Fabrication of sophisticated metal nanostructures for actively tunable plasmonic devices

Abstract

Metal nanostructures show attractive properties such as surface plasmon resonance. To extend these properties for innovative devices, it is required to develop a fabrication technique for sophisticated metal nanostructures. At the Molecular Device Laboratory at Hokkaido University in Japan, a team of researchers is working on nanotechnology learning from nature to create powerful bio- or nano-devices with manifold applications.
