Fabrication of Free-Standing Plasmonic Nanopeapods for Nanophotonic Applications

纳米粒子等离子体动力学是纳米科学和纳米技术中的一个新兴领域，它利用金属纳米结构独特的光学特性来定向和操纵无衍射限制的光。然而，如何大规模地构建结构清晰、高通量的纳米结构仍然是一个挑战。该项目旨在开发廉价的策略来制造独立的一维有序等离子体纳米粒子组件，用于未来的纳米光子电路和下一代计算技术。这将产生新的知识和可申请专利的技术。

Nanoparticle plasmonics is an emerging field in nanoscience and nanotechnology, which exploits the unique optical properties of metallic nanostructures to route and manipulate light without diffraction limit. However, it remains challenging to construct structurally well-defined nanostructures with high throughput at large scale. This project aims to develop inexpensive strategy to fabricate free-standing one-dimensional ordered assemblies of plasmonic nanoparticles for their applications in future nanophotonic circuits and next generation computing technology. This will generate new knowledge and patentable technologies.
