Linear and non linear optical properties surface plasmon resonance and surface scaling behaviour of nanostructured cu thin films fabricated via pld technique

Abstract

The present thesis is aimed towards the fabrication and characterization of semitransparent nanostructured copper thin films deposited on the glass substrate via pulsed laser deposition technique The linear as well as nonlinear optical properties and surface plasmon resonance characteristics of Cu thin films have been studied These properties were correlated with the size and shape of the nanoparticles surface morphology growth dynamics and stoichiometry of the film The two sets of nanostruc...
