Metasurfaces: Millivolt Modulation of Plasmonic Metasurface Optical Response via Ionic Conductance (Adv. Mater. 31/2017)

Silver nanoparticle nucleation and growth occurring due to ionic transport is the underlying basis for a new millivolt‐scale modulation mechanism of optical response in the plasmonic metasurface, reported in article number 1701044 by Harry A. Atwater and co‐workers. This image is an artistic represe...

Summary:Silver nanoparticle nucleation and growth occurring due to ionic transport is the underlying basis for a new millivolt‐scale modulation mechanism of optical response in the plasmonic metasurface, reported in article number 1701044 by Harry A. Atwater and co‐workers. This image is an artistic representation of silver migration across alumina and indium tin oxide (ITO) towards the surface, like bubbles of air rising upwards in water.
