摘要

Abstract

Nanomaterials capable of confining light are desirable for enhancing spectroscopies such as Raman scattering

infrared absorption

and nonlinear optical processes. Plasmonic superlattices have shown the ability to host collective resonances in the mid-infrared

but require stringent fabrication processes to create well-ordered structures. Here

we demonstrate how short-range-ordered Au nanoparticle multilayers on a mirror

self-assembled by a sub-nm molecular spacer

support collective plasmon-polariton resonances in the visible and infrared

continuously tunable beyond 11 µm by simply varying the nanoparticle size and number of layers. The resulting molecule-plasmon system approaches vibrational strong coupling

and displays giant Fano dip strengths

SEIRA enhancement factors ~ 10

light-matter coupling strengths

~ 100 cm

−1

Purcell factors ~ 10

and mode volume compression factors ~ 10

. The collective plasmon-polariton mode is highly robust to nanoparticle vacancy disorder and is sustained by the consistent gap size defined by the molecular spacer. Structural disorder efficiently couples light into the gaps between the multilayers and mirror

enabling Raman and infrared sensing of sub-picolitre sample volumes.
