Abstract
Formation of Pt nanoparticles or nanoisland films as a function of annealing temperature, initial thickness, underlying substrates, and annealing process is investigated. Using microphotoluminescence (PL) measurement, we find great enhancement of self-emission in visible spectrum from Pt nanoparticles. The integral intensity of the micro-PL of the 49.38nm Pt nanoparticles is 38 times of that of the Pt thin film. In addition, the peak wavelength varies from 554to615nm as the surface morphology of Pt changes due to different annealing parameters. Spectral analyses suggest that this enhancement of micro-PL from Pt is due to the local field enhancement mechanism analogous to that of PL from noble metals.
