Abstract
For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the properties of the Faraday effect are addressed in a magnetoplasmonic nanostructure with nonuniform spatial distribution of the magnetization. It is shown that the coincidence in period and phase between magnetization modulation and the field of the optical mode provides the resonant enhancement of the Faraday effect. This effect is observed for both the surface plasmon polariton and waveguide modes.

A New Approach to the Formation of Nanosized Gold and Beryllium Films by Ion-Beam Sputtering Deposition. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12030470. [PMID: 35159815 PMCID: PMC8840201 DOI: 10.3390/nano12030470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2021] [Revised: 01/24/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Thin films of beryllium and gold that are several tens of nanometers thick were obtained, for the first time, on silicon and quartz substrates by the ion-beam method with tenfold alternation of deposition and partial sputtering of the nanosized metal layer. Scanning electron and atomic force microscopy indicate the predominant lateral growth of nanosized metal layers along the substrate surface. Optical spectra indicate the suppression of the localized plasmon resonance. The growth of the film occurs under the influence of the high-energy component of the sputtered metal atoms’ flux. The main role in the formation of the nanosized metal film is played by the processes of the elastic collision of incident metal atoms with the atoms of a substrate and a growing metal film. Metal films that are obtained by the tenfold application of the deposition–sputtering of a nanoscale metal layer are characterized by stronger adhesion to the substrate and have better morphological, electrical, and optical characteristics than those that are obtained by means of direct single deposition.

NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12030405. [PMID: 35159749 PMCID: PMC8838305 DOI: 10.3390/nano12030405] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2021] [Revised: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 01/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
A method of spectrally selective detection of short spin waves (or magnons) by means of the transverse magneto-optical (MO) intensity effect in transmission in the magnetoplasmonic nanostructure is proposed. We considered the spin waves with a wavelength equal to or less than (by an integer number of times) the period of the plasmonic structure, that is, of the order of hundreds of nanometers or 1-2 μm. The method is based on the analysis of the MO effect spectrum versus the modulation of the sample magnetization (created by the spin wave) and related spatial symmetry breaking in the magnetic layer. The spatial symmetry breaking leads to the appearance of the MO effect modulation at the normal incidence of light in the spectral range of the optical states (the SPP and the waveguide modes) and the breaking of the antisymmetry of the effect with respect to the sign of the incidence angle of light. We reveal that the magnitude of the MO effect varies periodically depending on the spatial shift of the spin wave with respect to the plasmonic grating. The period of this modulation is equal to the period of the spin wave. All these facts allow for the detection of spin waves of a certain wavelength propagating in a nanostructure by measuring the MO response.

Abstract
We propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, technique for magnetoplasmonic nanostructures fabrication based on the pulse force nanolithography method. It allows one to create the high-quality magnetoplasmonic nanostructures that have lower total losses than the gratings made by the electron-beam lithography. The method provides control of the surface plasmon polaritons excitation efficiency by varying the grating parameters such as the scratching depth or the number of scratches in a single period. The quality of the plasmonic gratings was estimated by means of the transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect that is extremely sensitive to the finesse of a plasmonic structure.

Abstract
Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMM) based on multilayered metal/dielectric films or ordered arrays of metal nanorods in a dielectric matrix are extremely attractive optical materials for manipulating over the parameters of the light flow. One of the most promising tools for tuning the optical properties of metamaterialsin situis the application of an external magnetic field. However, for the case of HMM based on the ordered arrays of magneto-plasmonic nanostructures, this effect has not been clearly demonstrated until now. In this paper, we present the results of synthesis of HMM based on the highly-ordered arrays of bisegmented Au/Ni nanorods in porous anodic alumina templates and a detailed study of their optical and magneto-optical properties. Distinct enhancement of the magneto-optical (MO) effects along with their sign reversal is observed in the spectral vicinity of epsilon-near-zero and epsilon-near-pole spectral regions. The underlying mechanism is the amplification of the MO polarization plane rotation initiated by Ni segments followed by the light propagation in a strongly birefringent HMM. This stays in agreement with the phenomenological description and relevant numerical calculations.

All-dielectric magnetic metasurface for advanced light control in dual polarizations combined with high-Q resonances. Nat Commun 2020; 11:5487.

