Via #OPG_OMEx: Dilute noble metal films for infrared optics and plasmonics [Invited] https://bit.ly/4s9XHKR #DiluteMetalFilms #PlasmonicMaterials @utaustin.bsky.social 💡⚛️

Ultra-thin sodium films offer low-cost alternative to gold and silver in optical technologies From solar panels to next-generation medical devices, many emerging technologies rely on materials that can manipulate light with extreme precision. These materials—called plasmonic materials—are typi...

#PlasmonicMaterials can manipulate #light with extreme precision typically made from expensive metals like gold or silver. Try structuring #sodium into ultra-thin, precisely patterned films.
