Journal ArticleDOI
Spatially, Temporally, and Quantitatively Controlled Delivery of Broad Range of Molecules into Selected Cells through Plasmonic Nanotubes.
Gabriele Messina,Michele Dipalo,Rosanna La Rocca,Pierfrancesco Zilio,Valeria Caprettini,Remo Proietti Zaccaria,Andrea Toma,Francesco Tantussi,Luca Berdondini,Francesco De Angelis +9 more
TL;DR: A Universal plasmonic/microfluidic platform for spatial and temporal controlled intracellular delivery is described and can inject/transfect the desired amount of molecules with an efficacy close to 100%.
Journal ArticleDOI
3D plasmonic nanoantennas integrated with MEA biosensors
Michele Dipalo,Gabriele Messina,Hayder Amin,Rosanna La Rocca,Victoria Shalabaeva,Alessandro Simi,Alessandro Maccione,Pierfrancesco Zilio,Luca Berdondini,Francesco De Angelis +9 more
TL;DR: Three-dimensional plasmonic nanoantennas are integrated with multielectrode arrays (MEA) and highlight that these nanostructures could be potential candidates for combining electrophysiological measures of large networks with simultaneous spectroscopic investigations at the molecular level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hot electrons in water: injection and ponderomotive acceleration by means of plasmonic nanoelectrodes.
TL;DR: An understanding of the complex physics involved is obtained via a numerical approach that explicitly models the electromagnetic hot spot generation, electron-by-electron injection via multiphoton absorption, acceleration by ponderomotive forces and electron-water interaction through random elastic and inelastic scattering.
Journal ArticleDOI
3D vertical nanostructures for enhanced infrared plasmonics.
Mario Malerba,Alessandro Alabastri,Ermanno Miele,Pierfrancesco Zilio,Maddalena Patrini,Daniele Bajoni,Gabriele Messina,Michele Dipalo,Andrea Toma,Remo Proietti Zaccaria,Francesco De Angelis +10 more
TL;DR: By arranging the nanostructures in periodic arrays, 3D architectures can provide a much stronger plasmonic response, compared to that achievable with the use of 2D configurations, leading to higher energy harvesting properties and improved Q-factors, with bright perspective up to the terahertz range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beaming of Helical Light from Plasmonic Vortices via Adiabatically Tapered Nanotip.
Denis Garoli,Denis Garoli,Pierfrancesco Zilio,Pierfrancesco Zilio,Yuri Gorodetski,Yuri Gorodetski,Francesco Tantussi,Francesco Tantussi,Francesco De Angelis,Francesco De Angelis +9 more
TL;DR: The proposed physical model, backed up by the numerical study, brings about an optimized structure that is fabricated by using a highly reproducible secondary electron lithography technique that excellently agree with the theoretically predicted far-field distributions.
