On the Localized Surface Plasmonic Resonances of AgPd Alloy Nanoparticles by Experiment and Theory

Ag/Pd multilayers and AgPd alloyed ultrathin films were deposited on Corning glass by magnetron sputtering. After being annealed in a furnace in air at 460 °C, self-assembled nanoparticles were formed. Localized surface plasmon resonances were observed only for the Ag-rich samples in the full range...
