Two-dimensional (2D) layered oxides have recently attracted wide attention owing to the strong coupling among charges, spins, lattice, and strain, which allows great flexibility and opportunities in structure designs as well as multifunctionality exploration. In parallel, plasmonic hybrid nanostructures exhibit exotic localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) providing a broad range of applications in nanophotonic devices and sensors. A hybrid material platform combining the unique multifunctional 2D layered oxides and plasmonic nanostructures brings optical tuning into the new level. In this work, a novel self-assembled Bi2MoO6 (BMO) 2D layered oxide incorporated with plasmonic Au nanoinclusions has been demonstrated via one-step pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. Comprehensive microstructural characterizations, including scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), differential phase contrast imaging (DPC), and STEM tomography, have demonstrated the high epitaxial quality and particle-in-matrix morphology of the BMO-Au nanocomposite film. DPC-STEM imaging clarifies the magnetic domain structures of BMO matrix. Three different BMO structures including layered supercell (LSC) and superlattices have been revealed which is attributed to the variable strain states throughout the BMO-Au film. Owing to the combination of plasmonic Au and layered structure of BMO, the nanocomposite film exhibits a typical LSPR in visible wavelength region and strong anisotropy in terms of its optical and ferromagnetic properties. This study opens a new avenue for developing novel 2D layered complex oxides incorporated with plasmonic metal or semiconductor phases showing great potential for applications in multifunctional nanoelectronics devices.
