Abstract
Due to their broken symmetry, chiral plasmonic nanostructures have unique optical properties and numerous applications. However, there is still a lack of comprehension regarding how chirality transfer occurs between circularly polarized light (CPL) and these structures. Here, we thoroughly investigate the plasmon-assisted growth of chiral nanoparticles from achiral Au nanocubes (AuNCs) via CPL without the involvement of any chiral molecule stimulators. We identify the structural chirality of our synthesized chiral plasmonic nanostructures using circular differential scattering (CDS) spectroscopy, which is correlated with scanning electron microscopy imaging at both the single-particle and ensemble levels. Theoretical simulations, including hot-electron surface maps, reveal that the plasmon-induced chirality transfer is mediated by the asymmetric distribution of hot electrons on achiral AuNCs under CPL excitation. Furthermore, we shed light on how this plasmon-induced chirality transfer can also be utilized for chiral growth in bimetallic systems, such as Ag or Pd on AuNCs. The results presented here uncover fundamental aspects of chiral light-matter interaction and have implications for the future design and optimization of chiral sensors and chiral catalysis, among others.

[PMID: 38202516 PMCID: PMC10781037 DOI: 10.3390/nano14010061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
The streamlines of the energy flux (Poynting vectors) and chirality flux as well as the intensity of the electric field around various plasmonic nanostructures (nanocube, nanocuboid, nanotriangle, hexagonal nanoplate and bowtie nanoantenna) induced by a circularly polarized (CP) or linearly polarized (LP) light were studied theoretically. The boundary element method combined with the method of moment was used to solve a set of surface integral equations, based on the Stratton-Chu formulation, for analyzing the highly distorted electromagnetic (EM) field in the proximity of these nanostructures. We discovered that the winding behavior of these streamlines exhibits versatility for various modes of the surface plasmon resonance of different nanostructures. Recently, using plasmonic nanostructures to facilitate a photochemical reaction has gained significant attention, where the hot carriers (electrons) play important roles. Our findings reveal a connection between the flow pattern of energy flux and the morphology of the photochemical deposition around various plasmonic nanostructures irradiated by a CP light. For example, numerical results exhibit vertically helical streamlines of the Poynting vector around an Au nanocube and transversely twisted-roll streamlines around a nanocuboid. Additionally, the behaviors of the winding energy and chirality fluxes at the gap and corners of a plasmonic bowtie nanoantenna, implying a highly twisted EM field, depend on the polarization of the incident LP light. Our analysis of the streamlines of the Poynting vector and chirality flux offers an insight into the formation of plasmon-enhanced photocatalysis.

Abstract
Chiral plasmonic nanoparticles have attracted much attention because of their strong chiroptical responses and broad scientific applications. However, the types of chiral plasmonic nanoparticles have remained limited. Herein we report on a new type of chiral nanoparticle, chiral Au nanorod (NR) with five-fold rotational symmetry, which is synthesized using chiral molecules. Three different types of Au seeds (Au elongated nanodecahedrons, nanodecahedrons, and nanobipyramids) are used to study the growth behaviors. Different synthesis parameters, including the chiral molecules, surfactant, reductant, seeds, and Au precursor, are systematically varied to optimize the chiroptical responses of the chiral Au NRs. The chiral scattering measurements on the individual chiral Au NRs and their dimers are performed. Intriguingly, the chiroptical signals of the individual chiral Au NRs and their end-to-end dimers are similar, while those of the side-by-side dimers are largely reduced. Theoretical calculations and numerical simulations reveal that the different chiroptical responses of the chiral NR dimers are originated from the coupling effect between the plasmon resonance modes. Our study enriches chiral plasmonic nanoparticles and provides valuable insight for the design of plasmonic nanostructures with desired chiroptical properties.

Abstract
Heterogeneous bimetallic nanochains (NCs) have gained significant attention in the field of catalysis due to their abundant active sites, multi-component synergistic catalytic, and exotic electronic structures. Here, we present a novel approach to synthesize one-dimensional heterogeneous bimetallic nanochains using a local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) based strategy of liquid-phase photochemical welding method containing self-assembly and subsequent welding processes. Initially, we introduce additives that facilitate the self-assembly and alignment of Au nanoparticles (NPs) into orderly lines. Subsequently, the LSPR effect of the Au NPs is stimulated by light, enabling the second metal precursor to overcome the energy barrier and undergo photodeposition in the gap between the arranged Au NPs, thereby connecting the nano-metal particles. This strategy can be extended to the photochemical welding of Au NPs-Ag and Au NRs. Using electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) as a proof-of-concept application, the obtained one-dimensional structure of Au5Pt1 NCs exhibit promoted HER performances, where the mass activity of the Au5Pt1 nanochains is found to be 4.8 times higher than that of Au5Pt1 NPs and 10.4 times higher than that of commercial 20 wt% Pt/C catalysts. The promoted HER performance is benefited from the electron conduction ability and abundant active sites.

