Abstract

Artificially engineered chiral plasmonic nanostructures (CPNs) have attracted considerable attention and have been widely studied in the recent decades because of their distinguishing optical properties. Researchers have focused on noble metal nanostructures, because of their strong chiroptical response in visible and near-infrared regions. In this study, a system of a nanorod coupled with a nanosurface, which were both made of silver, was proposed. Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) method was used to fabricate CPNs. The fabricated CPNs generated a strong circular dichroism (CD) signal under visible and near-infrared light illumination. A high peak was observed at approximately 600 nm, and an increasing trend of the CD intensity with a redshift was confirmed when the area of the nanosurface was increased. The generated CD could be tuned easily by changing the area of the nanosurface with an active control of the vapor deposition angle (glancing angle of the substrate) in the GLAD method.
