Abstract
The influences of deposition rate and alloying with aluminum (0 to 65 at.%) on the structure and optical properties of magnesium films on quartz are examined. Results show that increasing the deposition rate improves the plasmonic figure of merit (FOM) values, and decreases the surface roughness and grain size. Addition of Al to Mg blue shifts the localized surface plasmon (LSP) figure of merit peak position and improves LSP FOM values over portions of the ultraviolet (UV) region. Nanotriangles (NTs) of Mg and Mg-Al on quartz were fabricated using colloidal lithography. Mg-Al NTs show improved LSP resonance (LSPR) response compared to Mg particles due to improved structural integrity.
