The interaction of light with metal nanoparticles leads to novel phenomena mediated by
surface plasmon excitations. In this article we use single molecules to characterize the …

We studied the fluorescence enhancement of a dye-loaded polyphenylene dendrimer in a
gap of 2− 3 nm between a silver film and single silver particles with an average diameter of …

We use home-made Si-supported anodized alumina thin film templates for the
electrodeposition of large area self-standing Ag-and Au-nanorod (Au-NR) arrays. The …

Information display utilizing plasmonic color generation has recently emerged as an
alternative paradigm to traditional printing and display technologies. However, many …

The optical and morphological properties of hollow gold nanoparticles (HGNPs) can be
finely modified by employing poly-l-lysine hydrobromide (PLL), a homopoly amino acid of …

We record nanoscale chemical images of thiobenzonitrile (TBN)-functionalized plasmonic
gold nanocubes via tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). The spatially averaged …

Coherent energy exchange between plasmons and excitons has attracted considerable
interest from researchers worldwide because of their potential applications in enhanced …

Advances in plasmonic nanoparticle synthesis afford new opportunities for biosensing
applications. Here, we apply a combination of a new type of plasmonic nanomaterial …

In this study, we overview resonance energy transfer between molecules in the presence of
plasmonic structures and derive an explicit Förster-type expression for the rate of plasmon …

We examine the effects of aspect ratio (AR) heterogeneity of an assembly of gold nanorods
(GNRs) in a colloid on the total cross-section for its light scattering via localized surface …
