Plasmonic Properties of Aluminum Nanoparticles Fabricated by Nanosphere Lithography

George H. Chan, Jing Zhao, George C. Schatz, and Richard P. Van Duyne. Northwestern University Materials Research Science & Engineering Center DMR-0520513
A plasmon is the result of light interacting with the surface electrons in materials that meet specific dielectric requirements. Noble metals have long been used as plasmonic materials, yet other materials are capable of supporting surface plasmons. Recent work in the Van Duyne lab has shown that aluminum nanoparticles fabricated using a process known as nanosphere lithography (NSL) display plasmons throughout the UV-vis region.

Detection of Single Gold Atoms in Silicon Nanowires

Jonathan E. Allen, Eric R. Hemesath, Daniel E. Perea, Jessica L. Lensch-Falk, and Lincoln J. Lauhon Northwestern University Materials Research Science & Engineering Center DMR-0520513
Semiconductor nanowires grown with metal nanocatalysts are new materials that provide a basis for transformative improvements in diverse technologies including thermoelectrics and photovoltaics. Nanowire electronic properties depend strongly on incorporated impurity atoms, which have not been previously observed.
