研究目的
Investigating the enhanced light absorption properties of a composite nanostructure by coating a monolayer graphene on a sandwich nanostructure (Ag nanoparticles–SiO2 film–Ag nanoparticles) fabricated via oblique angle deposition.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that coating a monolayer graphene on a sandwich nanostructure enhances light absorption in the visible range due to the interaction between graphene and nanoparticles plasmons. The enhancement is tunable by adjusting the size of nanoparticles and the thickness of the SiO2 film. This provides a simple and scalable method for fabricating plasmonic structures with potential applications in various fields.
研究不足
The study is limited by the fabrication technique's ability to control the size and distribution of Ag nanoparticles precisely. The enhancement factor of light absorption is dependent on the nanoparticle size and SiO2 film thickness, which may limit the tunability of the plasmon resonance.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the fabrication of a graphene-coated sandwich nanostructure (GASA) and its comparison with a sandwich nanostructure without graphene (ASA) to study the enhanced light absorption properties. The fabrication involves oblique angle deposition for the sandwich nanostructure and wet transfer method for graphene coating.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples include ASA and GASA on silicon or glass substrates. The size and distribution of Ag nanoparticles are analyzed using SEM and AFM.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
E-beam evaporator (DE 400, DE Technology Inc.) for Ag nanoparticles deposition, SEM and AFM for morphology analysis, UV–Vis spectra for absorption measurement.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The fabrication process includes deposition of Ag nanoparticles at an oblique angle, deposition of SiO2 film, and transfer of monolayer graphene onto the ASA structure. The optical properties are then measured and compared.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The absorption spectra are analyzed to compare the light absorption properties of ASA and GASA. Numerical simulations using COMSOL Multiphysics are performed to understand the mechanism of enhanced light absorption.
