Large-scale and tunable transparent displays based on silver nanoparticles metasurface.

We report a transparent display based on a metasurface of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), consisting of a transparent substrate and a layer of Ag NPs deposited by a dielectric film. The Ag NPs metasurface is prepared by a simple and direct annealing process. It presents a deep transmission valley at the wavelength of= 468 nm and enables desired transparent display by projecting the monochromatic image onto the metasurface.

Generation of unconventional Fano-comb resonances in multilayered core-shell nanoparticles.

We theoretically propose a design of core-shell nanoparticles consisting of a dielectric core coated by several alternating plasmonic and dielectric shell layers for the generation of comb-like scattering resonances. We demonstrate that the obtained scattering resonances are independent of the polarization, observation angle and background medium, since they originate from the unconventional Fano interference between Mie modes with the same multipole moment inside each plasmonic shell layer. Furthermore, we also demonstrate that controlling either the core or the shell parameters can precisely tune the spectral positions of the comb-like resonances.
