Abstract

Gallium and gallium-rich alloys are metals in the liquid phase near room temperature and possess unique and appealing properties for a wide range of applications including photonics. However, microscopic liquid metal structures cannot be fabricated using the conventional techniques developed for solid metal structures. Although several techniques have been developed to pattern liquid metal structures with resolutions down to few micrometers, realizing liquid metal nanostructures with precisely controlled shapes, sizes and locations remains a challenging task. In this talk, we will discuss our recently developed selective-wetting-based technique for realizing liquid metal nanophotonic structures which can be reconfigured via different mechanisms.
