Plasmonic Nanomachines: Creating Local Potential Gradients and Motions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Plasmonic nanomachines can generate optical, thermal, and chemical potential gradients to drive directional rectilinear, rotational, and twisting motions at the nanometer scale. The integration of multimodal plasmonic forces with functional materials and programmed structural distortions enables precise spatiotemporal actuation, thereby providing a ...

Plasmonic devices – tiny plasmonic hybrid receivers

Optics Express
Plasmonic hybrids are introduced to replace photonic optical hybrids for coherent reception. These plasmonic circuits offer a compact footprint and a fabrication compatible with many electronic platforms as one only relies on metallic layer stacks. To mitigate the plasmonic losses, we propose new designs with shortest propagation paths.

Non‐Continuous Iridescent Variable Structural Color Based on Metallic Surface Periodic Structures

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study presents an ink‐free laser nanofabrication technique that generates periodic arched microstructures on titanium surfaces, achieving non‐continuous iridescent dual‐color switching. The ridge and side flanks of these structures possess distinct oxide film thicknesses, enabling angle‐dependent selective reflection of specific wavelengths.

Layered Nanoporous Platforms for SERS Sensing

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Here, we present a detailed investigation of the SERS performance of layered nanoporous metals. The controlled deposition of well‐defined, stacked porous layers enabled a systematic analysis of the effects of multimetallic systems in SERS experiments. Numerical models are also used to support the experimental findings.
