Nanophotonics, the field that merges photonics and nanotechnology, has in recent years
revolutionized the field of optics by enabling the manipulation of light–matter interactions …

Drastic chemical interface plasmon damping is induced by the ultrathin (∼ 2 nm) titanium
(Ti) adhesion layer; alternatively, molecular adhesion is implemented for lithographic …

To fabricate robust metallic nanostructures with top-down patterning methods such as
electron-beam lithography, an initial nanometer-scale layer of a second metal is deposited …

Adhesion layers, required to stabilize metallic nanostructures, dramatically deteriorate the
performances of plasmonic sensors, by severely damping the plasmon modes. In this article …

Quadrupole plasmon and (octupolar) Fano resonances are induced in lithographically
fabricated theta-shaped ring− rod gold nanostructures. The optical response is …

Our visual perception of our surroundings is ultimately limited by the diffraction-limit, which
stipulates that optical information smaller than roughly half the illumination wavelength is not …

A low-absorption adhesion layer plays a crucial role for both localized and propagating
surface plasmons when ultrathin gold is used. To date, the most popular adhesion layers are …

The adhesion layer used in nanofabrication process of metallic nanostructures affects the
