Hybrid plasmonic devices involve a nanostructured metal supporting localized surface
plasmons to amplify light–matter interaction, and a non‐plasmonic material to functionalize …

Chirality, either of light or matter, has proved to be very practical in biosensing and
nanophotonics. However, the fundamental understanding of its temporal dynamics still …

Laser excitation of nanoparticles provides an appealing tool for particle engineering as well
as nanoscale-localized photothermal material modification. In the case of plasmonic …

Localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) are fascinating optical phenomena
occurring in metal nanostructures, like gold nanoparticles (NPs). Plasmonic excitation can …

High-energy electrons and holes generated upon photoexcitation of plasmonic
nanostructures are particularly attractive, as their excess energy can be potentially exploited …

Thermal scanning-probe lithography (t-SPL) is a high-resolution nanolithography technique
