摘要
In this work, the optical absorption spectra of carbon-nickel films annealed at different temperatures（300-1000 ℃） with a special emphasis on the surface plasmon resonance（SPR） were investigated. The films were grown on quartz substrates by radio-frequency（RF）magnetron co-sputtering at room temperature with a deposition time of 600 s. The optical absorption peaks due to the SPR of Ni particle are observed in the wavelength range of 300-330 nm. With annealing temperature increasing up to 500 ℃ due to the increase in Ni particle size, the intensity of the SPR peaks increases, but weakens with annealing temperature increasing over 500 ℃. The Ni nanoparticle size, the dielectric function of carbon matrix（ε_m） and the plasma frequency of the free electrons（ω_p） at500 ℃have the maximum values of 21.63 nm, 0.471 and5.26 9 10^（15）s^（-1）, respectively. The absorption peak shows a redshift trend up to 500 ℃and then turn to blueshift with annealing temperature increasing over 500 ℃ These observations are in a good agreement with the electrical measurements in temperature range of 15-520 K and the Maxwell-Garnett（M-G） effective medium theory（EMT）.
