研究目的
To study the enhancement of spontaneous emission of Eu3+ ions, featuring both electric and magnetic-dominated dipole transitions, by dielectric metasurfaces composed of Mie-resonant silicon nanocylinders, and to manipulate the branching ratio of emission via electric or magnetic channels.
研究成果
The study demonstrates selective enhancement of magnetic dipole emission over electric dipole emission using Mie-resonant dielectric metasurfaces, with enhancements up to a factor of 6.5 for magnetic transitions. This opens new pathways for applications in nanophotonics and optoelectronics, particularly for magnetic light-matter interactions.
研究不足
The a-Si:H material exhibits non-negligible absorption losses at emission wavelengths, which may limit enhancement. Sample imperfections such as surface roughness and variations in polymer thickness affect results. Numerical simulations do not account for the full electronic level structure of Eu3+, finite quantum efficiencies, or excitation enhancement details.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves fabricating dielectric metasurfaces with varying nanocylinder radii to control Mie resonances, coating them with an Eu3+ doped polymer, and measuring emission enhancements using fluorescence microscopy and numerical simulations based on the reciprocity principle.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples consist of 20 metasurfaces with nanocylinder radii from 96 nm to 146 nm, fabricated on glass substrates. Eu3+ ions are incorporated in a polymer layer.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes a scanning electron microscope (SEM) for imaging, a He-Cd laser for excitation, interferometric narrow-band filters, a Thorlabs 1500 M GE-TE CCD camera for detection, and COMSOL Multiphysics software for simulations. Materials include hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), electron-beam resist maN-2403, and Eu(TTA)3L18 complex.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Fabrication involves PECVD deposition, EBL, ICP etching, and spin-coating. Optical characterization includes transmittance spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy with selective wavelength detection. Numerical simulations use finite-element methods and reciprocity principles.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Emission enhancement is quantified by comparing intensities on metasurfaces and bare substrates. Numerical simulations involve calculating local electric and magnetic fields and averaging over emitter positions and orientations.
