Abstract

Plasmon coupling architectures with specific spatial and orientational arrangement configurations possess unique and tailored plasmonic properties and hold promise for advancements in nano-optics, nanoantennas, and biosensors. Numerous research has focused on the construction of plasmonic assemblies with predetermined configurations. DNA nanostructures with arbitrary geometry, high compatibility with metal nanoparticles, and spatial addressability meet the requirement for precise spatial and orientation arrangement. Currently, DNA nanostructures are widely exploited as structural materials to generate plasmonic structures with well-defined topologies. We review the evolution of DNA nanostructure-guided plasmon coupling architectures, including the introduction of DNA nanostructures, DNA modification on the surface of plasmonic nanoparticles, and three strategies for constructing complex plasmonic nanostructures. Then we focus on the emerging applications of DNA nanostructure-guided architectures with engineered local electromagnetic enhancement for modulating plasmon coupling, amplifying emitter signals, and serving as biosensors. Finally, we will critically discuss the challenges and opportunities in this field.
