Plasmonic Conglobation of Ultrathin Ag Nanofilms Far below Their Melting Points by Infrared Illumination

Plasmon heating has been employed as a low-temperature annealing method for the conglobation of ultrathin Ag nanofilms into nanoparticles both on silicon and carbon spheres, with complex surface structures, simply under illumination with infrared light. Finite-difference time-domain results provide...
