Abstract
Stretched Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been obtained by photoelectric modification with room temperature. Significant elongation occurs on partial AgNPs with diameters ranging from 50 to 120 nm. For AgNPs with diameters larger than 120 nm, protuberances with sizes about 10 nm have been observed after photoelectric modification. Simulations based on finite difference time domain method have been used to reveal the process of the photoelectric modification. Such morphology changes of AgNPs can be attributed to the plasmonic phase transition and electric induced migration of Ag atoms at AgNPs surfaces. Due to the stretching of AgNPs, tunable plasmon resonances in visible spectrum have been obtained. This work could provide a new technology for the metallic nanostructure modification under low temperature.
