Copper sulphide (covellite) nanoplatelets have emerged as a plasmonic platform in the near-infrared with ultrafast nonlinear optical properties. The free-carrier density in CuS can be further tuned by chemical doping, using ion exchange to replace Cu with increasing content of Zn in the nanoparticles. This approach provides new opportunities for tuning the plasmonic response of covellite nanocrystals and the carrier relaxation time.
Copper sulphide (covellite) nanoplatelets have recently emerged as a plasmonic platform in the near-infrared with ultrafast nonlinear optical properties. Here we demonstrate that the free-carrier density in CuS, which is an order of magnitude lower than in traditional plasmonic metals, can be further tuned by chemical doping. Using ion exchange to replace Cu with an increasing content of Zn in the nanoparticles, the free-hole density can be lowered, resulting in a long-wavelength shift of the localised plasmon resonances from 1250 nm to 1750 nm. The proposed approach provides new opportunities for tuning the plasmonic response of covellite nanocrystals as well as the carrier relaxation time which decreases for lower free-carrier densities.
