20130252016 | METAMATERIAL THIN FILMS - A metamaterial thin film with plasmonic properties formed by depositing metallic films by atomic layer deposition onto a substrate to form a naturally occurring mosaic-like nanostructure having two-dimensional features with air gaps between the two-dimensional features. Due to the unique deposition nanostructure, plasmonic thin films of metal or highly conducting materials can be produced on any substrate, including fabrics and biological materials. In addition, these plasmonic materials can be used in conjunction with geometric patterns that may be used to create multiple resonance plasmonic metamaterials. | 09-26-2013 |
