Abstract

A simple approach has been developed for the synthesis of Au@CdS core-shell nanoparticles by a direct self-assembling process. Stable Au@CdS composite colloids were prepared by thiourea, as a double-functional reagent that acted as the linkage agent between Cd2+ ions and gold nanoparticles. The CdS-capped gold composite nanoparticles were successfully integrated into BaTiO3 films. A significant enhancement of third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility in the Au@CdS nanoparticles with core-shell structure is reported. To compare the effect of enhanced nonlinear response, single gold or CdS nanoparticles embedded in BaTiO3 films were also prepared.
