研究目的
To examine the extinction efficiency of the graphene coated non-equivalent Ag-Al alloy dimers, influenced by the fraction of the solute mass of aerosol droplets (FSMAD) using the Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA) technique.
研究成果
The study shows that graphene coated non-equivalent Ag-Al alloy dimers exhibit tunable plasmonic resonances with broad bonding modes in the visible to IR range, sensitive to inter-particle separation and humidity. This can enhance light trapping in solar cells under humid conditions, providing a strategy for improving photovoltaic efficiency.
研究不足
The study is based on numerical simulations using DDA, which may have approximations. It does not involve experimental validation. The FSMAD range is limited to 0-25%, and the model assumes specific dielectric properties and spherical shapes, which might not capture all real-world complexities.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA) as a numerical technique to simulate optical responses. The theoretical model involves Drude-Lorentz model for dielectric functions and Kubo formula for graphene conductivity.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples are non-equivalent graphene coated Ag-Al alloy dimers with varying core radii (5nm to 60nm) and fixed graphene shell thickness (0.4nm). Data on dielectric functions are taken from literature.
3：4nm). Data on dielectric functions are taken from literature.
List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: No physical equipment is used as it is a simulation study. Materials include silver-aluminum alloys and graphene monolayer.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The DDA method divides the geometry into dipoles, calculates dipole moments, and computes extinction, scattering, and absorption cross-sections. Simulations are performed for different FSMAD concentrations (0% to 25%) and inter-particle separations.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Analysis involves plotting extinction spectra, calculating resonance wavelengths, and evaluating electric field intensities using software like Mayavi2 for visualization.
