Au-NR/VO2-NP nanocomposites supported on glass substrates: microstructure and optical properties†
Abstract
On-glass-substrate gold nanorods (Au-NRs) are processed via electrodeposition into anodized alumina template films that were fabricated using an Al/Au/Ti film stack on glass. The Au-NRs are capped with VO2 nanoparticles obtained from sputtered vanadium caps. The nanostructure arrays show intense plasmon resonance and are thermochromic with VO2 size dependent transition temperature.
