“…[11] Direct chemical synthesis of metallic particles is perhaps the dominant bottom-up technique. Core/shell particles, [12] rods, [13,14] and wires [15] are among the many shapes that can be fabricated in addition to spheres. These and other techniques allow a wide variety of metallic structures to be made with features on the nanometer scale.…”

We provide an overview of the way in which different approaches to nanostructuring metals can lead to a wealth of interesting optical properties and functionality through manipulation of the plasmon modes that such structures support, a field known as plasmonics. The increasing interest in plasmonics derives in large measure from the interplay between better fabrication techniques and an awareness of the potential that controlled plasmon modes have to offer. The combination of nanometer‐scale fabrication techniques and increasingly sophisticated numerical modeling capabilities thus enables a significant advance in our understanding of the science underlying plasmonics. Here, we survey some of the different structures that have been explored. We hope that this Review will spur others to continue the exploration of this fascinating topic.

“…SPP waves have implication in a large area of optics and in particular in imaging where it has been demonstrated that a perfect lens based on materials with a negative index of refraction could recover the optical components associated with subwavelength spatial resolution (Pendry, 2000;Pendry et al 2004). Applications have been demonstrated in the microwave domain and results in the visible range are expected (Fang et al, 2005;Grigorenko et al, 2005). All these problems concern the near-field regime and certainly require the use of NSOM or PSTM methods for their complete understanding.…”

We present an overview of recent progress in "plasmonics". We focus our study on the observation and excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) with optical near-field microscopy. We discuss in particular recent applications of photon scanning tunnelling microscope (PSTM) for imaging of SPP propagating in metal and dielectric wave guides. We show how near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) can be used to optically and actively address remotely nano-objects such as quantum dots. Additionally we compare results obtained with near-field microscopy to those obtained with other optical far-field methods of analysis such as leakage radiation microscopy (LRM).

“…[146] Using a procedure that combined chemical synthesis of gold microplates [147] and nanoskiving (Figure 11a), we were able to produce collinear arrays of high quality, single crystalline nanowires. [61] Figure 11b shows a dark-field optical image and 12c shows and SEM image.…”

Lead-InThis paper reviews nanoskiving-a simple and inexpensive method of nanofabrication, which minimizes requirements for access to cleanrooms and associated facilities, and which make it possible to fabricate nanostructures from materials, and of geometries, to which more familiar methods of nanofabrication are not applicable. Nanoskiving requires three steps: i) deposition of a metallic, semiconducting, ceramic, or polymeric thin film onto an epoxy substrate; ii) embedding this film in epoxy, to form an epoxy block, with the film as an inclusion; and iii) sectioning the epoxy block into slabs with an ultramicrotome. These slabs, which can be 30 nm -10 µm thick, contain nanostructures whose lateral dimensions are equal to the thicknesses of the embedded thin films. Electronic applications of structures produced by this method include nanoelectrodes for electrochemistry, chemoresistive nanowires, and 4 heterostructures of organic semiconductors. Optical applications include surface plasmon resonators, plasmonic waveguides, and frequency-selective surfaces.
