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 …

Single-molecule detection has long relied on fluorescent labeling with high quantum-yield
fluorophores. Plasmon-enhanced detection circumvents the need for labeling by allowing …

This review contributes towards a systematic understanding of the mechanism of shape-
dependent effects on nanoparticles (NPs) for elaborating and predicting their properties and …

Monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have attracted a lot of research
attention recently, motivated by their remarkable optical properties and potential for strong …

Enhanced carbon capture and oxygen production via water splitting was observed by
controlling the plasmon-induced resonance energy transfer (PIRET) for photosystem II (PSII) …

Photocatalysis is a cost-effective approach to producing renewable energy. A thorough
comprehension of carrier separation at the micronano level is crucial for enhancing the …

Plasmon-induced hot carrier generation has attracted much recent attention due to its
