摘要: We report the light-induced formation of conductive links across nanometer-wide insulating gaps. These are realized by incorporating spacers molecules or 2D monolayers inside a gold plasmonic nanoparticle-on-mirror (NPoM) geometry. Laser irradiation individual NPoMs controllably reshapes and tunes system, in some cases forming bridges between particle substrate, which shorts gaps geometrically electronically. Dark-field spectroscopy monitors bridge situ, revealing strong mode mixing dominated clear anticrossings. Finite difference time domain simulations confirm this spectral evolution, gives insights into metal filament formation. A simple analytic cavity model describes observed hybridization tightly confined modes radiative antenna sustained NPoM. Our results show how optics can reveal properties electrical transport well...
