Abstract: Plasmonics deals with the phenomena of collective vibration of electrons in the interface between metallic and dielectric media. With the advanced nanofabrication techniques, a broad variety of nanostructures can be designed and fabricated for plasmonic investigations at nanoscale. In this presentation, we will demonstrate our latest results of the design of new plasmonic nanostructures and the characterization of surface plasmon nanostructures with 2D materials by using Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (SNOM), which is one of the unique characterization tools for nano-optical detection, and other techniques, and discuss some fundamental properties for both localized surface plasmons and surface plasmon polaritons arise a new insight and understanding for the electro-optical devices, such as plasmonic PL control, active plasmonic modulator and detectors for energy harvesting.
