In recent years there has been a growing interest in the interactions of fluorophores with
metallic nanostructures or nanoparticles. The spectra properties of fluorophores can be …

Gold nanochains were prepared by the assembly of citrate-stabilized gold nanospheres
induced by cationic conjugated polymers. This assembly method was rapid, and the …

This study involves two aspects of our investigations of plasmonics-active systems:(i)
theoretical and simulation studies and (ii) experimental fabrication of plasmonics-active …

Adhesion layers, required to stabilize metallic nanostructures, dramatically deteriorate the
performances of plasmonic sensors, by severely dam** the plasmon modes. In this article …

A review report on nanoimprinted plasmonic components is given. The fabrication of
different metal–dielectric geometries and nanostructured surfaces that support either …
