Selective control of reconfigurable chiral plasmonic metamolecules
Selective configuration control of plasmonic nanostructures using either top-down or bottom-up approaches has remained challenging in the field of active plasmonics. We demonstrate the realization of DNA-assembled reconfigurable plasmonic metamolecules, which can respond to a wide range of pH changes in a programmable manner. This programmability allows for selective reconfiguration of differen...
متن کاملPhotoinduced handedness switching in terahertz chiral metamolecules.
Switching the handedness, or the chirality, of a molecule is of great importance in chemistry and biology, as molecules of different handedness exhibit dramatically different physiological properties and pharmacological effects. Here we experimentally demonstrate handedness switching in metamaterials, a new class of custom-designed composites with deep subwavelength building blocks, in response...
متن کاملToroidal dipole excitations in metamolecules formed by interacting plasmonic nanorods
We show how the elusive toroidal dipole moment appears as a radiative excitation eigenmode in a metamolecule resonator that is formed by pairs of plasmonic nanorods. We analyze one such nanorod configuration—a toroidal metamolecule. We find that the radiative interactions in the toroidal metamolecule can be qualitatively represented by a theoretical model based on an electric point dipole arran...
متن کاملHybridization in Three Dimensions: A Novel Route toward Plasmonic Metamolecules
Plasmonic metamolecules have received much interest in the last years because they can produce a wide spectrum of different hybrid optical resonances. Most of the configurations presented so far, however, considered planar resonators lying on a dielectric substrate. This typically yields high damping and radiative losses, which severely limit the performance of the system. Here we show that the...
متن کاملInterplay Between Optical Bianisotropy and Magnetism in Plasmonic Metamolecules.
The smallness of natural molecules and atoms with respect to the wavelength of light imposes severe limits on the nature of their optical response. For example, the well-known argument of Landau and Lifshitz and its recent extensions that include chiral molecules show that the electric dipole response dominates over the magneto-electric (bianisotropic) and an even smaller magnetic dipole optica...
