Tracking Energy Relaxation Within Plasmonic Metal Oxide Nanocrystals
Abstract
The objective of this research is to determine the key factors that dictate the optical response of localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) within plasmonic thin films and to identify the primary paths through which these excitations can selectively funnel energy into their local environment. This work will quantify the fundamental energy relaxation pathways that shape the behavior of individual transparent conductive oxide (TCO) nanocrystals, assess the ability of TCOs to transfer energy to their ligand shell in the form of molecular vibrations, and determine how these are influenced by TCO size, internal composition, and surface structure.
