Surface Plasmon Resonance Enhanced Faraday Rotation in Fe3O4/Ag Nanoparticles Doped Diamagnetic Glass

Diamagnetic TeO2-PbO-B2O3 glasses were melt-quenching fabricated and characterized for Fe3O4/Ag nanoparticles doping through radio-frequency sputtering and thermal treatment techniques. The surface plasmon resonance influenced structure, composition, optical, and magneto optical properties of Fe3O4/Ag doped glasses were investigated through XRD, SEM, XPS analysis, and Faraday rotation measurement. The optimized sputtering and thermal conditions Fe3O4 and Ag nanoparticles were obtained. Under the optimized conditions, a great enhancement of Faraday rotation, thermal property, and big UV cutoff red-shift due to the excited surface plasma’s resonance effect was achieved in diamagnetic glass.
