Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used in the treatment of various cancers. However, cisplatin can induce nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity, limiting its dosage and usage. Galangin, a natural flavonol, has been found to exhibit anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in vivo.

We systematically investigate the effects of surface roughness on the characteristics of ultraviolet zinc oxide plasmonic nanolasers fabricated on aluminium films with two different degrees of surface roughness. We demonstrate that the effective dielectric functions of aluminium interfaces with distinct roughness can be analysed from reflectivity measurements. By considering the scattering losses, including Rayleigh scattering, electron scattering, and grain boundary scattering, we adopt the modified Drude-Lorentz model to describe the scattering effect caused by surface roughness and obtain the effective dielectric functions of different Al samples.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent advances in plasmonics have led to the creation of nanolasers, modulators, and detectors that surpass the optical diffraction limit.
  • The study features a surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) nanolaser built with a ZnO nanowire on a single-crystalline aluminum substrate, which simplifies the structure by eliminating the need for an insulator.
  • This new SPP nanolaser achieves a lasing threshold of 20 MW/cm², significantly lower than previous designs, and can operate at temperatures up to 353 K, marking a key advancement in nanolaser technology.
