Analysis and Simulation of a Novel Localized Surface Plasmonic Highly Sensitive Refractive Index Sensor
摘要: Dividing a metal nanoparticle into smaller components and the occurrence of the plasmonic phenomenon in the gap between these components can improve the sensitivity of the detector to variation of the refraction coefficient of liquid. In this paper, in a constant volume of metal, a golden disk is divided into two rings and one smaller disk. With a proper arrangement of these components, the surface plasmon resonance phenomenon takes place at the wavelength of 945.7 nm. The occurrence of this phenomenon increases the field in the distance between nanoparticles surrounded by liquid. The sensitivity of the detector that designed using nanodisks is 300 nm/RIU while it increases to 500 nm/RIU for the new structure. The increase of LSPR displacement, for a variation of 0.01 in the liquid refraction coefficient, from 3 nm for a disk to 5 nm for a proposed structure verifies a 67% improvement in the sensitivity of the sensor.

Plasmonic Color Laser Printing inside Transparent Gold Nanodisk‐Embedded Poly(dimethylsiloxane) Matrices
摘要: Plasmonic color generation from metal nanostructures has attracted intensive attention because of their excellence in achieving high spatial resolution, strong color contrast, and long-term durability. The limited area of plasmonic patterns anchored on substrates and produced by current top-down methods, however, severely restricts the advanced developments and potential applications in structural color display. Herein a robust method for realizing the laser printing of plasmonic colors inside transparent gold nanodisk-embedded poly(dimethylsiloxane) matrices is presented. It is found that various colors can not only be easily generated by embedding gold nanodisks of different sizes, but also finely varied by adjusting the laser pulse intensity during printing. It is further demonstrated that multiple color layers can be laser-printed at different depths. Stereoscopic images in the 3D matrices are laser-printed with sizes as large as 12 × 15 mm2 and a resolution of 4600 dots per inch.

Plasmonic hot electron transfer in anisotropic Pt–Au nanodisks boosts electrochemical reactions in the visible-NIR region
摘要: Plasmonic hot electron transfer in anisotropic Pt–Au nanodisks boosts electrochemical reactions in the visible-NIR region. Anisotropic plasmonic metals have attracted significant attention in enhancing the catalytic performance of catalysts due to their broad light-harnessing capabilities and active hot electrons; however, limited investigations have been dedicated towards improving their electrochemical reaction performance in the visible and near infrared (NIR) regions. Herein, anisotropic Pt-edged Au nanodisks (NDs) were synthesized by controlling the preferential loading of Pt and used as catalysts for plasmon-enhanced electrochemical methanol oxidation reactions (MORs) under visible-NIR light irradiation by, and the light-enhanced electric current over the Pt-edged Au NDs was found to be 3-fold higher than that under dark conditions. Wavelength-dependent electric current over the Pt-edged Au NDs for the MOR in the visible-NIR light region demonstrates that the light-induced enhancement of the electric current is due to surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the Au NDs. Furthermore, plasmonic hot electron transfer was studied by the single-particle photoluminescence images and spectra of Au NDs and Pt–Au NDs, and the dipole surface plasmon resonance (DSPR) mode was proved to be the main channel for hot electron transfer. During the electrochemical reaction under visible-NIR light irradiation, a plasmonic hot electron is transferred to the electrode, and a 'hot hole' is left on the surface, boosting the MOR.

A Novel Metal Nanoparticles-Graphene Nanodisks-Quantum Dots Hybrid-System-Based Spaser
摘要: Active nanoplasmonics have recently led to the emergence of many promising applications. One of them is the spaser (surface plasmons ampli?cation by stimulated emission of radiation) that has been shown to generate coherent and intense ?elds of selected surface plasmon modes that are strongly localized in the nanoscale. We propose a novel nanospaser composed of a metal nanoparticles-graphene nanodisks hybrid plasmonic system as its resonator and a quantum dots cascade stack as its gain medium. We derive the plasmonic ?elds induced by pulsed excitation through the use of the effective medium theory. Based on the density matrix approach and by solving the Lindblad quantum master equation, we analyze the ultrafast dynamics of the spaser associated with coherent ampli?ed plasmonic ?elds. The intensity of the plasmonic ?eld is signi?cantly affected by the width of the metallic contact and the time duration of the laser pulse used to launch the surface plasmons. The proposed nanospaser shows an extremely low spasing threshold and operates in the mid-infrared region that has received much attention due to its wide biomedical, chemical and telecommunication applications.

MODE SPLITTING BASED ON THE COUPLING BETWEEN MODES OF TWO NANODISKS CAVITIES AND A PLASMONIC WAVEGUIDE
摘要: A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) plasmonic waveguide coupled with two nanodisks as a resonator has been examined and numerically simulated with the ?nite-di?erence time-domain (FDTD) and analytically by the Temporal Coupling Mode Theory (CMT). Based on the three-level system, the strong destructive interference between the two resonators leads to the distinct mode splitting response. The characteristics of mode splitting show that there is anomalous dispersion with the novel fast-light feature at the resonance. Meanwhile, the slow light characteristic can also be achieved in the system at wavelengths of the split modes. The relationship between the transmission characteristics and the geometric parameters is examined. The results show that the modulation depth of the mode splitting transmission spectrum of 80% with 0.175 ps fast-light e?ect of resonance can be achieved, while for the two modes these values are around 30% with ?0.18 ps slow light-e?ect. There is a good agreement between the FDTD simulated transmission features and CMT. The characteristics of the system indicate critical potential applications in integrated optical circuits such as slow-light and fast-light devices, optical monitoring, an optical ?lter, and optical storage.

Plasmons of magnesium nanodisks and their interactions with a dipole-carrying molecule
摘要: Magnesium nanostructures have recently emerged as an outstanding material with new and intriguing plasmonic properties. Here we investigate the optical properties of pristine and pyridine adsorbed magnesium nanodisks having diameter spanning in the range of 0.50 nm to 2.0 nm. We base our calculations on computationally efficient time-dependent density-functional theory calculations. Our results demonstrate that pristine magnesium nanodisks possess localized surface plasmon resonances. The adsorption of a dipole-carrying molecule significantly alters their plasmonic response due to the strong plasmon splitting, leading to new features in their optical response. We believe that magnesium nanodisks provide a versatile platform for sensing and in the design of novel ultra-sensitive plasmonic devices.

Anapole Resonances Facilitated by High Index Contrast between Substrate and Dielectric Nanodisk Enhance Vacuum Ultraviolet Generation
摘要: Anapole modes are known to be excited only in high-index nanoparticles. Here we show that the nanodisks made of dielectric materials with much lower refractive indices, such as LiNbO3, can generate anapole modes, provided that they are supported by metallic or near-zero-index substrate. The important parameter for exciting anapole mode is the index contrast between nanodisk and substrate, rather than the refractive index of the nanodisk. We numerically demonstrate highly efficient coherent generation of vacuum ultraviolet with the efficiency higher than 10-2 % based on the second-harmonic generation via the excitation of anapole modes in LiNbO3 nanodisks supported by aluminum substrate. Highly efficient vacuum ultraviolet nanosource proposed in this work can find important applications for spectroscopic and sensing purposes at the nanoscale.
