Abstract:
|
We show that nanoimprint lithography combined with electron-beam evaporation provides a cost-efficient, rapid, and reproducible method to fabricate conical nanostructures with very sharp tips on flat surfaces in high volumes. We demonstrate the method by preparing a wafer-scale array of gold nanocones with an average tip radius of 5 nm. Strong local fields at the tips enhance the second-harmonic generation by over 2 orders of magnitude compared with a nonsharp reference. |
