Abstract

Infrared chiral plasmonic metamaterials based on perpendicularly positioned nanorods enable surface-enhanced vibrational circular dichroism for more selective and sensitive identification of protein fingerprints and enantioselective sensing, which creates a new pathway for chemical or biomedical applications.
