Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) comprises several surface-sensitive techniques that
enable the trace and ultra-trace detection of various analytes through affinity pairing …

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. In the last few decades, cancer
treatment has come a long way, but multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer still has low …

The piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity of third-generation semiconductor materials (such as
ZnO, GaN, and CdS) distinguish them from traditional semiconductors and give rise to two …

Plasmonic materials have aroused considerable interest in diagnostic and therapeutic
biomedical applications because of their remarkable optical properties and the integration of …

Plasmonic nanomaterials could improve various optical performance including fluorescence
emission, Raman scattering, infrared absorption, etc. Among them, plasmon-enhanced …

Background: Currently, the prognosis and survival rate for patients bearing non-small cell
lung cancer (NSCLC) is still quite poor, mainly due to lack of efficient theranostic paradigms …

Background Based on the established role of cancer-stroma cross-talk in tumor growth,
progression and chemoresistance, targeting interactions between tumor cells and their …

Taking advantage of its adhesive nature and chemical reactivity, polydopamine (PDA) has
recently been integrated with plasmonic nanoparticles to yield unprecedented hybrid …

This paper presents a photothermal spectroscopy technique that effectively images
convective heat flow in molecular liquids resulting from localized laser-induced heating. The …

We investigate the influence of the surface quantum effect on the optical characteristics of a
plasmonic dimer consisting of two identical gold nanoparticles with a tiny gap. To account for …
