Giant circular dichroism of large-area extrinsic chiral metal nanocrecents

Abstract In this work, we demonstrate the strong extrinsic chirality of the larger-area metal nanocrescents by experiments and simulations. Our results show that the metal nanocrescent exhibits giant and tunable circular dichroism (CD) effect, which is intensively dependent on the incident angle of...
