    University of Connecticut
    Introduction: What Are Plasmons?
    Plasmons are collective excitations of the electron gas:
    “The nature of this charge density wave, known as a plasma oscillation or plasmon, can be understood in terms of a very
    simple model. Imagine displacing the entire electron gas, as a whole, through a distance d with respect to the fixed
    positive background of the ions…observation of energy losses in multiples of ħω when electrons are fired through thin,
    metallic films” Ashcroft & Mermin.

    Introduction: Why are LSPR useful?
    LSPR optical properties are tunable from UV to IR by the size & shape of nanostructures.

    Sharp resonances are achievable for interconnected dipoles.

    Peak location/ FWHM are comparable to unconnected dimers, but blue-shifted.

    Conclusions

    ALD is a promising technique for creating new types of


    electro-optic plasmonic devices with intense EM fields
    created by nanogaps in the 1 - 5 nm range.

    Additionally, we can add interconnects and create


    plasmon resonances similar to unconnected nanorods to
    combine electrical and optical functions. This may lead to
    new devices.
