Abstract
With the development of chiral materials, remarkable progress has been made in the application fields of biology, chemistry, and physics in the past decades. Here we develop a solo-Ag-nanowire (NW)-based, bottom-up chiral construction strategy to fabricate a chiral plasmonic film with strong chiroptical activity in the purple-blue band. Finite-difference time-domain simulations predict that helical structures made by Ag NWs with certain interlayer angles possess strong chiroptical intensity. We then apply a Langmuir-Blodgett technique to construct the layered NW assemblies with both handedness via regulating interlayer angle direction. The Ag NW assemblies show the interlayer-angle-and film-thickness-dependent circular dichroism, reaching the highest anisotropic factor of 0.03. These new chiral structures will serve as ideal candidates for chiral sensors thanks to their specific plasmonic properties.
