Damping Off Terahertz Sound Modes of a Liquid upon Immersion of Nanoparticles
Abstract
The control of phonon propagation in nanoparticle arrays is one of the frontiers of nanotechnology, potentially enabling the discovery of materials with unknown functionalities for potential innovative applications. The exploration of the terahertz window appears quite promising as phonons in this range are the leading carriers of heat transport in insulators and their control is the key to implement devices for heat flow management. Unfortunately, this scientific field is still in its infancy, and even a basic topic such as the influence of floating nanoparticles on the terahertz phonon propagation of a colloidal suspension still eludes a firm answer. Shedding some light on this topic is the main motivation of the present work, which focuses an inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) measurements on a dilute suspension of Au nanospheres in water. Measured spectra showed a nontrivial shape displaying multiple inelastic features that, based on a Bayesian inference analysis, we assign to phonon modes propagating throughout the nanoparticle interior. Surprisingly, the spectra bear no evidence of propagating modes, which are known to dominate the spectrum of pure water, owing to the scattering that these modes suffer from the sparse nanoparticles in suspension. In perspective, this finding may inspire simple routes to manipulatemore »
