Assembly of 3D Metal-dielectric Nanoarrays with Arbitrary Materials and Structures for Surface Plasmon Applications
Wet-condition method for defect-free, repeatable nanoarray fabrication for plasmonic devices.
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new nanoassembly methodology that occurs under wet condition, enabling defect-free integration of various quasi-3D plasmonic nanoarrays with a desired receiver substrate. Unlike many current approaches, the entire technology assembly occurs exclusively in distilled (DI) water at room temperature without the need of chemical or thermal treatments. Through a comprehensive set of data gained from experimental, computational, and theoretical studies, researchers have gained insight into the optimal conditions for controllable, repeatable, and defect-free outcomes.
