Giannini V, Fernández-Domínguez AI, Sonnefraud Y, Roschuk T, Fernández-García R, Maier SAet al., 2010, Controlling light localization and light-matter interactions with nanoplasmonics., Small, Vol: 6, Pages: 2498-507, ISSN: 1613-6829

Nanoplasmonics is the emerging research field that studies light-matter interactions mediated by resonant excitations of surface plasmons in metallic nanostructures. It allows the manipulation of the flow of light and its interaction with matter at the nanoscale (10(-9) m). One of the most promising characteristics of plasmonic resonances is that they occur at frequencies corresponding to typical electronic excitations in matter. This leads to the appearance of strong interactions between localized surface plasmons and light emitters (such as molecules, dyes, or quantum dots) placed in the vicinity of metals. Recent advances in nanofabrication and the development of novel concepts in theoretical nanophotonics have opened the way to the design of structures aimed to reduce the lifetime and enhance the decay rate and quantum efficiency of available emitters. In this article, some of the most relevant experimental and theoretical achievements accomplished over the last several years are presented and analyzed.

Appavoo K, Lei DY, Sonnefraud Y, Ferrara DW, Nag J, Maier SA, Haglund RFet al., 2010, Spectral modulation of single plasmonic nanostructures

We discuss in this paper the feasibility of dynamically modulating both resonance wavelength and spectral width of single nanostructures exhibiting plasmonic effects by cycling through a metal-insulator transition (MIT) in vanadium dioxide (VO(2)). Using full-field 3D finite-difference time domain (FDTD) simulation method with nonuniform mesh techniques, we study the effects of this modulation by varying the lateral dimensions of these nanostructures from 40 nm to 120 nm radially and changing its configuration as well, that is VO(2) nanodisk on gold one and vice-versa. As an initial step towards fabricating those single composite nanostructures showing the greatest modulating effect, we start by making single NPs of VO(2) and single gold NPs embedded between two 60 nm layers of VO(2). The samples are fabricated on 130 mu m thin glass substrates by electron-beam lithography, pulsed laser deposition of VO(2) and electron-beam evaporation of gold. Using confocal extinction spectroscopy, we hereafter provide for the first time experimental observations of spectral tuning in these lithographically prepared single nanostructures. However, we discussed the variability in spectra obtained. Indeed, as the gold NP size decreases, it becomes comparable to the domain sizes of the embedding VO(2) and this prevent the correct acquisition of the flat field. Hence the study of the tunability of gold particle plasmon resonance is imparted. However, we conclude that this study will be feasible for truly hybridized NP, that is gold nanodisk stacked on VO(2) nanodisk and vice-versa. As hinted by our simulation studies and preliminary experimental results, these hybridized composite NPs could potentially be used in the dynamic spectral tuning of plasmonic waveguides.

Subradiant and superradiant plasmon modes in concentric ring/disk nanocavities are experimentally observed. The subradiance is obtained through an overall reduction of the total dipole moment of the hybridized mode due to antisymmetric coupling of the dipole moments of the parent plasmons. Multiple Fano resonances appear within the superradiant continuum when structural symmetry is broken via a nanometric displacement of the disk, due to coupling with higher order ring modes. Both subradiant modes and Fano resonances exhibit substantial reductions in line width compared to the parent plasmon resonances, opening up possibilities in optical and near IR sensing via plasmon line shape design.
