Enhancement of the magneto-optical activity via surface plasmon resonance on Au-Co nanocomposite thin films

Yang K., Clavero C., Skuza J., Lukaszew R.A., College of William and Mary, US

We find that the Au-Co nanocomposite thin films grown at 300 ºC, which exhibit segregate nano-cluster microstructure and smooth surface capable of SPP propagation, exhibit largest magneto-optical effects than the films grown at lower and [...]

Self-Assembly and Integration of Ordered, Robust, Three-Dimensional Gold Nanocrystal/Metal Oxide Superlattices

Fan H-Y, Yang K., Gabaldon J.P., Boye D.M., Sigmon T., Malloy K.J., Brinker C.J., Sandia National Laboratories, US

In this presentation, we will report a simple and general method to synthesize ordered, three-dimensional, transparent gold NC/silica superlattices through self-assembly of water-soluble gold NC-micelles and soluble silica under controlled kinetic conditions. NC-micelles were synthesized [...]