Abstract
Aiming at the problems of narrow working bandwidth, low efficiency, and complex structure of existing terahertz chiral absorption, we propose a chiral metamirror composed of C-shaped metal split ring and L-shaped vanadium dioxide (VO2). This chiral metamirror is composed of three layers of structure, a gold substrate at the bottom, the first polyethylene cyclic olefin copolymer (Topas) dielectric layer and VO2-metal hybrid structure as the top. Our theoretical results led us to show that this chiral metamirror has a circular dichroism (CD) value greater than 0.9 at 5.70 to 8.55 THz and has a maximum value of 0.942 at f = 7.18 THz. In addition, by adjusting the conductivity of VO2, the CD value can be continuously adjustable from 0 to 0.942, which means that the proposed chiral metamirror supports the free switching of the CD response between the on and off states, and the CD modulation depth exceeds 0.99 in the range of 3 to 10 THz. Moreover, we discuss the influence of structural parameters and the change of incident angle on the performance of the metamirror. Finally, we believe that the proposed chiral metamirror has important reference value in the terahertz range for constructing chiral light detectors, CD metamirrors, switchable chiral absorbers and spin-related systems. This work will provide a new idea for improving the terahertz chiral metamirror operating bandwidth and promote the development of terahertz broadband tunable chiral optical devices.

Abstract
Understanding and controlling chirality in inorganic crystalline materials at the nanoscale is crucial in elucidating fundamental chirality-dependent physical and chemical processes as well as advancing new technological prospects, but significant challenges remain due to the lack of material control. Here, we have developed a facile and general bottom-up synthetic strategy for achieving chiral plasmonic Au nanostructures, including nanocubes and nanorods with fine chirality control. The underlying chiral mechanism enabled by the chiral boundary morphology is substantiated by theoretical modeling and finite element method (FEM) simulation. Because of the robustness of induced handedness and their small size, these as-synthesized chiral nanostructures can be further employed as building blocks toward the formation of complex chiral nanostructures. We have demonstrated a new class of chiral hybrid metal-semiconductor nanostructures that can allow integration of chirality with other properties and functionalities. All of these together have paved the way to engineer nanoscale inorganic chirality and thus study various emerging chirality-entangled effects with practical technological applications.

Abstract
Although toroidal dipole (TD) resonance is a highly localized mode with a high quality (Q) factor, in most chiral structures the TD resonance is much weaker than the electric or magnetic dipole resonances and contributes little to the chiral response. In this Letter, we theoretically propose a chiral all-dielectric TD metasurface that possesses giant optical chirality with a certain degree of incident-angle robustness induced by a strong TD resonance. Interestingly, the symmetry of the system can be broken simultaneously at oblique incidence to produce chiral quasi-bound states in the continuum. The nearly unchanged high-Q TD resonance within a certain range of incident angles can avoid the problem of a reduced image quality caused by the incident-angle sensitivity, as demonstrated by the polarization-multiplexed-field image displays. The giant chirality with a certain degree of incident-angle robustness induced by the TD mode would be useful in some applications, including high-quality optical imaging, high-performance asymmetric transmission, and sensing.

Abstract
The development of plasmonic nanomaterials with chiral geometry has drawn extensive attention owing to their practical implications in chiral catalysis, chiral metamaterials, or enantioselective biosensing and medicine. However, due to the lack of effective synthesis methods of hydrophobic nanoparticles (NPs) showing intrinsic, plasmonic chirality, their applications are currently limited to aqueous systems. In this work, we resolve the problem of achieving hydrophobic Au NPs with intrinsic chirality by efficient phase transfer of water-soluble NPs using low molecular weight, liquid crystal-like ligands. We confirmed that, after the phase transfer, Au NPs preserve strong, far-field circular dichroism (CD) signals, attesting their chiral geometry. The universality of the method is exemplified by using different types of NPs and ligands. We further highlight the potential of the proposed approach to realize chiral plasmonic, inorganic/organic nanocomposites with block copolymers, liquid crystals, and compounds forming physical gels. All soft matter composites sustain plasmonic CD signals with electron microscopies confirming well-dispersed nanoinclusions. The developed methodology allows us to expand the portfolio of plasmonic NPs with intrinsic structural chirality, thereby broadening the scope of their applications toward soft-matter based systems.

