Abstract
Fabrication of 3D chiral nanoplasmonic structures is always challenging, while the principles for their chiroptical properties are still ambiguous. We will present a combined experimental and theoretical study on 3D chiroplasmonic activity of silver nanospirals (AgNSs), fabricated on sapphire by low temperature glancing angle deposition. AgNSs exhibit bisignated CD spectra in the UV-visible range, in the form of not only individual AgNSs or an array. Compared to individual AgNSs, the array of AgNSs show CD with an intensity 3 order of magnitude higher. It is demonstrated the engineering of chiroplasmonic CD via adjusting spiral parameters, including spiral pitches, number of turns and handedness. Finite element simulations were performed and are in good agreement with the experiments. A LC theory is also employed to explain the difference of chiroplasmonic CD in the UV and visible region.
