Optical studies of Au embedded thin films UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy indicated the rise of 1.5 times UV and twice the visible absorp- tion band for annealed Au embedded TiO2 thin films as compared to as-grown films. Spec- troscopic ellipsometry along with different theoretical models such as Drude Lorentz model for Au and Urbach tail modified Tauc Lorentz model for TiO2 were used to represent the composite TiO2/Au/TiO2 films. The models were combined for the sandwiched structure using different effect- ive medium approximations (EMA). The result indicated the interband and intraband contributions of different bands and showed how they are sensitive towards the Au nanoparticle shapes and sizes. 2. Optical studies of Au embedded ZnO/TiO2 nano-heterostructure arrays The optical studies of ZnO/Au/TiO2 nano-heterostructures provided enhanced absorptions in the visible part. Photoluminescence and UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy techniques were used to determinethe effect of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based on different Au nanoparticle sizes on the semiconductor optical properties. The study co-related the SPR phenomenon with the de- fect density at the interfaces. The UV to red PL intensity followed the SPR strength across the nano- heterostructures. The presence of hot electrons also affected the radiative and non-radiative transition rates in the structures. 3. Optical studies of Au coated ZnS nanostructures ZnS nanostructure were synthesized by two different catalysts: Mn and Sn. Temperature dependent Photoluminescence spectroscopy highlighted the role of different luminescent centers both in the presence and absence of Au coating. Blue luminescence in Au coated Mn catalyzed ZnS nanostructures was quenched, while for Sn catalyzed ZnS nanostructures, blue peak was blue shifted and green peak red shifted due to doubly ionized donor behavior of Sn ions. Moreover, Sn acted as a semi- metal itself, so surface plasmon resonance of the two metals provided enhanced luminescence in the whole visible range. l and optical characterization of biological cells A microfluidic device was fabricated for the sorting of biological particles using electrophoresis and dielectrophoresis. Electrophoresis separates the particles on the basis of their different surface charge concentrations in uniform electric field. Dielectrophoresis is the induced movement of polarizable particles in a non-uniform electric field. The electric field was applied at the pairs of microelectrodes integrated on a glass slide. The fluid ran through the PDMS membrane channel formed using a Si mold and bonded to the microelectrodes. Photolithography, e-beam evaporation, lift off method and reactive ion etching techniques were used for imprinting of microelectrodes and Si mold channel features, respectively.
