Chiral plasmonic nanostructures have facilitated a promising method for manipulating the polarization state of light. While a precise structural modification at the nanometer-scale-level could offer chiroptic responses at various wavelength ranges, a system that allows fast response control of a given structure has been required. In this study, we constructed uniformly arranged chiral gold helicoids with cobalt thin-film deposition that exhibited a strong chiroptic response with magnetic controllability. Tunable circular dichroism (CD) values from 0.9° to 1.5° at 550 nm wavelength were achieved by reversing the magnetic field direction. In addition, a magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) study revealed that the gap structure and size-related surface plasmon resonance induced MCD peaks. We demonstrated the transmitted color modulation, where the color dynamically changed from green-to-red, by controlling the field strength and polarizer axis. We believe current work broadens our understanding of magnetoplasmonic nanostructure and expands its potential applicability in optoelectronics or optical-communications.

Ultrasensitive, rapid, and reliable biomolecular sensing is essential for biomedical diagnostics, requiring real-time monitoring and detection of trace samples. Optical sensing, particularly plasmonic biosensing, meets these demands through noninvasive, high-sensitivity detection based on the interaction between light and molecules. Here, we present novel plasmonic metamaterial-based sensing strategy, utilizing the circular dichroism (CD) response of grating-coupled surface plasmon resonance (SPR) from chiral nanoparticle grating structure (i.

Distinct advantages of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in molecular detection can benefit the enantioselective discrimination of specific molecular configurations. However, many of the recent methods still lack versatility and require customized anchors to chemically interact with the studied analyte. In this work, we propose the utilization of helicoid-shaped chiral gold nanoparticles arranged in an ordered array on a gold grating surface for enantioselective SERS recognition.

Preparing chiral plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) with strong chiroptical responses is crucial in numerous fields including constructing optical materials, chiral sensing, and chiral-dependent biological processes. However, precise regulation over the chiral optical activity and chiral configuration of plasmonic NPs is still a challenge. In this work, we report Au helicoid NPs with different chiral structures and reversal chirality directed by the oligomeric structure of inducer glutathione (GSH).

Quantitative determination and in situ monitoring of molecular chirality at extremely low concentrations is still challenging with simple optics because of the molecular-scale mismatch with the incident light wavelength. Advances in spectroscopy and nanophotonics have successfully lowered the detection limit in enantioselective sensing, as it can bring the microscopic chiral characteristics of molecules into the macroscopic scale or squeeze the chiral light into the subwavelength scale. Conventional nanophotonic approaches depend mainly on the optical helicity density by localized resonances within an individual structure, such as localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) or dielectric Mie resonances.