Abstract
Nanostructured magnetic materials provide an efficient tool for light manipulation on sub-nanosecond and sub-micron scales, and allow for the observation of the novel effects which are fundamentally impossible in smooth films. For many cases of practical importance, it is vital to observe the magneto-optical intensity modulation in a dual-polarization regime. However, the nanostructures reported on up to date usually utilize a transverse Kerr effect and thus provide light modulation only for p-polarized light. We present a concept of a transparent magnetic metasurface to solve this problem, and demonstrate a novel mechanism for magneto-optical modulation. A 2D array of bismuth-substituted iron-garnet nanopillars on an ultrathin iron-garnet slab forms a metasurface supporting quasi-waveguide mode excitation. In contrast to plasmonic structures, the all-dielectric magnetic metasurface is shown to exhibit much higher transparency and superior quality-factor resonances, followed by a multifold increase in light intensity modulation. The existence of a wide variety of excited mode types allows for advanced light control: transmittance of both p- and s-polarized illumination becomes sensitive to the medium magnetization, something that is fundamentally impossible in smooth magnetic films. The proposed metasurface is very promising for sensing, magnetometry and light modulation applications. The authors fabricate and investigate the metasurface made of 2D iron-garnet subwavelength nanopillar array on a thin iron-garnet film. It exhibits high quality-factor resonances, leading to a multifold increase in light intensity modulation of the transmitted light with an advantage of P and S polarizations both sensitive to the medium magnetization.

Abstract
In this paper, we report all-optical manipulation of magnetization in ferromagnetic Co/Pt thin films enhanced by plasmonic resonances. By annealing a thin Au layer, we fabricate large-area Au nanoislands on top of the Co/Pt magnetic thin films, which show plasmonic resonances around the wavelength of 606 nm. Using a customized magneto-optical Kerr effect setup, we experimentally observe an 18.5% decrease in the minimum laser power required to manipulate the magnetization, comparing the on- and off-resonance conditions. The results are in very good agreement with numerical simulations. Our research findings demonstrate the possibility to achieve an all-optical magnetic recording with low energy consumption, low cost, and high areal density by integrating plasmonic nanostructures with magnetic media.

Abstract
Highly anisotropic metal-dielectric structures reveal unique dispersion properties providing new optical effects. Here we study experimentally linear optical and magneto-optical response of arrays of plasmonic gold nanorods and similar structures complemented by a thin nickel film. We show that both types of structures reveal distinct optical features expected for hyperbolic media and associated with the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) and epsilon-near-pole (ENP) points. In the case of Ni-containing nanocomposites, we observe linear magneto-optical effects in transmission through the structure, increasing in the vicinity of these points. This observation reveals an important role of the local field enhancement in a hyperbolic medium associated with ENZ and ENP dispersion points in the appearance of magneto-optical activity of magnetic hyperbolic metamaterials.

Abstract
We propose a perspective type of insulator-metal-insulator magnetoplasmonic crystal waveguide, composed of a gold grating placed between two garnet layers. Using an original non-perturbing method for the deposition of the upper magneto-dielectric layer, we fabricate the samples and provide experimental results evidencing the coupling of surface plasmon-polaritons propagating on the opposite Au/garnet interfaces. In contrast to traditional Au/garnet magnetoplasmonic crystals, spectra of the magneto-optical effect measured in transmission through this waveguide demonstrate rather specific features: a high-quality resonance for the long-range surface plasmon-polariton and a broad 60 nm wide resonance for the short-range surface plasmon-polariton. Our findings open new routes towards the development of high-sensitivity robust magnetoplasmonic sensors.

Abstract
We present an experimental study of optical second harmonic generation (SHG) from arrays of nanostructures exhibiting collective plasmon resonances in the visible spectral range. Gold nanoparticles with the lateral diameter of 100 nm are packed in a square lattice with the period of 400 nm and are covered by a 90 nm thick iron garnet layer. We show an enhancement of SHG in the spectral vicinity of the lattice surface plasmon resonance. It is demonstrated that application of the external DC magnetic field results in a spectral shift of the SHG maximum up to 5 nm, accompanied by a pronounced phase modulation of the second harmonic wave. This spectral shift significantly prevails over the analogous linear magneto-optical effect and is explained by the interference of resonant and nonresonant SHG contributions of various nature.
