Abstract :
We demonstrate a fabrication of ferroelectric optical nanocomposite thick films by aerosol deposition method (ADM) and report their highly enhanced optical and electrical characteristics. Nanocomposite gold / PZT 3-??m-thick films acquired the enhanced surface plasmon resonance at a wavelength of 640 nm as well as the enhanced electrical properties. The strength and the position of surface plasmon resonance at the nanocomposite films deposited by ADM could be controlled by adjusting the concentration and the shape of nanogold in the host matrix.