Abstract
Nanostructured surfaces with designed optical functionalities, such as metasurfaces, allow efficient harvesting of light at the nanoscale, enhancing light-matter interactions for a wide variety of material combinations. Exploiting light-driven matter excitations in these artificial materials opens up a new dimension in the conversion and management of energy at the nanoscale. In this review, we outline the impact, opportunities, applications, and challenges of optical metasurfaces in converting the energy of incoming photons into frequency-shifted photons, phonons, and energetic charge carriers. A myriad of opportunities await for the utilization of the converted energy. Here we cover the most pertinent aspects from a fundamental nanoscopic viewpoint all the way to applications.

Abstract
This paper proposed a periodic midinfrared broadband chiral structure composed of indium tin oxide (ITO) conical helix. The simulation results show that the structure achieves a good broadband CD in the midinfrared. At the wavelength of 9.2 μm, the maximum value of CD is 0.55, the FWHM (full width half maximum) of CD is 7.2 μm, and the wavelength range is from 5.7 μm to 12.9 μm. The simulation results also show that compared with the traditional uniform spiral structure with the same radius, the conical spiral structure can achieve better broadband circular dichroism in the midinfrared band. This provides a new idea for the design of broadband polarization state control devices in the midinfrared band.

Abstract
Two-dimensional layered materials are considered ideal platforms to study novel small-scale optoelectronic devices due to their unique electronic structures and fantastic physical properties. However, it is urgent to further improve the light–matter interaction in these materials because their light absorption efficiency is limited by the atomically thin thickness. One of the promising approaches is to engineer the plasmonic environment around 2D materials for modulating light–matter interaction in 2D materials. This method greatly benefits from the advances in the development of nanofabrication and out-plane van der Waals interaction of 2D materials. In this paper, we review a series of recent works on 2D materials integrated with plasmonic environments, including the plasmonic-enhanced photoluminescence quantum yield, strong coupling between plasmons and excitons, nonlinear optics in plasmonic nanocavities, manipulation of chiral optical signals in hybrid nanostructures, and the improvement of the performance of optoelectronic devices based on composite systems.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles have unique properties which can be harnessed to manipulate light at the nanoscale. With recent advances in synthesis protocols that increase their stability, gold-silver core-shell nanoparticles have become suitable building blocks for plasmonic nanostructures to expand the range of attainable optical properties. Here we tune the plasmonic response of gold-silver core-shell nanorods over the visible spectrum by varying the thickness of the silver shell. Through the chiral arrangement of the nanorods with the help of various DNA origami designs, the spectral tunability of the plasmon resonance frequencies is transferred into circular dichroism signals covering the spectrum from 400 nm to 700 nm. Our approach could aid in the construction of better sensors as well as metamaterials with a tunable optical response in the visible region.

Abstract
Controlled assembly of inorganic nanoparticles with different compositions, sizes and shapes into higher-order structures of collective functionalities is a central pursued objective in chemistry, physics, materials science and nanotechnology. The emerging chiral superstructures, which break spatial symmetries at the nanoscale, have attracted particular attention, owing to their unique chiroptical properties and potential applications in optics, catalysis, biology and so on. Various bottom-up strategies have been developed to build inorganic chiral superstructures based on the intrinsic configurational preference of the building blocks, external fields or chiral templates. Self-assembled inorganic chiral superstructures have demonstrated significant superior optical activity from the strong electric/magnetic coupling between the building blocks, as compared with the organic counterparts. In this Review, we discuss recent progress in preparing self-assembled inorganic chiral superstructures, with an emphasis on the driving forces that enable symmetry breaking during the assembly process. The chiroptical properties and applications are highlighted and a forward-looking trajectory of where research efforts should be focused is discussed.

