“…Additionally, TMNs can exhibit plasmonic behavior in the visible and near-infrared range under certain conditions, such as variations in optical properties, chemical deposition, and structural size. 23,[96][97][98] For example, Sucheewa et al demonstrated that a hafnium nitride (HfN) thin film created through gas-timed RF magnetron sputtering exhibited an EF of 8.5 × 10 4 for MB molecules, which was largely attributed to an increased "hot spot" effect. The absorbance of the HfN thin film in the longer wavelength range (approximately 500-900 nm) is advantageous for surface plasmon resonance, which greatly enhances the electromagnetic mechanism on the surface.…”
