Optical Properties of FeOCl Decorated by AuAg Alloy Nanoparticles Were Studied with Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy
摘要
We perform time-domain terahertz (THz) spectroscopy measurement to study the complex conductivity of layered FeOCl with and without surface noble metal adsorption. A weak THz transmission intensity is obtained in pristine layered FeOCl and the transmission coefficient comparable increases with the introduction of surface noble metal nanoparticle adsorption. The frequency-resolved complex conductivity of FeOCl samples with and without noble metal nanoparticle adsorption is further obtained from measured THz transmission intensity. Using the classical Drude-Smith model, we find significant increase of carrier density and decrease of carrier-carrier scattering time with surface noble metal nanoparticle adsorption. These results provide a possible way to improve the conductivity of layered FeOCl material for its potential applications in the field of two-dimensional electronics.
