Abstract

The substrate cooling method was used in glancing angle deposition to grow a slanted silver nanorod array (NRA). Liquid nitrogen was allowed to flow under the substrate during deposition, and we compared the morphologies of Ag NRAs deposited with and without cooling. The cooling reduced the average width of the nanorods. A Z-shaped nanostructure array composed of three sections of silver NRAs was then deposited under the same cooling conditions. The average tilt angle of the nanorods from the surface normal was varied from the bottom section to the top section with the nanorods of the top section made to lie almost parallel to the substrate. Under normal illumination, the rods in the top section exhibit distinct longitudinal and transverse plasmon modes that cause strong polarization-dependent transmittance and reflectance.
