Plasmonic nanocavity as a spectroscopic probe for molecules

Plasmonic nanocavities have a promising future in various fields such as plasmon-mediated chemical reactions. Yet unresolved questions remain for the physical process and chemical reaction at the surface of the metal. In a recent study published in Nature Nanotechnology, Oksenberg et al. constructed energy-tunable nanoreactors with different chemical environments, revealing distinct plasmon-driven chemical reactions.
