Metallic nanostructures exhibit strong interactions with electromagnetic radiation, known as
the localized surface plasmon resonance. In recent years, there is significant interest and …

One of the key challenges in two-dimensional (2D) materials is to go beyond graphene, a
prototype 2D polymer (2DP), and to synthesize its organic analogues with structural control …

Wrinkled surfaces have attracted enormous interest during the past years due to their
various wrinkling patterns and impressive multifunctional properties. With the growing …

Nanorattles are metallic core–shell particles with core and shell separated by a dielectric
spacer. These nanorattles have been identified as a promising class of nanoparticles, due to …

A novel approach was developed using PDMS-substrates with surface-aligned
nanotopography gradients, varying unidirectional in amplitude and wavelength, for studying …

Through billions of years of evolution, nature has been able to create highly sophisticated
and ordered structures in living systems, including cells, cellular components and viruses …

We investigate the formation of chains of few plasmonic nanoparticles so-called plasmonic
oligomers by strain-induced fragmentation of linear particle assemblies. Detailed …

Controlled surface wrinkling is widely applied for structuring surfaces in the micro-and nano-
range. The formation of cracks in the wrinkling process is however limiting applications, and …

We investigated the surface reformation of poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) elastomers by
means of ion beam bombardment for fabricating wrinkle structures. Oxidation on the PDMS …

One of the most interesting topics in physical science and materials science is the creation of
complex wrinkled structures on thin-film surfaces because of their several advantages of …
