The Cost

Large-area and uniform plasmonic nanostructures have often been fabricated by simply evaporating noble metals such as gold and silver on a variety of nanotemplates such as nanopores, nanotubes, and nanorods. However, some highly uniform nanotemplates are limited to be utilized by long, complex, and expensive fabrication. Here, we introduce a cost-effective and high-throughput fabrication method for plasmonic interference coupled nanostructures based on quasi-uniform anodic aluminum oxide (QU-AAO) nanotemplates. Industrial aluminum, with a purity of 99.5%, and copper were used as a base template and a plasmonic material, respectively. The combination of these modifications saves more than 18 h of fabrication time and reduces the cost of fabrication 30-fold. From optical reflectance data, we found that QU-AAO based plasmonic nanostructures exhibit similar optical behaviors to highly ordered (HO) AAO-based nanostructures. By adjusting the thickness of the AAO layer and its pore size, we could easily control the optical properties of the nanostructures. Thus, we expect that QU-AAO might be effectively utilized for commercial plasmonic applications.
