“…is expected to provide facile way for fabrication of unique nanostructures.

Three-dimensional porous nanostructures made of noble metals represent novel class of nanomaterials promising for nonlinear nanooptics and sensors. Such nanostructures are typically fabricated using either reproducible yet time-consuming and costly multi-step lithography protocols or less reproducible chemical synthesis that involve liquid processing with toxic compounds. Here, we combined scalable nanosecond-laser ablation with advanced engineering of the chemical composition of thin substrate-supported Au films to produce nanobumps containing multiple nanopores inside. Most of the nanopores hidden beneath the nanobump surface can be further uncapped using gentle etching of the nanobumps by an Ar-ion beam to form functional 3D plasmonic nanosponges. The nanopores 10–150 nm in diameter were found to appear via laser-induced explosive evaporation/boiling and coalescence of the randomly arranged nucleation sites formed by nitrogen-rich areas of the Au films. Density of the nanopores can be controlled by the amount of the nitrogen in the Au films regulated in the process of their magnetron sputtering assisted with nitrogen-containing discharge gas.

“…Moreover, it has been challenging to realize the desired multipole‐mode interference in complex hybrid resonant nanostructures or to provide suitable hotspots for coupling with optical emitters. The coupling between all‐dielectric nanoresonators or dielectric nanoparticles and either substrates or excitons has been demonstrated to address these challenges, giving rise to unique functionalities such as stronger far‐field scattering cross‐section, [ 183–187 ] directional Fano resonance, [ 39,104,188–190 ] subwavelength waveguiding, [ 43,191,192 ] splitting resonance phenomenon, [ 44,193 ] and near‐field confined local state density. [ 42,194–196 ] In this section, we review recent advances in the manipulation of scattering characteristics beyond single‐level resonators through the coupling effects that result from various particle dispositions, including but not limited to dimers, oligomers (trimers, tetramers, and hexamers), hybrid arrangements, and 1D/2D assemblies.…”

The concentration and manipulation of light in the nanoscale range are fundamental to nanophotonic research. Plasmonic nanoparticles can localize electromagnetic waves within subdiffraction volumes, but they also undergo large Joule losses and inevitable thermal heating. Subwavelength dielectric nanoparticles have emerged as a new class of photonic building blocks that enhance light–matter interactions within nanometric volumes. These nanoparticles exhibit strong electric and magnetic responses with negligible energy dissipation. In recent decades, the design of efficient dielectric nanoresonators has seen tremendous progress. In this review, recent theoretical and experimental advances in characterizing the optical properties of dielectric nanoparticles, from resonant single‐particle scattering characteristics to multimodal interference in complex particle assemblies, are discussed. Specific attention is paid to novel strategies employed to manipulate far‐field Mie‐type scattering, enhance local electromagnetic field, and boost magnetic resonance, as well as ultimately achieve Fano‐like resonance, unidirectional scattering (Kerker conditions), and photon waveguide. A collection of emerging applications of dielectric nanoparticles is also highlighted and the fundamental prospects of designing all‐dielectric/metallic–dielectric photonic nanostructures are considered, particularly those of functional dielectric materials and all‐dielectric 3D assemblies.
