Ultrathin dielectric gaps between metals can trap plasmonic optical modes with surprisingly
low loss and with volumes below 1 nm3. We review the origin and subtle properties of these …

Fluorescence‐based biosensors have widely been used in the life‐sciences and biomedical
applications due to their low limit of detection and a diverse selection of fluorophores that …

Carbon-based materials are widely employed as metal-free catalysts or supports in
catalysis, energy, and ecological applications because of their interesting properties …

The field of plasmonics, which studies the resonant interactions of electromagnetic waves
and free electrons in solid-state materials, has yet to be put to large-scale commercial …

Efficient and bright single photon sources at room temperature are critical components for
quantum information systems such as quantum key distribution, quantum state teleportation …

The field of two-dimensional (2D) materials-based nanophotonics has been growing at a
rapid pace, triggered by the ability to design nanophotonic systems with in situ control …

The large losses of plasmonic nanocavities, orders of magnitude beyond those of photonic
dielectric cavities, places them, perhaps surprisingly, as exceptional enhancers of single …

Plasmonic gap nanostructures (PGNs) have been extensively investigated mainly because
of their strongly enhanced optical responses, which stem from the high intensity of the …

Metallic nanostructures with nanometer gaps support hybrid plasmonic modes with an
extremely small mode volume and strong local field intensity, which constitutes an attractive …

Plasmonic antennas have a profound impact on nanophotonics as they provide efficient
means to manipulate light and enhance light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. However …
