Surface Plasmon Resonances of Free‐Standing Gold Nanowires Fabricated by Nanoskiving

Down to the wire: A top-down technique that combines photolithography, thin-film metal deposition, and thin-film sectioning has been developed to fabricate patterned arrays of gold nanowires of uniform, controllable length, width, and height. A systematic study of the dependence of the surface plasmon resonance (see picture) on the geometry of these wires is presented.
