Optical Properties of Nanohole Arrays with Various Depths
摘要： Studies to imitate structural colors have been conducted with various methods, most of which are disadvantageous for mechanical stability and economic feasibility because of complexity or lack of reproducibility. Numerous alternatives to overcome these shortcomings have been proposed. One such method is the anodic oxidation of aluminum, which requires relatively simple equipment and techniques. The present study used the aluminum anodic oxidation process to fabricate nanohole arrays of various sizes. Furthermore, using the finding that the structure color is the most strongly influenced by the nanohole depth based on the Bragg's Law, this study fabricated nanoholes of various depths to identify the structural colors arising from varied depths. This study further identified the colors from the same color series occurring periodically at each interval of 250 nm using the CIE 1931 color coordinate system. Moreover, nanohole arrays with two different depths were fabricated on a single substrate to confirm the coexistence of different colors and their capacity for deformation into various shapes.

Coupling between plasmonic nanohole array and nanorod arrays: the emerging of a new extraordinary optical transmission mode and epsilon-near-zero property
摘要： The compound Ag nanohole structures with an Ag nanorod in the middle of an Ag nanohole are investigated by finite-difference-time-domain calculations. The structure shows strong polarization-dependent optical properties. A new extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) mode is observed when the polarization direction is aligned with the long axis of the nanorods, and its resonance wavelength red-shifts exponentially with the nanorod length. Around this resonance wavelength, the real part of the effective permittivity also becomes zero, demonstrating the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) property. The new EOT mode is found to be the result of the enhanced local radiation of the nanorods as well as the electromagnetic coupling to the nanoholes to produce the enhanced transmission. The tunable resonance wavelength, EOT, strong near-field enhancement, and ENZ properties make the structure ideal for many potential applications, such as ultrathin optical filter, polarizers, surface-enhanced spectroscopies, etc.

Transition from discrete patches to plasmonic nanohole array by glancing angle deposition on nanosphere monolayers
摘要： By combining nanosphere lithography and glancing angle deposition, a morphological transition from disconnected patchy silver (Ag) coated nanosphere particles to a connected Ag nanohole sheet on close-packed nanosphere monolayers has been demonstrated, which significantly changes the optical property of the Ag nanostructure deposited. For different sized nanosphere monolayers, when the vapor incident angle was set to be 55o, the transmission spectra showed complicated features when the Ag deposition thickness was less than 60 nm. When the thickness was large enough (> 60 nm), a distinguished extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) peak was observed. The EOT peak wavelength position is independent of the Ag thickness deposited and is proportional to the nanosphere diameter. The obtained EOT peaks possess a high quality factor and have high transmission values compared to those reported in the literature for similar structures. Such a high quality EOT response could be used for constructing better sensors or developing other plasmonic applications.

Plasmonic-Active Nanostructured Thin Films
摘要： Plasmonic-active nanomaterials are of high interest to scientists because of their expanding applications in the field for medicine and energy. Chemical and biological sensors based on plasmonic nanomaterials are well-established and commercially available, but the role of plasmonic nanomaterials on photothermal therapeutics, solar cells, super-resolution imaging, organic synthesis, etc. is still emerging. The effectiveness of the plasmonic materials on these technologies depends on their stability and sensitivity. Preparing plasmonics-active nanostructured thin films (PANTFs) on a solid substrate improves their physical stability. More importantly, the surface plasmons of thin film and that of nanostructures can couple in PANTFs enhancing the sensitivity. A PANTF can be used as a transducer for any of the three plasmonic-based sensing techniques, namely, the propagating surface plasmon, localized surface plasmon resonance, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy-based sensing techniques. Additionally, continuous nanostructured metal films have an advantage for implementing electrical controls such as simultaneous sensing using both plasmonic and electrochemical techniques. Although research and development on PANTFs have been rapidly advancing, very few reviews on synthetic methods have been published. In this review, we provide some fundamental and practical aspects of plasmonics along with the recent advances in PANTFs synthesis, focusing on the advantages and shortcomings of the fabrication techniques. We also provide an overview of different types of PANTFs and their sensitivity for biosensing.

Wetting translucency of graphene on plasmonic nanohole arrays
摘要： Graphene- a carbon allotrope with atoms arranged in monolayer two-dimensional hexagonal lattice- exhibits wide range of applications in batteries, supercapacitors, solar cells, biosensing, light-emitting diodes, semi-conductors, materials composites, and coatings to name a few. Significant progress has been made to understand the electronic, mechanical, and optical characteristics of graphene. However, the wettability of graphene, which is important for surface modification and thermal/fluidic properties, is still not well understood. The level of transparency to van der Waals forces, chemical bonds, and electrostatic interactions between atoms and molecules on two sides of graphene single layer is partially known. Static contact angle between the edge of sessile drop and functionalized surface provides surface tension value based on Owens-Wendt model and is important for wettability studies. In this work, we investigate the surface energy of glass, silicon wafer, and plasmonic nano-hole arrays (Silver, Polymer and Gold) suspended with CVD grown and transferred single layer of graphene. Our results showed that the underlying substrate does affect the wettability of graphene monolayer due to van der Waal hydrocarbon, metal-carbide, and silica-carbon bonding which tends to provide deeper understanding of the wetting dynamics. This study elucidates the mechanism of wetting translucency of graphene on plasmonic nanohole arrays.

Plasmonic Properties of Nanostructured Diamond Like Carbon/Silver Nanocomposite Films with Nanohole Arrays
摘要： Plasmonic properties of the diamond like carbon nanocomposite films with embedded silver nanoparticles with patterned nanohole arrays were analyzed in this study. The films were deposited by unbalanced reactive magnetron sputtering of silver target. Nanopatterning of the films was performed by combining electron beam nanolithography and ion beam etching techniques. Modeling of plasmonic properties was done using the classical Maxwell-Garnett theory. Modeling data and experimental results were in good accordance. Formation of the nanohole pattern in diamond like carbon films doped with silver resulted in decreased intensity of the surface plasmon resonance absorbance peak. No new absorbance or transmittance peaks were observed after the nanopattering. It was explained by extraordinary transmission effect in nanostructured DLC : Ag film films due to plasmon polariton resonance inside of the nanoholes.
