The pseudo-two-dimensional (2D) morphology of plate-like metal nanoparticles makes them
one of the most anisotropic, mechanistically understood, and tunable structures available …

In the last two decades, plasmon resonance in gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) has been the
subject of intense research efforts. Plasmon physics is intriguing and its precise modelling …

Progress in electron-beam spectroscopies has recently enabled the study of optical

This chapter reviews recent research on the use of the most common anisotropic gold and
silver nanoparticles (NPs) morphologies toward Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy …

The present status and development of strong-field nano-optics, an emerging field of
nonlinear optics, is discussed. A nonperturbative regime of light-matter interactions is …

MXenes have recently shown impressive optical and plasmonic properties associated with
their ultrathin‐atomic‐layer structure. However, their potential use in photonic and plasmonic …

2D Ti3C2 T x MXenes were recently shown to exhibit intense surface plasmon (SP)
excitations; however, their spatial variation over individual Ti3C2 T x flakes remains …

Free electron beams such as those employed in electron microscopes have evolved into
powerful tools to investigate photonic nanostructures with an unrivaled combination of …

The physical properties of metals change when their dimensions are reduced to the nano-
scale and new phenomena such as the localized surface-plasmon resonance (LSPR) …

When impinging on optical structures or passing in their vicinity, free electrons can
spontaneously emit electromagnetic radiation, a phenomenon generally known as …
