Three-dimensional plasmonic nanoclusters driven by co-assembly of thermo-plasmonic nanoparticles and colloidal quantum dots [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Metallic nanoparticles that support localized surface plasmons have emerged as fundamental iconic building blocks for nanoscale photonics. Self-assembled clustering of plasmonic nanoparticles with controlled near-field interactions offers an interesting novel route to manipulate the electromagnetic fields at a subwavelength scale. Various bottom-up, self-assembly manners have been successfully devised to build plasmonic nanoparticle clusters displaying attractive optical properties. However, the incapability to configure on-demand architectures limits its practical reliability uses for scalable nanophotonic devices. Furthermore, a critical challenge has been addressing the accurate positioning of functional nanoparticles, including catalytic nanoparticles, dielectric nanoparticles, and quantum dots (QDs) in the clustered plasmonic hotspots. This work proposes a micropipette-based self-assembly method to fabricate three-dimensional architectures composed of colloidal clusters. The heterogeneous colloidal clusters comprising metallic nanoparticles and QDs are fabricated in one step by the micropipette-based self-assembly method. A plasmonic clustered pillar embedding QDs exhibited excellent photoluminescence characteristics compared to a collapsed pillar. The experimental and theoretical demonstration of the localized surface plasmon resonance and thermo-plasmonic properties of the colloidal clusters was performed.
