Abstract

Size-aligned gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) of 5, 10, and 20 nm were attached on aluminum-doped zinc oxide (Al-ZnO) substrates chemically using for the first time 3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane as a linker molecule. By using these substrates, we present the pump-probe studies of the AuNPs deposited on the Al-ZnO with the different particle sizes and inter-particle distances. The obtained results may be a consequence of interaction of surface Plasmon resonances with the intra-band contributions to the nonlinear optical susceptibilities and to the interactions with the phonons.
