Abstract
This study investigatesplasmon-exciton interactions within ZnO/AuNPs heterostructure films. Elemental, structural, and morphological analyses validate the successful formation of these films. The observed shift in the plasmonic resonance band and absorption edge otowards the red region the red region is attributed to strong surface plasmon damping influenced by exciton interactions within ZnO. Irradiation with blue light induces plasmonic electrons, generation in the ZnO/AuNPs film, enhancing electrical conductivity through interaction with ZnO excitonic states. UV light irradiating generates the electron-hole pair in the ZnO film and interacts with the free electrons in AuNPs. The ZnO/AuNPs heterostructure films hold promise for applications such as high-performance UV-photodetectors, photoactive layers in solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and energy storage devices.
