انگلیسی

Diamond-like carbon films containing Ag and Cu in nanocrystalline form were deposited onto SnO2-coated glass substrates by electrochemical technique. Relative amount of silver and copper to be incorporated in the DLC matrix was tailored by varying the amount of silver and copper containing salts in the electrolyte. Current density was adjusted to obtain films with different crystallite size while the volume fraction of the metal nanocrystallites was altered by varying the dilution of the solution containing the salts. Raman studies indicated the presence of two peaks located at ∼1350 cm−1 (D-line) and 1566 cm−1 (G-line) for all the films and the relative intensities of these peaks changed with the amount of metal incorporation in it. The FTIR spectra were seen to be dominated by a peak at 975 cm−1 for C-H out of plane deformation modes along with peaks for C-H bending, C-H stretching and C-C stretching modes at 858, 1113 and 1189 cm−1, respectively. The optical absorption spectra showed a single plasmon band instead of two characteristic bands for Ag and Cu. We ascribe this to nanophase limited interfacial alloying at the Ag-Cu interface. The experimental observation was analyzed in the light of Mie theory.
