Abstract: Localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) are the coherent and collective oscillations of conduction band electrons at the surface of metallic nanoparticles. LSPRs are known to localize far-field light to a sub-diffraction-limited length scale, yielding an intense electric field at the particle surface. This effect has been harnessed to dramatically enhance light-matter interactions, leading to a variety of applications such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS),¹ photothermal cancer therapy² and solar energy harvesting.³ Though a variety of near- and far-field optical methods are used to probe LSPRs, the spatial resolution of these methods is on the order of tens of nanometers,⁴ limiting their effectiveness. In contrast, electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) performed in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) combines sub-nanometer resolving power with the capability to excite both optical-accessible and –inaccessible plasmon modes and therefore has emerged as one of the leading techniques used in characterizing LSPRs. In this presentation, I will first briefly introduce (1) the basics of LSPRs and (2) the STEM/EELS technique and then demonstrate (3) the power of STEM/EELS in the characterization of LSPRs based upon my previous work. Finally I will (4) highlight recent research interests of the plasmonics community and what possibilities I pursue to make impact. Figure 1 is a schematic of the working principle of STEM/EELS. Figure 2 shows selected STEM/EELS results.
