Area of Science:

  • Plasmonics and Nanomaterials
  • Chiroptical Spectroscopy
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Chiral plasmonic assemblies exhibit tunable chiroptical activity but are difficult to fabricate.
  • Shell-programmed regulation of chiroptical properties remains largely unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the chiroptical activity of core-shell nanoparticle heterodimers.
  • To explore the influence of shell type and thickness on chiroptical response.
  • To demonstrate shell-driven enhancement of chirality for sensing applications.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of core-shell nanoparticle heterodimers with controlled interparticle gaps.
  • Systematic variation of shell material and thickness.
  • Spectroscopic analysis of chiroptical activity and anisotropy factor (g-factor).

Main Results:

  • Shell type dictates chiral peak positions; shell thickness modulates intensity and wavelength shift.
  • Shell deposition intensifies hot-spot chirality and guides enantiomorphous configuration.
  • Achieved 8-10 fold enhancement in chiroptical activity with a maximum g-factor of 1.5 × 10⁻².

Conclusions:

  • Shell-driven chiroptical regulation provides a feasible route to design active materials.
  • Enhanced chiroptical response enables development of switchable recognition units for sensitive detection.
