ENERGY TRANSFER THROUGH SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE EXCITATION ON MULTISEGMENTED NANOWIRES

摘要

Disclosed herein is energy transfer on multisegmented nanowires via surface plasmon resonance excitation of visible light, such as solar energy, absorbed by metals sensitive to visible light and transferred to metals insensitive to visible light. The nanowires are prepared with controllable gap sizes between different segments by on-wire lithography (OWL).
