Advanced Materials 36 (16), 2313299 (18 Apr 2024) [IF 29.4 / JCR 2.3% in Materials Science, Multidisciplinary]

We demonstrate a scalable “one-shot” self-limiting nanoparticle assembly inspired by the underwater adhesion observed in mussels. This technique facilitates the formation of mono-layered nanoparticle assemblies, extending from micro-patterns to covering an entire 2-inch wafer. We illustrate this capability through the creation of disordered plasmonic metasurfaces, highlighting their features in full-color painting and charge-sensitive “pick-and-place” nanoparticle patterning.

Advanced Optical Materials 12(2), 2470004 (16 Jan 2024) [IF 9 / JCR 10% in Optics]

We demonstrate a wafer-scale array of 3D-shaped artificial magnesium nano-rotamers with a programmable dihedral angle between two plasmonic arms, drawing inspiration from an analog clock. They are designed to exhibit programmable both linear and circular polarization-resolved colorations, spanning from invisible to visible colors, potentially useful for various applications in nanophotonic devices.

Advanced Materials 35, 2370239 (24 Aug. 2023) [IF 29.4 / JCR 2.3% in Materials Science, Multidisciplinary]

We present a comprehensive overview of advances in the fabrication of complex 3D-shaped plasmonic nanoparticles and discuss promising applications. Shadow growth is shown to enable programmable material compositions and to expand the possibilities in plasmonics beyond traditional spherical particles to intricate 3D hybrid nanostructures.
