Abstract
An unusual almost flat broadband plasmonic absorption, ranging from 400 nm to well beyond 2500 nm , was observed in a 150 nm thin film of Ag nanoparticles embedded in a Teflon AF ® matrix. The nanocomposites were synthesized by a simple single-step vapor-phase codeposition method. The Ag nanoparticles of various sizes and shapes, and thus various resonance frequencies, form a fractal percolating network. The broadband absorption, attributed to plasmon excitations within the nanoparticles, could be useful for multicolor applications in the visible and infrared wavelengths region.
