Abstract:The future of the plasmonic devices is heavily challenged by the nanoconstruction schemes of metals which often require rather fast, low-cost, and high-throughput fabrication techniques. Laser annealing is considered to be an unrivaled tool for surface manipulation of thin metallic films, especially with functional plasmonic devices of pre-determined morphology. Herein, a commercial CW CO2 laser, wavelength of 10.6 µm and optimum power of 15W, has been used for surface reconstruction of thin Au films, with an … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
