Nanomeshes at Liquid Interfaces: From Free‐Standing Hole Arrays toward Metal–Insulator–Metal Architectures

Abstract: sometimes also referred to as double fishnet structures, give rise to negative refraction. [5] However, the majority of these metalinsulator-metal (MIM) structures are fabricated using top-down methods like e-beam lithography or focused-ion-beam milling. These techniques not only are very time consuming but also need sophisticated equipment making the production process expensive and hardly applicable to large areas. Especially, multilayer structures are difficult to access using classical top-down methods. Co… Show more

“…In order to prepare freestanding polymer films that encapsulate our plasmonic colloidal monolayers, we employed glass substrates with a sacrificial ZnO layer that was prepared using a sol−gel method. 48,49 Initially, glass slides were cleaned by sonication for 15 min in an aqueous Hellmanex solution (2 vol %). After that, the glass substrates were rinsed with MQ water, further sonicated in ethanol for 15 = 366 nm), which was placed directly above the spinning sample, was turned on in order to initiate UV curing of the NOA polymer.…”

“…Removal of the colloidal mask by an adhesive tape reveals the nanohole arrays. 64 Scanning electron microscopy images of the produced samples (Figure 1e,f) show the hexagonal order of the nanoholes (Figure 1e), along with characteristic defects inherited from the colloidal mask, as discussed above (Figure 1f). Depending on the self-assembly conditions, monolayers with large or small grains can be produced (Figure 1a−c), as evidenced by its structural coloration resulting from constructive interference of nanoparticle arrays.…”

“… We then deposit a thin gold film (20 nm, 1 nm titanium as an adhesion promoter), silicon dioxide (20 nm), and again gold (20 nm) through the non-close-packed monolayer. Removal of the colloidal mask by an adhesive tape reveals the nanohole arrays . Scanning electron microscopy images of the produced samples (Figure e,f) show the hexagonal order of the nanoholes (Figure e), along with characteristic defects inherited from the colloidal mask, as discussed above (Figure f).…”
