Gas-phase synthesis of plasmonic nanoparticles with robust high bandgap shell materials: A study of Cu@CaF2 with AI supported transmission electron microscopy analysis

Cu@CaF2 plasmonic nanoparticle (NP) films are physically synthesized, and their morphology, and electronic and optical properties are thoroughly investigated. Cu NPs are generated using a gas aggregation source assisted by magnetron sputtering, while CaF2 coatings are deposited b...
