Visible frequency magnetic activity in silver nanocluster metamaterial

Abstract

We experimentally observe magnetic resonance in the visible frequency region from self-assembled silver nanocluster metamaterials. Extensive numerical modeling studies were conducted to find the optimal nanocluster dimensions. Self-assembly of silver nanoparticles coated with nanoscale silica coating was then performed on polymer templates fabricated by laser interference lithography. The nanoclusters supported magnetic resonance in the visible region, and the extracted effective permeability exhibited Lorentz-like resonance. The experimentally observed lowest value for the real part of permeability was 0.06. The nanocluster metamaterial represents a practical metamaterial architecture that is compatible with the scalable bottom-up manufacturing process.
