Capping metallic nanohelixes with SiO2 nanohelixes to enhance broadband and wide-angle light extinction
Abstract:
In this work, an SiO2 nanohelix array is obliquely deposited upon a metal nanohelix array as an index matching layer to enhance light extinction. Firstly, an SiO2-Ag nanohelix array is fabricated with stronger light extinction than the Ag nanohelix array over wavelengths from 300 nm to 1000 nm at normal incidence. Next, the SiO2-Al-Ag nanohelix array is fabricated; it exhibits broadband and wide-angle light extinction that is stronger that reported for the Al-Ag nanohelix array. The unpolarized extinctance exceeds 90% over wavelengths from 400 nm to 2000 nm and angles of incidence from 0° to 70°.

Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction
Generalization occurs when a behavior reinforced in one context is performed in similar situations. For instance, a student who studies diligently for calculus and receives excellent grades might apply the same study habits to psychology and history, expecting similar results. Generalization shows how learning in one setting can influence behavior in...

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
