Plasmonic Circular Dichroism of Chiral Metal Nanoparticle Assemblies

Fan, Zhiyuan, Govorov, Alexander O.·2010·Nano Letters

Abstract

We describe from the theoretical point of view a plasmonic mechanism of optical activity in chiral complexes composed of metal nanoparticles (NPs). In our model, the circular dichroism (CD) signal comes from the Coulomb interaction between NPs. We show that the CD spectrum is very sensitive to the geometry and composition of a chiral complex and also has typically both positive and negative bands. In our calculations, the strongest CD signals were found for the helix geometry resembling helical structures of many biomolecules. For chiral tetramers and pyramids, the symmetry of a frame of a complex is very important for the formation of a strong CD response. Chiral natural molecules (peptides, DNA, etc.) often have strong CD signals in the UV range and typically show weak CD responses in the visible range of photon energies. In contrast to the natural molecules, the described mechanism of plasmonic CD is able to create strong CD signals in the visible wavelength range. This plasmonic mechanism offers a unique possibility to design colloidal and other nanostructures with strong optical chirality.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