Abstract
We report a computational study at the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) level of the chiro-optical spectra of chiral gold nanowires coupled in dimers. Our goal is to explore whether it is possible to overcome destructive interference in single nanowires that damp chiral response in these systems and to achieve intense plasmonic circular dichroism (CD) through a coupling between the nanostructures. We predict a huge enhancement of circular dichroism at the plasmon resonance when two chiral nanowires are intimately coupled in an achiral relative arrangement. Such an effect is even more pronounced when two chiral nanowires are coupled in a chiral relative arrangement. Individual component maps of rotator strength, partial contributions according to the magnetic dipole component, and induced densities allow us to fully rationalize these findings, thus opening the way to the field of plasmonic CD and its rational design.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanocrystals and their assemblies are excellent tools to create functional systems, including systems with strong chiral optical responses. Here we study the possibility of growing chiral plasmonic nanocrystals from strictly nonchiral seeds of different types by using circularly polarized light as the chirality-inducing mechanism. We present a novel theoretical methodology that simulates realistic nonlinear and inhomogeneous photogrowth processes in plasmonic nanocrystals, mediated by the excitation of hot carriers that can drive surface chemistry. We show the strongly anisotropic and chiral growth of oriented nanocrystals with lowered symmetry, with the striking feature that such chiral growth can appear even for nanocrystals with subwavelength sizes. Furthermore, we show that the chiral growth of nanocrystals in solution is fundamentally challenging. This work explores new ways of growing monolithic chiral plasmonic nanostructures and can be useful for the development of plasmonic photocatalysis and fabrication technologies.

Abstract
Inorganic chiral hybrid nanostructures embedding chirality within distinct material compositions can create novel chiral properties and functionalities absent from achiral ones, but remain largely unexplored. We report for the first time a class of chiral plasmonic metal-semiconductor core-shell nanostructures by employing structurally chiral nanoparticles as chirality inducing templates to grow functional shell materials, which allows us to independently control material parameters including core geometry and shell thickness, as well as handedness of the system. We experimentally and theoretically achieve enhanced and tunable chiroptical activity of the hetero-structures as a result of the core-shell strong coupling effect. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, we show the chiral hybrid nanostructures can drive chirality-dependent photocatalytic hydrogen generation under circularly polarized light. This study enables rational design and functionalization of chiral hybrid nanomaterials towards enhanced chiral light-matter interactions and chiral device applications.

Abstract
Bimetal nanochains (NCs) are attracting increasing attention in the fields of catalysis and electrocatalysis due to the synergistic effects in electronic and optical properties, but the fabrication of bimetal NCs remains challenging. Here, we report a general strategy named "nucleation in the irradiation then growth in the dark" for the preparation of Au/M (second metal) NCs. In the irradiation stage, the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of Au NPs is excited to overcome the nucleation energy barrier for the deposition of second metals (Pt, Ag and Pd). In the followed dark process, the preferential growth of second metals on the existed nucleus leads to the formation of nanochain rather than the core/shell nanostructure. In the model reaction of electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution, the optimized Au/Pt NCs showed much better performance compared with the commercial Pt/C.

Abstract
Plasmonic metasurfaces with the photothermal effect have been increasingly investigated for optofluidics. Meanwhile, along with the expanding application of circularly polarized light, a growing number of investigations on chiral plasmonic metasurfaces have been conducted. However, few studies have explored the chirality and the thermal-induced convection of such systems simultaneously. This paper aims to theoretically investigate the dynamics of the thermally induced fluid convection of a chiral plasmonic metasurface. The proposed metasurface exhibits giant circular dichroism in absorption and thus leads to a strong photothermal effect. On the basis of the multiphysical analysis, including optics, thermodynamics, and hydrodynamics, we propose a concept of chiral spectroscopy termed optofluidic circular dichroism. Our results show that different fluid velocities of thermally induced convection appear around a chiral plasmonic metasurface under different circularly polarized excitation. The chiral fluid convection is induced by an asymmetric heat distribution generated by absorbed photons in the plasmonic heater. This concept can be potentially used to induce chiral fluid convection utilizing the chiral photothermal effect. Our proposed structure can potentially be used in various optofluidics applications related to biochemistry, clinical biology, and so on.

Abstract
Chiral plasmonic nanostructures exhibit anomalously strong chiroptical signals and offer the possibility to realize asymmetric photophysical and photochemical processes controlled by circularly polarized light. Here, we use a chiral DNA-assembled nanorod pair as a model system for chiral plasmonic photomelting. We show that both the enantiomeric excess and consequent circular dichroism can be controlled with chiral light. The nonlinear chiroptical response of our plasmonic system results from the chiral photothermal effect leading to selective melting of the DNA linker strands. Our study describes both the single-complex and collective heating regimes, which should be treated with different models. The chiral asymmetry factors of the calculated photothermal and photomelting effects exceed the values typical for the chiral molecular photochemistry at least 10-fold. Our proposed mechanism can be used to develop chiral photoresponsive systems controllable with circularly polarized light.

