Article Abstract
We present the experimental observation of spectral lines of distinctly different shapes in the optical extinction cross-section of metallic nanorod antennas under near-normal plane wave illumination. Surface plasmon resonances of odd mode parity present Fano interference in the scattering cross-section, resulting in asymmetric spectral lines. Contrarily, modes with even parity appear as symmetric Lorentzian lines. Finite element simulations are used to verify the experimental results. The emergence of either constructive or destructive mode interference is explained with a semianalytical 1D line current model. This simple model directly explains the mode-parity dependence of the Fano-like interference. Plasmonic nanorods are widely used as half-wave optical dipole antennas. Our findings offer a perspective and theoretical framework for operating these antennas at higher-order modes.

Exhaled breath analysis offers noninvasive, early lung cancer detection via volatile organic compound (VOC) biomarkers, surpassing blood-based methods. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is ideal for this purpose, combining molecular fingerprint specificity with single-molecule sensitivity. However, conventional SERS substrates face a fundamental limitation: while porous materials such as metal-organic frameworks effectively adsorb VOCs through their subnanometer pores (0.

Organic-inorganic perovskite materials have garnered widespread academic attention owing to their remarkable optical characteristics. Nonetheless, it is imperative to minimize the laser threshold and non-radiative recombination losses for developing perovskite lasers with superior performance. In this work, an innovative perovskite vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) has been developed by integrating gold nanorods (Au NRs) into the resonant cavity to manipulate the light field energy distribution and optical confinement factor, significantly reducing the threshold of perovskite lasers through the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect.

With the increasing concern for ecological environmental and food safety, the development of synergistic systems integrating efficient bisphenol trace sensing and green photocatalytic degradation has emerged as a current research focus. In this study, a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing-degradation integrated platform was successfully developed for the detection and degradation of bisphenol through the uniform modification of hydrogen-bonded organic framework nanorods loaded with gold nanoparticles (HOFs@Au). Based on the remarkable molecular enrichment effect of the porous structure of HOFs and the strong localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect from the AuNPs, the composite system exhibited excellent trace detection performance.

In this paper, the electronic structure and photoelectric properties of graphdiyne nanotubes with armchair (A-GDYNT) and zigzag (Z-GDYNT) types have been studied. Calculations show that as n decreases, the divergence in gap values between (n)-A-GDYNT and (n)-Z-GDYNT increases. This is mainly attributed to the edge effect arising from their different boundaries.

Liquid metals (LM) are emerging plasmonic nanomaterials with transformable surface plasmon resonances (SPR) due to their liquid-like deformability. This study delves into the plasmonic properties of LM nanoparticles, with a focus on EGaIn (eutectic gallium-indium)-based materials. Leveraging Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations, we explored the localized SPR (LSPR) effects of EGaIn nanoparticles with various shapes, including nanospheres, dimers, nanorods, nanodisks, nanoellipses, nanocubes, and nanocuboids, in the broad range of the ultraviolet (UV)-visible-near infrared (NIR) spectrum.
