Intrinsic luminescence blinking from plasmonic nanojunctions

Tobias Kippenberg, Christophe Marcel Georges Galland, Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder, Giulia Tagliabue, Wen Chen, Sachin Suresh Verlekar, Karla Banjac, Philippe Andreas Rölli, Aqeel Ahmed

Plasmonic nanojunctions, consisting of adjacent metal structures with nanometre gaps, can support localised plasmon resonances that boost light matter interactions and concentrate electromagnetic fields at the nanoscale. In this regime, the optical respons ...