Abstract
Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) simulations are conducted on a series of chiral gold nanowires to explore whether an enhancement of circular dichroism at the plasmon resonance is possible and identify its quantum-mechanical origin. We find that in linear two-dimensional chiral nanowires the dichroic response is suppressed by destructive interference of nearly degenerate components with opposite signs, pointing to this phenomenon as a common and likely origin of the difficulty encountered so far in achieving a plasmonic CD response in experiment and suggesting nevertheless that these opposite components could be "decoupled" by using multiwall arrangements. In contrast, we predict a giant dichroic response for nanowires with three-dimensional helical coiling. We rationalize this finding via an electronic structure analysis of longitudinal and transversal plasmonic excitations and their coupling into chiral components, and we propose a simple formula for the chiral response as a function of structural parameters (nanowire length and coiling number).

Abstract
The use of nanoplasmonics to control light and heat close to the thermodynamic limit enables exciting opportunities in the field of plasmonic catalysis. The decay of plasmonic excitations creates highly nonequilibrium distributions of hot carriers that can initiate or catalyze reactions through both thermal and nonthermal pathways. In this Perspective, we present the current understanding in the field of plasmonic catalysis, capturing vibrant debates in the literature, and discuss future avenues of exploration to overcome critical bottlenecks. Our Perspective spans first-principles theory and computation of correlated and far-from-equilibrium light-matter interactions, synthesis of new nanoplasmonic hybrids, and new steady-state and ultrafast spectroscopic probes of interactions in plasmonic catalysis, recognizing the key contributions of each discipline in realizing the promise of plasmonic catalysis. We conclude with our vision for fundamental and technological advances in the field of plasmon-driven chemical reactions in the coming years.

Abstract
Here, we propose a planar hot-electron photodetector based on broadband Tamm plasmon resonance using a TiN layer, n-type doped Si layer, and seven pairs of DBRs. Simulation results show high absorption (94.2%) with a full width at half maximum of 239.3 nm, which is 2.9 times that of the Au/DBR configuration. We predict that the photoresponsivity can reach 26.1 mA W-1 at 1140 nm. Since the planar nanofilms for TP resonance are facile to fabricate, this work promotes hot-electron applications in broadband photodetection and other broadband light-harvesting applications.

Abstract
Mirror symmetry breaking in materials is a fascinating phenomenon that has practical implications for various optoelectronic technologies. Chiral plasmonic materials are particularly appealing due to their strong and specific interactions with light. In this work we broaden the portfolio of available strategies toward the preparation of chiral plasmonic assemblies, by applying the principles of chirality synchronization-a phenomenon known for small molecules, which results in the formation of chiral domains from transiently chiral molecules. We report the controlled cocrystallization of 23 nm gold nanoparticles and liquid crystal molecules yielding domains made of highly ordered, helical nanofibers, preferentially twisted to the right or to the left within each domain. We confirmed that such micrometer sized domains exhibit strong, far-field circular dichroism (CD) signals, even though the bulk material is racemic. We further highlight the potential of the proposed approach to realize chiral plasmonic thin films by using a mechanical chirality discrimination method. Toward this end, we developed a rapid CD imaging technique based on the use of polarized light optical microscopy (POM), which enabled probing the CD signal with micrometer-scale resolution, despite of linear dichroism and birefringence in the sample. The developed methodology allows us to extend intrinsically local effects of chiral synchronization to the macroscopic scale, thereby broadening the available tools for chirality manipulation in chiral plasmonic systems.

Abstract
Light-driven synthesis of plasmonic metal nanostructures has garnered broad scientific interests. Although it has been widely accepted that surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-generated energetic electrons play an essential role in this photochemical process, the exact function of plasmon-generated hot holes in regulating the morphology of nanostructures has not been fully explored. Herein, we discover that those hot holes work with surface adsorbates collectively to control the anisotropic growth of gold (Au) nanostructures. Specifically, it is found that hot holes stabilized by surface adsorbed iodide enable the site-selective oxidative etching of Au0, which leads to nonuniform growths along different lateral directions to form six-pointed Au nanostars. Our studies establish a molecular-level understanding of the mechanism behind the plasmon-driven synthesis of Au nanostars and illustrate the importance of cooperation between charge carriers and surface adsorbates in regulating the morphology evolution of plasmonic nanostructures.
