A method of manufacturing a chiral nano-structure having chirality using a magnetic field according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a magnetic field forming operation that forms a magnetic field; a particle arranging operation that arranges at least two nanoparticles in the magnetic field; and a magnetic field adjusting operation that adjusts at least one of a magnetic flux density, a magnetization direction, and a spatial range of the magnetic field, in which in the magnetic field adjusting operation, the arrangement of the nanoparticles arranged in the magnetic field is aligned to correspond to a structure of the magnetic field, and the entire structure is formed as a nano-structure having chirality.

As a magnetoplasmonic particle that can have physical reactability, that is, arrangement variability to a magnetic field to implement an immediate self-assembly property, can be manufactured as a three-dimensional structure through a significantly simplified process compared to the conventional one based on this arrangement variability due to the application of the magnetic field, can be used in various technical fields because an additional change or adjustment of a geometrical of this three-dimensional structure is easy, there is provided the magnetoplasmonic particle including a core-shell particle including a core and a shell surrounding at least a part of a surface of the core and including a component different from a component of the core, and having the arrangement variability due to the application of the magnetic field.

Accelerating photonic and opto-electronic technologies requires breaking current limits of modern chip-scale photonic devices. While electronics and computer technologies have benefited from “Moore's Law” scaling, photonic technologies are conventionally limited in scale by the wavelength of light. Recent sub-wavelength optical devices use nanostructures and plasmonic devices but still face fundamental performance limitations arising from metal-induced optical losses and resonance-induced narrow optical bandwidths. The present disclosure instead confines and guides light at deeply sub-wavelength dimensions while preserving low-loss and broadband operation. The wave nature of light is used while employing metal-free (all-dielectric) nanostructure geometries which effectively “pinch” light into ultra-small active volumes, for potentially about 100-1000× reduction in energy consumption of active photonic components such as phase-shifters. The present disclosure could make possible all-optical and quantum computing devices which require extreme optical confinement to achieve efficient light-matter interactions.

A method for obtaining semiconducting carbon nanotubes is provided. An insulating substrate comprising hollow portions and non-hollow portions is provided. A plurality of electrodes is formed on a surface of the non-hollow portions. A plurality of carbon nanotubes is formed on a surface of the insulating substrate, and the carbon nanotubes stretches across the hollow portions. The insulating substrate, the plurality of electrodes, and the carbon nanotubes are placed into a cavity, and the cavity is evacuated. A voltage is applied between any two electrodes, and photos of carbon nanotubes suspended between the two electrodes are taken. In the photo, darker ones are the semiconducting carbon nanotubes, and brighter ones are metallic carbon nanotubes. Finally, the metallic carbon nanotubes are removed.
