Abstract
) exhibit broadband photoabsorption spectra and localized surface plasmon resonances even at low energy in the infrared region (a spectral range of interest for molecular sensing). In addition, the nanoclusters produce a sizable electric field confinement on the surface with a strength that varies with the F/O surface termination. Our findings provide significant theoretical insight into the optical and plasmonic properties of MXene nanoclusters.
