概要(目的・用途・実施内容)/ Abstract (Aim, Use Applications and Contents)

In recent years, it has been reported that the quantum coherence occurs due to the strong coupling by using a nanocavity composed by Au nanodisks on the TiO2/Au-film. Based on the previous research, we fabricated various kinds of nanocavities and the energy distribution of the plasmon-excited hot electrons of these nanocavities is systematically investigated by combining the femtosecond pulsed laser and the photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM).

実験 / Experimental

The TiO2 and Au film were deposited by the atomic layer deposition (ALD) and the helicon sputtering, separately. The nanoblocks of different metals, including Au, Ag, and Pt,  were fabricated by the electron-beam lithography followed by multi-sputtering. The topography is measured by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The near field spectra and the energy distribution of the samples was investigated by PEEM which is combined with a femtosecond pulsed laser system.

結果と考察 / Results and Discussion

To investigate the energy distribution of the plasmon-excited hot electrons, the Au, Ag, and Pt nanoblocks were prepared as the model system and measured by PEEM. Corresponding to the wavelength of the excitation laser, the size of the Au, Ag, and Pt nanoblocks were optimized in the range of 170nm-230nm, 150nm-210nm and 140nm-200nm respectively. The near field spectra were measured by exiting the Au, Ag, and Pt nanoblocks with a laser beam of the wavelength of 700nm-900nm. And it is found that the intensity and the peak position are strongly related to the kinds of the metals and the size of the nanoblocks.  Then energy spectra were obtained by exiting the nanoblocks with a home-arranged femtosecond pulsed two-color pump-probe laser system. The different kinds of metals showed different energy distribution, which helps us to further understand the mechanism of the strong coupling process of the nanocavity.
