Abstract

High-purity and size-controlled Rh nanocubes (RhNCs) with plasmonic responses in the ultraviolet spectrum range were synthesized; the ultraviolet plasmonic features of RhNCs have potential applications in wide bandgap semiconductors and optoelectronic devices because of their optical tunability and stability, as well as the compatibility with neighboring semiconductor micro/nanostructures. In this work, by incorporating RhNCs, the near-band-edge emission of a single ZnO microwire is considerably enhanced. When optically pumped by a fs pulsed laser at room temperature, RhNCs-plasmon enhanced high-performance whispering gallery mode (WGM) lasing characteristics, including lower lasing threshold, higher Q-factor, and lasing output enhancement, can be achieved from a single ZnO microwire covered by RhNCs. To further probe the modulation effect of RhNCs plasmons on the lasing characteristics of the ZnO microwires, time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) and electromagnetic simulation analyses were also performed. Based on our results, it can be concluded that size-controlled RhNCs with ultraviolet energy-tunable plasmons have the potential for use in optoelectronic devices requiring stable and high-performance in the short wavelength...Continue Reading
