Abstract Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is an established method for producing high‐purity thin films, but it typically necessitates the pre‐ and post‐processing using a mask to produce structures. This study presents novel maskless patterning technique that enables area‐selective CVD of gold. A focused electron beam used decompose metal–organic precursor Au(acac)Me 2 locally, thereby creating autocatalytically active seed layer subsequent with same precursor. The procedure can be included...
Abstract Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is the gold standard for studying species. As an example, in structural biology, it allows to extract information about distance distributions on nanometer scale via site-directed spin labeling. Conventional pulsed EPR of biological samples currently limited relatively large sample concentrations and cryogenic temperatures, mainly due low sensitivity significant dead time associated with conventional resonator-based setups, essentially...
Plasmonic antennas with helical geometry can convert linearly polarized dipole radiation into purely circularly far-fields, and vice versa. Besides large Purcell enhancements, they possess a wide tunability due to the dependence of their resonant modes. Here, coupling emitter embedded in thin film plasmonic single double helices is numerically studied. Using higher-order finite element method (FEM), wavelength dependent enhancement different positions orientations calculated far-fields...

Abstract This study discusses the importance of accurately calculating optical response Bragg gratings and challenges associated with 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for simulating large-scale structures. The grating section in monolithic extended cavity diode lasers is substantial size, making FDTD simulations computationally challenging due to their complexity. In order assess accuracy simulations, we compare them experimental results. Using a precise model design, involving...

Near-field optical microscopy and spectroscopy provide high-resolution imaging below the diffraction limit, crucial in physics, chemistry, biology for studying molecules, nanoparticles, viruses. These techniques use a sharp metallic tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM) to enhance incoming scattered light by excited near-fields at apex, leading high sensitivity spatial resolution few nanometers. However, this restricts near-field orientation out-of-plane polarization, limiting polarization...
