A bound state in the continuum (BIC) is a nonradiating state of light embedded in the
continuum of propagating modes providing drastic enhancement of the electromagnetic field …

At the beginning of the 1980s, the first reports of surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy
(SEIRS) surfaced. Probably due to signal-enhancement factors of only 101 to 103, which are …

We use low-cost hole-mask colloidal nanolithography to manufacture large-area resonant
split-ring metamaterials and measure their infrared optical properties. This novel substrate is …

The collective oscillation of conduction electrons, responsible for the localized surface
plasmon resonances, enables engineering nanomaterials by tuning their optical response …

In this Letter, a rational and stepwise method for the solution-phase synthesis of asymmetric
Au split nanorings by adopting Au nanoprisms as a template has been demonstrated. The …

Plasmonics has recently received a tremendous amount of attention, in particular, due to its
potential for generating exceptionally large optical field enhancements in cubic-nanometer …

The adhesion layer used in nanofabrication process of metallic nanostructures affects the
surface plasmon modes. We characterize the localized surface plasmon resonances (SPRs) …

The collective oscillation of conduction electrons in plasmonic nanomaterials allows the
coupling of propagating light waves with nanoscale volumes of matter (“hot spots”) and …

Due to the occurrence of THz-excited vibrational modes in biomacromolecules, the THz
frequency range has been identified as particularly suitable for developing and applying …

Depositing very thin organic films on the surface of arrays of asymmetric split-ring resonators
(A-SRRs) produces a shift in their resonance spectra that can be utilized for sensitive …
