We observe that in presence of intermediary surface ligands, the electron transfer channel is turned off. On the other hand, the presence of surface ligands facilitates plasmon to molecule energy transfer (plasmon pumped adsorbate intramolecular electronic excitation) by orienting the analyte molecules along the surface field vector as well as by prolonging the excited state lifetime. The adsorbate excitation appears to be followed by singlet to triplet intersystem crossing that leads to singlet oxygen generation that initiates N-demethylation reaction as demonstrated using the reactivity of methylene.","PeriodicalId":118068,"journal":{"name":"Plasmonics: Design, Materials, Fabrication, Characterization, and Applications XIX","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130671691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared with other super-resolution microscopy techniques, our LSPR-mediated imaging is extremely simple but quite effective for monitoring the molecular dynamics at a nanointerface. The LSPR of the plasmonic metasurface provides high-contrast interfacial images due to the confined light within a region a few tens of nanometers from the particles and the enhancement of fluorescence. The improved lateral resolution reaches down to the theoretical limit even during cell movement due to the properties of the metasurface with an extremely high refractive index. In the presentation, we will present our latest imaging data concerning molecular dynamics in live cells, which were not visualized by other super-resolution imaging methods with low temporal resolution.","PeriodicalId":118068,"journal":{"name":"Plasmonics: Design, Materials, Fabrication, Characterization, and Applications XIX","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126904462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When dealing with individual or a small number of nano-antennas, highly sensitive techniques, such as thermal radiation scanning tunneling microscopy, and infrared spatial modulation spectroscopy, are required in order to extract the very weak emitted thermal radiation. Using these techniques, we have been able to characterize the thermal emission of a single pair of sub-λ metal-insulator-metal antennas separated by a nanometric gap. It is found that the various hybrid modes of a single antenna pair can be simultaneously excited by thermal fluctuations, an essentially incoherent process arising from fluctuating thermal currents. \u0000The effect of hybrid plasmonic modes on the resonant behavior of the considered antenna system may guide future efforts for realizing tunable optical and thermal structures made up of a small number of antennas, for various applications.","PeriodicalId":118068,"journal":{"name":"Plasmonics: Design, Materials, Fabrication, Characterization, and Applications XIX","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127810731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The local heating propagates to the underneath thermoelectric device through a metal electrode, resulting in an additional thermal gradient across the device.
