The plasmon resonances and other optical properties of elemental noble and alkali metal
nanoparticles have generated enormous scientific interest. 1r11 There are numerous …

Aqueous-dispersed single and binary noble metal nanocrystals have attracted much
attention as key materials in many fields, especially in biomedicine, catalysis, etc. Controlled …

Anisotropic and controllable silver shell formation on gold nanorods was realized in a
micellar solution of hexadecytrimethylammonium chloride. Uniformity of the anisotropic Au …

Illumination of noble metal nanoparticles at the plasmon resonance causes substantial heat
generation, and the transient and highly localized temperature increases that result from this …

When the size and the shape of materials are reduced to the nanoscale dimension, their
physical and chemical properties can change dramatically. This book demonstrates the …

Plasmonic nanostructures have been broadly used for chemical detections, but their
applications are limited by slow detection rates, insufficient visual resolution and sensitivity …

Aldehydes are very common pollutants and many are possible human carcinogens. Herein,
we report an easy-to-operate and low-cost method for discrimination of diverse aldehydes …

A multitude of applications is related to the unique properties of absorption, scattering, and
plasmon-enhanced phenomena of metal nanoparticles (MNPs). The aqueous colloidal …

We performed the first investigations of coherent acoustic phonons in Au–Ag core–shell
nanorods, which were compared with the results of parental Au nanorods. Both breathing …

Spherical gold nanoparticles with cationic surfaces were prepared in
hexadecyltrimethylammonium (CTA+) chloride (CTAC) and CTA+ bromide (CTAB) solutions …
