Nanocrystal gels exhibit collective optical phenomena based on interactions among their
constituent building blocks. However, their inherently disordered structures have made it …

Plasmonic nanocrystals in close-packed assemblies exhibit collective optical resonance and
strongly concentrated electric fields due to coupling. The spectral red-shift from the localized …

Vibrational spectroscopy is a powerful tool for probing atomic motions in molecules and
extended solids. Recent advances in aberration-corrected, monochromated-scanning …

Free-electron-based measurements in scanning transmission electron microscopes
(STEMs) reveal valuable information on the broadband spectral responses of nanoscale …

Creating next-generation devices capable of transducing waste heat into useful work will
require building blocks designed to direct low-grade thermal energy at length scales well …

We develop here a comprehensive experimental approach to independently determine
charge carrier parameters, namely, carrier density and mass, in plasmonic indium tin oxide …

In this work, we characterize the near-field response of individual gold nanotriangles over a
broad, visible-to-infrared, spectral region (200–1500 meV) using high-resolution electron …
