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 centers. Here we systematically investigate formation and plasmonic properties of complexes assembled in colloidal mixtures of 20 nm gold or silver nanoparticles with 50 nm HPHT nanodiamonds, surface of which is oxidized or hydrogenated and thereby providing 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. Stable plasmonic frequency shows that the metal nanoparticles do not become aggregated and keep also a few nm gap to nanodiamonds. Concentration dependence study reveals that 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 nanodiamonds or metal nanoparticles. Based on the experimental results and electromagnetic field-based simulations of the complexes we discuss a model involving competing charge transfer and plasmonic interference effects.
