Thermoplasmonics of Ag Nanoparticles in a Variable-Temperature

Silver
represents, by and large, the best plasmonic metal available,
due to its very low optical losses in a broad photon-energy range
encompassing all the visible optical spectrum. Its performances are,
more often than not, severely hampered by the presence of a few-nanometer
thick surface-tarnish layer; thermal annealing under high-vacuum (HV)
conditions may however lead to its decomposition, thereby allowing
to attain the clean-metal response. Here, we report an experimental
investigation of the temperature dependence of the plasmonic response
of Ag nanoparticles, either clean or tarnished, by means of in situ optical spectroscopies under HV conditions. For
tarnished nanoparticles, we observed the temperature dynamics of thermal
decomposition of the contamination layer in real time and compared
it with the corresponding behavior of spatially extended, flat surfaces.
For clean Ag nanoparticles we witness instead a remarkable temperature
invariance of the localized-plasmon response, indicating Ag as a potential
candidate for temperature-invariant thermoplasmonics applications.
