Anti-reflective surfaces are of great interest for optical devices, sensing, photovoltaics, and photocatalysis. However, most of the anti-reflective surfaces lack in situ tunability of the extinction with respect to wavelength. This communication demonstrates a tunable anti-reflective surface based on colloidal particles comprising a metal core...

We investigated the temperature-dependent optical response of ordered lattices of noninteracting gold-core/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-shell nanoparticles (NPs), a system with proven photothermal and sensing capabilities. For the first time on this system, we exploited in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) to determine the complex,...
