Dark plasmons in hot spot generation and polarization in interelectrode nanoscale junctions
Joseph B. Herzog, Mark W. Knight, Yajing Li +3
Nanoscale gaps between adjacent metallic nanostructures give rise to extraordinarily large field enhancements, known as "hot spots", upon illumination. Incident light with the elec…
Chiral Surface Plasmon Polaritons on Metallic Nanowires
Shunping Zhang, Hong Wei, Kui Bao +4
Chiral surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can be generated by linearly polarized light incident at the end of a nanowire, exciting a coherent superposition of three specific nanowir…
Localized heating in nanoscale Pt constrictions measured using blackbody radiation emission
Daniel R. Ward, Naomi J. Halas, Douglas Natelson
Using thermal emission microscopy, we investigate heating in Pt nanowires before and during electromigration. The wires are observed to reach temperatures in excess of 1000 K. This…
Electronic and optical properties of electromigrated molecular junctions
D. R. Ward, G. D. Scott, Z. K. Keane +2
Electromigrated nanoscale junctions have proven very useful for studying electronic transport at the single-molecule scale. However, confirming that conduction is through precisely…
Simultaneous measurements of electronic conduction and Raman response in molecular junctions
Daniel R. Ward, Naomi J. Halas, Jacob W. Ciszek +4
Electronic conduction through single molecules is affected by the molecular electronic structure as well as by other information that is extremely difficult to assess, such as bond…
Electromigrated nanoscale gaps for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
D. R. Ward, N. K. Grady, C. S. Levin +4
Single-molecule detection with chemical specificity is a powerful and much desired tool for biology, chemistry, physics, and sensing technologies. Surface-enhanced spectroscopies e…
