  • Reduction of metal salts within the block copolymer templates to form dense nanoparticle arrays.
  • Optical characterization including surface plasmon resonance measurements and investigation of SPP interactions.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully produced dense and ordered arrays of gold and gold/silver composite nanoparticles over large areas.
    • Observed characteristic surface plasmon resonances in the visible spectrum for the nanoparticle arrays.
    • Demonstrated interaction between the metal nanoparticle arrays and SPPs on metal thin films, altering the SPP dispersion relation.

    Conclusions:

    • The block copolymer templating method is effective for large-area fabrication of ordered metal nanoparticle arrays.
    • These nanoparticle arrays exhibit tunable optical properties due to surface plasmon resonances.
    • The demonstrated interaction with SPPs opens possibilities for novel plasmonic devices and metamaterials.
