Abstract
The present research article demonstrates the findings of the fine tuning of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and the relationship between structural, optical and morphological properties of shock wave loaded silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The characteristics of structural, optical and morphological properties of Ag NPs are evaluated by powder XRD (X-ray powder diffraction), UV–Vis (ultra violet- visible) spectroscopy and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) technique, respectively. The test material of Ag NPs is subjected to the shock wave loading with 50,100 and 150 shock pulses, respectively. The PXRD results reveal that the degree of crystalline nature and grain size of the crystal is significantly reduced by the impact of shock waves. The UV–Visible spectrum reveals that the control Ag NPs absorption band at 514 nm has given rise to blue shift (514–403 nm) at 150 shock wave loaded samples. The SEM images reveal that the particle size is considerably reduced by the impact of shock waves with respect to number of shock waves. The tri-angle correlation of structural, optical and morphological properties of shock wave loaded Ag NPs is explored.
