Abstract

Acoustic oscillations were observed in ultrafast transient absorption of nanostructured Ag films produced by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD). The oscillations are attributed to modulations of localized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) bands that naturally arise in the PEALD films and can be described as two lateral modes (∼50 and 100 GHz) with different dephasing times. Contributions from electron-phonon coupling and lattice dynamics in the transient response vary systematically with the probe wavelength relative to the SPR maximum (500–1000 nm).
