Abstract:
PURPOSE: A nanogap device for focusing electric field of electromagnetic wave and a system for detecting nanoparticles are provided to focus electric field from teraherz to far infrared ray area and to detect nanoparticle having a particle size of 10nm or less. CONSTITUTION: A nanogap device(100) for focusing electric field g of an electromagnetic wave comprises: a film(110) consisting of an electrically conductive material; and a nanogap(120) having a width (a) between a skin depth and a Thomas fermi occlusion length which is decided according to an electromagnetic wave(10) and conductive material. The electromagnetic wave has a wavelength of teraherz to far infrared ray range. The conductive is a material metal or carbon nanotube. The metal is a gold. The shape of nanogap is rectangular or slip-shape.
