High-quality crystalline optical nanoantennas

Abstract

[CASTELLÀ] Actualmente existe un creciente interés en el nanodiseño de alta precisión de estructuras plasmónicas. Varios métodos basados principalmente en la evaporación térmica de películas metálicas policristalinas están limitados por la rugosidad y la naturaleza granular de éstas, cosa que hace difícil bajar de los 25 nm. Es posible evitar estas restricciones combinando láminas monocristalinas de oro sintetizadas químicamente con la precisión que el FIB ofrece. En la presente Tesis de Máster, aplico este procedimiento a nanoantenas de apertura optimizadas para localizar y aumentar fuertemente el campo cercano, alcanzando nanogaps menores que 10 nm. Su caracterización revela características ópticas superiores que podrían beneficiar a un gran número de aplicaciones, tales como microscopía, biodetección o circuitos plasmónicos.

Diversos mètodes basats principalment en l'evaporació tèrmica de pel·lícules metàl·liques policristalines estan limitats per la rugositat i la naturalesa granular d'aquestes, cosa que fa difícil baixar dels 25 nm. És possible evitar aquestes restriccions combinant làmines monocristalines d'or sintetitzades químicament amb la precisió que el FIB ofereix. En la present Tesi de Màster, aplico aquest procediment a nanoantenes d'obertura optimitzades per localitzar i augmentar fortament el camp proper, aconseguint nanogaps menors que 10 nm. La seva caracterització revela propietats òptiques superiors que podrien beneficiar un gran nombre d'aplicacions, tals com microscòpia, biodetecció o circuits plasmònics.

[ANGLÈS] Nowadays there is an increasing interest in high resolution nanopatterning of plasmonic structures. Several approaches mainly based on thermal evaporation of poly-crystalline metallic films are limited by the roughness and the grainy nature of such films, making it difficult to go below 25 nm. Chemically synthesized single-crystalline gold flakes combined with the precision that FIB milling provides can overcome those restrictions. In the present Master Thesis, I apply this procedure to aperture nanoantennas optimized for strong and localized field enhancement, reaching gaps smaller than 10 nm. Their characterization reveals improved optical features which could benefit a wide range of applications, such as microscopy, biosensing or plasmonic circuits.
