Abstract

The energy relaxation dynamics process of Pt nanoparticles with a diameter of 25 nm after a 400-nm femtosecond laser excitation was investigated using pump-probe technology with 130 fs laser pulse. Experimental results show that the process includes a fast decay with time constant of 850 fs and a slow decay with time constant of 9 ps. Theoretical discussion indicates that the former results from electron-phonon coupling process, while the latter is from phonon-phonon coupling process.
