Abstract: C1.00045 : Complex fluids with robustly tunable optical properties: experiments and theory
Author:
Fluids with tunable optical properties are of fundamental and
practical
interest. They can be easily processed to manufacture thin films and
interfaces for applications such as molecular detection and light
trapping
in photovoltaics. We use solution phase self-assembly to uniformly
distribute various metallic nanoparticles to produce stable
suspensions with
localized, multiple wavelength or broad-band optical properties.
Their
spectral response can be robustly modified by varying the species,
concentration, size and/or shape of the nanoparticles. Spectral
behavior for
finite particle concentrations can be predicted by an effective
medium
theory developed in this work. Structure, rheology and optical
properties of
these plasmonic suspensions as well as their potential
application to high
efficiency photovoltaics design will be discussed.
