Surface plasmons (SPs) are coherent oscillations of conduction electrons on a metal surface
excited by electromagnetic radiation at a metal-dielectric interface. The growing field of …

Fast and sensitive virus detection techniques, which can be rapidly deployed at multiple
sites, are essential to prevent and control future epidemics and bioterrorism threats. In this …

We developed a class of quasi-3D plasmonic crystal that consists of multilayered, regular
arrays of subwavelength metal nanostructures. The complex, highly sensitive structure of the …

The low but known risk of bacterial contamination has emerged as the greatest residual
threat of transfusion-transmitted diseases. Label-free detection of a bacterial model …

Extensive studies revealed the role of blood lipid microparticles (liposomes, microvesicles)
in activation of coagulation cascade. The direct interaction of fibrinogen/fibrin with lipid …

The use of instrumental systems based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for rapid
diagnosis of intact plant viruses (in particular, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)) is considered. A …

Application of the evanescent wave phenomena (eg surface plasmon resonance) in the
chemical and biochemical sensors provides both optimal conditions for registration of …

The irreversible adsorption of proteins on artificial surfaces plays an important role in a wide
variety of practical problems. The simple analytical models based on definite concepts …

On the basis of an analysis of current views about plasmonics a conceptual examination of
propagating surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in relation to the basic mechanisms and …

Modern bio-chemical sensors rely on functional interfacial architectures with well-defined
structural nano-motifs over a physical transducer. Gold-coated interfaces are of particular …
