Abstract:
Surface-plasmon-resonance (SPR) sensors are widely used in biological, chemical, medical, and environmental sensing. SPR sensors supporting two surface-plasmon modes can differentiate surface binding interactions from bulk index changes at a single sensing location. We present a new approach to dual-mode SPR sensing that offers improved differentiation between surface and bulk effects. By using an angular interrogation, both long- and short-range surface plasmons are simultaneously excited at the same location and wavelength but at different angles. Initial experiments indicate that angular interrogation offers at least a factor of 3.6 improvement in surface and bulk cross-sensitivity compared to wavelength-interrogated dual-mode SPR sensors.Keywords:

A plasmonic nanochannel structure consisting of periodic vertical Au/Si/Au nanochannels connected by U-shaped gold layers is demonstrated as a narrow-band plasmonic thermal emitter. Due to coupling of localized surface plasmons in the channels and propagating surface plasmons under the U-shaped gold layers, a narrow-band emission peak is observed.

Precise control of thermal evaporation deposition parameters allows the reproducible production of silver and gold island films on glass substrates with tunable surface plasmon resonance wavelengths. Specific combinations of substrate temperature, deposition rate, and film thickness produce films exhibiting surface plasmon resonance wavelengths that can be adjusted from throughout the visible and into the near infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The effects of deposition parameters on surface plasmon resonance wavelengths are quantified using a so-called “design of experiment” analysis. The analysis produces reliable predictive models for producing Ag and Au films with predetermined surface plasmon resonance wavelengths.

Electron energy loss spectroscopy has been used for the investigation of the surface and bulk plasmon excitations depending on the heating in the ultra-thin layers of ordering Pt 80 Co 20 (111) alloy from the primary electron beam energies E 0 ranging from 200 to 650 eV. Thermo-induced shift of plasmon energy and damping of intensity line of the surface plasmon relative to the bulk plasmon were observed. With an increase in alloy heating, the energy of surface and bulk plasmons is shifted with lowering energy in the whole range E 0 and the higher the temperature the higher the shifts of plasmon energy. The physical processes that can influence on the energy shift of plasmon oscillations in the energy loss spectra at heating are considered. The relationship between the damping of oscillating concentration depth profile and the surface plasmon damping at heating was established.

We demonstrate an efficient nanoscale electrical detector for propagating surface plasmons, tightly confined to nanoscale silver wires. Our technique is based on the near-field coupling between guided plasmons and a nanowire field-effect transistor. We demonstrate that this near-field circuit can efficiently detect the plasmon emission from a single quantum dot that is directly coupled to the plasmonic waveguide.

Abstract Surface plasmons are collective oscillations of free electrons localized at surfaces of structures made of metals. Since the surface plasmons induce fluctuations of electric charge at surfaces, they are accompanied by electromagnetic oscillations. Electromagnetic fields associated with surface plasmons are localized at surfaces of metallic structures and significantly enhanced compared with the excitation field. These two characteristics are ingredients for making good use of surface plasmons in plasmonics . Plasmonics is a rapidly growing and well-established research field, which covers various aspects of surface plasmons towards realization of a variety of surface-plasmon-based devices. In this paper, after summarizing the fundamental aspects of surface plasmons propagating on planar metallic surfaces and localized at metallic nanoparticles, recent progress in plasmonic waveguides, plasmonic light-emitting devices and plasmonic solar cells is reviewed.

This paper presents a strategy for the signal enhancement of surface plasmon resonance biosensors using colloidal gold nanoparticles and a silica layer. We describe the method for the deposition of a silica-stabilized gold nanoparticle layer on a gold film, namely an enhanced surface plasmon resonance chip. This chip shows significant changes in its surface plasmon resonance signals when biomolecules are attached to its surface as compared to a normal gold surface. These characteristics are closely related to the surface plasmon resonance effect as determined using prostate-specific antigen. The detection limit of the enhanced surface plasmon resonance chip is determined to be 0.01 ng/mL for a prostate-specific antigen immunoassay. The use of an enhanced surface plasmon resonance chip makes it possible to enhance signals 1000-fold compared to the signals obtained by conventional surface plasmon resonance sensing. The enhancement of the surface plasmon resonance spectral shift results from the coupling of the surface and particle plasmons through the application of a silica-stabilized gold nanoparticle layer on the gold surface.

Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have been attracting more attention because they have many color varieties in the visible region based on plasmon resonance, which is due to the collective oscillation of the electrons at the surface of the nanoparticles. We prepared 6 nm Au NPs to modify the surface of the glass substrate. Surface plasmons resonance of Au NPs in toluene is between 500 nm and 600 nm. When Au NPs are modified on the glass substrate, the peak of surface plasmons resonance of Au NPs is shifted. We employed spectral ellipsometry to detect optical properties. Then the characteristics of surface plasmons resonance of Au NPs is determined by reflective index. The performance of surface plasmons resonance of Au NPs on the glass substrate is simulated and shown.

We experimentally observe and theoretically prove the existence of a second class of plasmonic oscillations, distinct from standard surface plasmons, we call Brewster plasmons. We demonstrate far-field coupling to both Brewster plasmons and surface plasmons.
