Plasmonic Gap Nanostructures
In article number 2006966, Jwa‐Min Nam and co‐workers review key concepts and advances in synthesis, assembly, optical properties, and sensing applications of plasmonic gap nanostructures. Plasmonic nanogaps produce largely enhanced optical signals from highly localized electromagnetic fields. Control and exploration in the structures and characteristics of the nanogap...
Plasmonic gap nanostructures (PGNs) have been extensively investigated mainly because of their strongly enhanced optical responses, which stem from the high intensity of the localized field in the nanogap. The recently developed methods for the preparation of versatile nanogap structures open new avenues for the exploration of unprecedented optical properties and development of sensing applications...
