A theory of the coupling of evanescent optical fields between metallic nanoparticles is
developed to provide a basis for designing plasmonic systems. The interaction between …

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an enthralling phenomenon that significantly
boosts the Raman signals of molecules near “hot spots”. Its sensitivity primarily relies on the …

In this paper we theoretically consider the physical mechanisms behind the surface‐
enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancement produced by commercially available …

A plasmonic coupling structure composed of Ag nanocap–nanohole pairs was fabricated
through a novel and facile method. Both surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) …

We analyzed numerical optical characteristics of silver nanoprisms with rounded corners
using the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. The enhancement of the …

A quasi-three-dimensional (quasi-3D) system composed of Ag nano-cubes and Ag nano-
hole arrays was fabricated through a low cost chemical process. The coupling of localized …

In this article, a photochromic dye, 3-bromo-2, 2-dimethyl-2H-pyrano [3, 2-c] chromen-5-one
in its closed form (DDPC-CF), was coated with four different shapes of silver nanoparticles …

In this article, Ag rods with four different aspect ratios were synthesized at 4, 16, 24, and 32°
C (denoted as Ag4, Ag16, Ag24, and Ag32, respectively) in a sol–gel matrix and coated with …

Hybrid plasmonic nanoprisms in the form of gold (Au)-dielectric-silver (Ag) sandwich
structures have been designed and simulated using Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) …

A novel plasmonic Raman sensor using periodic nano-hole and, potentially, nanofocusing
arrays is investigated numerically and experimentally. The effect of structural parameters …
