Pulsed laser-induced dewetting (PLiD) of Ag_0.5N_i0.5 thin films results in phase-separated bimetallic nanoparticles with size distributions that depend on the initial thin film thickness. Co-sputtering of Ag and Ni is used to generate the as-deposited (AD) nanogranular supersaturated thin films. The magnetic and optical properties of the AD thin films and PLiD nanoparticles are characterized using a vibrating sample magnetometer, optical absorption spectroscopy, and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Magnetic measurements demonstrate that Ag_0.5Ni_0.5 nanoparticles are ferromagnetic at room temperature when the nanoparticle diameters are >20 nm and superparamagnetic <20 nm. Optical measurements show that all nanoparticle size distributions possess a local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak that red-shifts with increasing diameter. Following PLiD, a Janus nanoparticle morphology is observed in scanning transmission electron microscopy, and low-loss EELS reveals size-dependent Ag and Ni LSPR dipole modes, while higher order modes appear only in the Ag hemisphere. PLiD of Ag–Ni thin films is shown to be a viable technique to generate bimetallic nanoparticles with both magnetic and plasmonic functionality.
