Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling the optical response of gold nanoparticles
Viktor Myroshnychenko,Jessica Rodríguez-Fernández,Isabel Pastoriza-Santos,Alison M. Funston,Carolina Novo,Paul Mulvaney,Luis M. Liz-Marzán,F. Javier García de Abajo +7 more
TL;DR: This tutorial review presents an overview of theoretical methods for predicting and understanding the optical response of gold nanoparticles, and a critical comparison is provided, assisting the reader in making a rational choice for each particular problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gold nanoparticles: past, present, and future.
TL;DR: This perspective reviews recent developments in the synthesis, electrochemistry, and optical properties of gold nanoparticles, with emphasis on papers initiating the developments and with an eye to their consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmon coupling of gold nanorods at short distances and in different geometries.
TL;DR: The experimentally determined scattering spectra of discrete, crystalline, gold nanorod dimers arranged side-to-side, end- to-end, at right angles in different orientations and also with longitudinal offsets are reported along with the electron micrographs of the individual dimers, consistent with the plasmon hybridization model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dark-field microscopy studies of single metal nanoparticles: understanding the factors that influence the linewidth of the localized surface plasmon resonance
Min Hu,Carolina Novo,Alison M. Funston,Haining Wang,Hristina Staleva,Shengli Zou,Paul Mulvaney,Younan Xia,Gregory V. Hartland +8 more
TL;DR: The goal of this work is to understand how the linewidth of the localized surface plasmon resonance depends on the size, shape, and environment of the nanoparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct observation of chemical reactions on single gold nanocrystals using surface plasmon spectroscopy.
TL;DR: Using surface plasmon spectroscopy, this work directly observed the kinetics of atomic deposition onto a single gold nanocrystal and also monitored electron injection and extraction during a redox reaction involving the oxidation of ascorbic acid on a gold Nanocrystal surface, creating the first direct measurement of the rates of redox catalysis on single nanocrystals.
