Engineering metal adhesion layers that do not deteriorate plasmon resonances.
Adhesion layers, required to stabilize metallic nanostructures, dramatically deteriorate the performances of plasmonic sensors, by severely damping the plasmon modes. In this article, we show that these detrimental effects critically depend on the overlap of the electromagnetic near-field of the resonant plasmon mode with the adhesion layer and can be minimized by careful engineering of the lat...
متن کاملPlasmon resonances in large noble-metal clusters
We investigate the optical properties of spherical gold and silver clusters with diameters of 20 nm and larger. The light scattering spectra of individual clusters are measured using dark-field microscopy, thus avoiding inhomogeneous broadening effects. The dipolar plasmon resonances of the clusters are found to have nearly Lorentzian line shapes. With increasing size we observe polaritonic red...
متن کاملResonances Do Not Equilibrate
We study the quark confining vacuum structure, with the objective to liberate quarks and gluons at high temperature. The present day experimental effort involves colliding heavy nuclei and this limits the domain of deconfinement to the size of the atomic nucleus. The ‘free’ quarks and gluons form a thermal gas comprising color charges, the quark–gluon plasma — a hot soup of elementary matter, l...
متن کاملSurface plasmon-polariton resonances in metal-coated polycarbonate gratings
In this article a study of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is presented using a diffraction grating to couple light on the dielectric–metal interface. A polycarbonate surface relief gratings obtained from commercially available DVD-R stampers are used as substrates and are subsequently coated with silver and gold thin films (with physical thickness d = 15-25 nm) . The presence of SPR is experim...
متن کاملTunable Dipole Surface Plasmon Resonances of Silver Nanoparticles by Cladding Dielectric Layers
The tunability of surface plasmon resonance can enable the highest degree of localised surface plasmon enhancement to be achieved, based on the emitting or absorbing wavelength. In this article, tunable dipole surface plasmon resonances of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) are realized by modification of the SiO2 dielectric layer thicknesses. SiO2 layers both beneath and over the Ag NPs affected the reson...
