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 …

Plasmon-assisted chemistry is the result of a complex interplay between electromagnetic
near fields, heat and charge transfer on the nanoscale. The disentanglement of their roles is …

Plasmon-coupled circular dichroism has emerged as a promising approach for ultrasensitive
detection of biomolecular conformations through coupling between molecular chirality and …

At some levels, single-entity electrochemistry (SEE) is enigmatic. First defined at a Royal
Society of Chemistry Faraday Discussion in 2016, 1− 5 SEE encompasses a broad range of …

This review describes the growing partnership between super-resolution imaging and
plasmonics, by describing the various ways in which the two topics mutually benefit one …

Nanomaterials exhibit structural and functional heterogeneity among individual
nanoparticles, thus requiring a capability to study single nanoparticles. While electron …

Scattering of light by plasmonic nanoparticles is classically described using bulk material
properties with infinitesimally thin boundaries. However, because of the quantum nature of …

Control of interparticle interactions in terms of their direction and strength highly relies on the
use of anisotropic ligand grafting on nanoparticle (NP) building blocks. We report a ligand …

The redox properties of metallic nanoparticles are discussed, in particular the relationships
between excess charge, size and the Fermi level of the electrons. The redox potentials are …

The optical properties of metallic nanoparticles are highly sensitive to interparticle distance,
giving rise to dramatic but frequently irreversible color changes. By electrochemical …
