摘 要:Chiral surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs)produced by plasmonic nanowires can be used to enhance molecular spectroscopy for biosensing ***,the switchable stereoselectivity and detection of various analytes are limited by a lack of switchable,chiral *** both finite-element method simulations and analytic calculations,we present a graphene-coated chalcogenide(GCC)nanowire that produces mid-infrared,chiral *** chiral SPPs can be reversibly switched between“on(transparent)and“off(opaque)by non-volatile structural state transitions in the dielectric constants of the chalcogenide glass ***,by controlling the Fermi energy of the graphene-coating layer,the nanowire can output either non-chiral or chiral SPPs.A thermal-electric model was built to illustrate the possibility of ultrafast on/off switching of the SPPs at the terminus of the ***,we show that a selective,lateral sorting of sub-10-nm enantiomers can be achieved via the GCC *** nanoparticles with opposite handedness experience transverse forces that differ in both their sign and *** design may pave the way for plasmonic nanowire networks and tunable nanophotonic devices,which require the ultrafast switching of SPPs,and provide a possible approach for a compact,enantiopure synthesis.
