摘要
We fabricate plasmonic nanohole arrays in gold thin films by focused-ion-beam lithography. Subsequent heat treatment of the lithographic patterns induces the growth of sub-100-nm structures including tips, rods, and flakes, all localized in the nanohole-array region. The coupled nanohole-array-nanostructure system comprises an efficient photoemitter. High-brightness photoemission is observed from this construct, following 780-nm femtosecond laser irradiation, using photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM). By comparing our PEEM observables to finite-difference time-domain simulations, we demonstrate that photoemission from the sub-100-nm structures is enhanced in the region of propagating surface plasmons launched from the nanohole arrays.
