The combination of graphene with noble-metal nanostructures is currently being explored
for strong light–graphene interactions enhanced by plasmons. We introduce a novel hybrid …

Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) is a well-known tool in multiphoton
imaging and nonlinear spectroscopy. In this work we combine CARS with plasmonic surface …

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with deep-UV excitation is of particular interest
because a large variety of biomolecules such as amino acids exhibit electronic transitions in …

Placing metallic nanoparticles inside cavities, rather than in dimers, greatly improves their
plasmonic response. Such particle-in-cavity (PIC) hybrid architectures are shown to produce …

Porous silicon (PS) is a promising material for nanostructure fabrication providing a precise
control over its size, shape, and spatial distribution. This makes it an excellent candidate for …

The assembly of colloidal building-blocks is an efficient, inexpensive and flexible approach
for the fabrication of a wide variety of photonic materials with designed shapes and large …

It has recently been shown that solid-state nanometer-scale pores ('nanopores') can be used
as highly sensitive single-molecule sensors. For example, electrophoretic translocation of …

In this paper, large-area magnetic–plasmonic Ni@ Au core–shell nanoparticle arrays
(NPAs) with tunable compositions were successfully fabricated by a direct laser interference …
