R&D Progress | Major Breakthrough! Atomic Precision Preparation of Single Crystal Gold Plates with Nanoscale Thickness April 2, 2024

Our team has pioneered an atomic level precision chemical etching method for the preparation of large-sized two-dimensional single crystal gold films, achieving the preparation of large-sized (>100 μ m) single crystal gold flakes with thicknesses as low as the single nanometer level. These flakes have atomic level flat surfaces and can be flexibly transferred and integrated. On this basis, the optical nonlinear effect of quantum confinement enhancement in two-dimensional single crystal gold flakes was revealed, and an ultra-thin plasmonic nanostructure with loss approaching the theoretical limit was achieved by combining nano patterning technology. Nanoscale thickness two-dimensional single crystal gold flakes not only provide an excellent platform for extreme nanophotonics research, but also have important application prospects in fields such as physics, electronics, mechanics, and chemistry. The related achievements were published in the journal Nature Communications under the title "Large area single crystal gold of single nanometer thickness for nanophotonics" and were selected as a featured article.
