Area of Science:

  • Plasmonics
  • Spectroscopy
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy offers high sensitivity for molecular detection.
  • Existing methods often lack homogeneity over large areas or stability.
  • Macroscopic, stable, and sensitive SEIRA requires advanced nanostructure engineering.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the capabilities of SEIRA spectroscopy using large-area, self-organized nanorod antennas.
  • To engineer gold nanorod antennas with tunable plasmon resonances for enhanced IR absorption.
  • To achieve homogeneous and stable SEIRA activity over macroscopic areas.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of large-area (cm²) self-organized (SO) gold nanorod antenna arrays.
  • Engineering of polarization-sensitive localized plasmon resonances tunable over a broadband near- and mid-infrared spectrum.
  • Utilizing self-assembled monolayers of octadecanthiol (ODT) molecules to demonstrate SEIRA activity.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated polarization-sensitive SEIRA activity, homogeneous and stable over macroscopic areas.
  • Observed strong coupling between plasmonic excitation and molecular stretching modes, resulting in Fano resonances.
  • Achieved signal amplitude improvement up to 5.7%, competitive with lithographic nanoantennas.
  • Showcased stability of the enhanced signal across varying optical excitation spot sizes (micro- to macroscale).

Conclusions:

  • Self-organized nanorod antennas enable highly sensitive and cost-effective SEIRA spectroscopy.
  • The engineered nanostructures provide stable and homogeneous SEIRA response over large areas.
  • This approach advances the development of practical nanosensor devices for molecular detection.
