They are considered a major scientific breakthrough and have attracted enormous attention over the past decade. The major challenge in obtaining an optical metamaterial active at visible frequencies is the fabrication of complex continuous metallic structures with nanometric features. This thesis presents the fabrication and characterization of optical metamaterials made by block copolymer self-assembly.  This  approach allows fabrication of an intriguing and complex continuous 3D architecture called a gyroid, which is replicated into active plasmonic materials such as gold. The optical properties endowed by this particular gyroid geometry include reduction of plasma frequency, extraordinarily enhanced optical transmission, and a predicted negative refractive index. To date, this is the 3D optical metamaterial with the smallest features ever made. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aNanoscale science 606 $aNanoscience 606 $aNanostructures 606 $aOptical materials 606 $aElectronic materials 606 $aPolymers   606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aEngineering?Materials 606 $aNanoscale Science and Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25140 606 $aOptical and Electronic Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000 606 $aPolymer Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C22008 606 $aNanotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000 606 $aMaterials Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T28000 615 0$aNanoscale science. 615 0$aNanoscience. 615 0$aNanostructures. 615 0$aOptical materials. 615 0$aElectronic materials. 615 0$aPolymers  . 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 0$aEngineering?Materials. 615 14$aNanoscale Science and Technology. 615 24$aOptical and Electronic Materials. 615 24$aPolymer Sciences. 615 24$aNanotechnology. 615 24$aMaterials Engineering. 676 $a621.30284 700 $aSalvatore$b Stefano$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0792331 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300427003321 996 $aOptical Metamaterials by Block Copolymer Self-Assembly$91771655 997 $aUNINA
