Plasmonic nanostructures fabricated via cost-effective method: plasmonic color pigment and microfluid device

Abstract

The demand for the fabrication of nanostructures consisting of metal and dielectric is increasing with the development of new plasmonic optics. Since 1997, the presenter has produced various dielectric nanostructures by the bottom-up method and reported their optical and electrochemical properties such as light propagation in two-dimensional polystyrene colloidal crystals[1], the electron emission of diamond nanorods arrays[2], photochemical micro beakers composed of TiO2[3], etc. The advantages of the bottom-up method are that you can easily try various materials in addition to being able to easily perform experiments at the laboratory level. In this presentation, we will report about the various nanostructures fabricated using thermal dewetting process of metal/dielectric interface[4], focusing on the application to the plasmonic color pigment and microfluid devices. 1 Chem.
