During the past decade, significant progress has been made in field of resonant optics ranging from fundamental aspects to concrete applications. While several techniques have introduced for fabrication highly defined metallic nanostructures, synthesis complex, free-standing three-dimensional (3D) structures is still an intriguing, but so far intractable, challenge. In this study, we demonstrate a 3D direct-write approach that addresses Specifically, succeeded nanoarchitectures via electron-stimulated reactions, which are applicable on virtually any material and surface morphology. By that, complex nanostructures composed compact, pure gold can be fabricated, reveal strong plasmonic activity pave way new generation nanoplasmonic architectures printed on-demand.
