Knoben, W. (author), Brongersma, S.H. (author), Crego-Calama, M. (author)The refractive index sensitivity of localized surface plasmon resonance sensors can be improved by placing the plasmonic metal particles on pillars instead of on a planar substrate. In this paper, a simple and versatile colloidal lithography method for the fabrication of plasmonic Au islands on top of polymer nanopillars is described. The pillar...article 2011

(author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)A 25 keV focused helium ion beam has been used to grow PtC nanopillars on a silicon substrate by beam-induced decomposition of a (CH<sub>3</sub>) <sub>3</sub>Pt(C<sub>P</sub>CH<sub>3</sub>) precursor gas. The ion beam diameter was about 1 nm. The observed relatively high growth rates suggest that electronic excitation is the dominant mechanism...article 2010
