Active 3D plasmonics — •Na Liu — Kirchhoff Institute for Physics, University of Heidelberg — MPI for Intelligent Systems, Stuttgart, Germany

Active control of three-dimensional configuration is one of the key steps towards smart plasmonic nanostructures with desired functionalities. We lay out a multi-disciplinary strategy to create active 3D plasmonic nanostructures, which execute DNA-regulated conformational changes on the nanoscale.

Construction of 3D reconfigurable plasmonic nanostructures witnesses major technological limitations, arising from the required subwavelength dimensions and controlled 3D motion. There have been considerable efforts on integration of plasmonic nanostructures with active platforms using top-down techniques. Here we lay out and implement a multi-disciplinary strategy to create active 3D plasmonic nanostructures by merging plasmonics and DNA nanotechnology on the nanoscale. First, we show the creation of a reconfigurable plasmonic switch, which can execute DNA-regulated conformational changes. In one role, DNA works as molecular platform for organizing plasmonic nanoparticles into a 3D architecture. In the other role, DNA is used as fuel to drive the constructed 3D plasmonic switch along fully programmable routes. Simultaneously, the 3D plasmonic switch serves as optical reporter, which transduces its own conformational information into optical circular dichroism changes upon external stimuli in real time. We also demonstrate the first plasmonic walker.
