- This novel work developed a process to synthesize pillared nanostructures of sizes less than 20 nm, where the pillar trunk is made up of insulator type materials and the cap of the pillar is made up of metals. Prior to the publication such architectures of nanostructures, were theoretically (via simulations) known to show high refractive-index sensitivity due to the presence of LSPR. However, this significant work realised such structures on a large surface-area such as a standard glass slide thereby extending the potential of LSPR sensing down to concentration of zepto molar detection of biomolecules with potential high-sensitivity biosensing applications.
