contents The combination of nanodiamonds with plasmonic metal particles is being explored for synergic effects that can enhance biosensing and antibacterial treatments, energy harvesting, photocatalysis, and quantum centres. Here we systematically investigate the formation and plasmonic properties of complexes assembled in colloidal mixtures of 20 nm gold or silver nanoparticles with 50 nm HPHT nanodiamonds, the surfaces of which are oxidized or hydrogenated. This approach provides nanocomplexes of well-defined particles with different surface chemistry and electrical conductivity. Nanoscale complexes are formed in each case, as shown by scanning electron microscopy and optical absorption spectra. The stable plasmonic frequency shows that the metal nanoparticles do not become aggregated and keep a few nm gap to nanodiamonds. The concentration dependence study reveals that the plasmonic effect can be significantly increased (up to 124 %) for lower concentrations of metal nanoparticles in the mixtures, whereas their higher concentrations reduce it, regardless of the type of nanodiamond or metal nanoparticle. Based on the experimental results and electromagnetic field-based simulations of the complexes, we discuss a model involving competing charge redistribution and plasmonic interference effects.
