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 …

In his 1665 treatise, Micrographia, Robert Hooke described the many observations he had
made using a microscope, including compartment-like structures in cork samples that he …

We study the luminescence quantum yield (QY) of single gold nanorods with different aspect
ratios and volumes. Compared to gold nanospheres, we observe an increase of QY by …

Due to their tunable surface plasmon and photothermal effects, gold nanorods (AuNRs)
have proved to be promising in a wide range of biomedical applications such as imaging …

Orientation of nanoscale objects can be measured by examining the polarized emission of
optical probes. To retrieve a three-dimensional (3D) orientation, it has been essential to …

Fluorescent gold nanoparticles with high quantum yield are highly desirable for optical
imaging in the fields of biology and materials science. We investigate the one-photon …

Aggregated metal nanoparticles have been known to display significantly enhanced two-
photon photoluminescence (TPPL) compared to nonaggregated nanoparticles, which could …

We report an automated single particle tracking technique for tracking the x, y, z coordinates,
azimuthal and elevation angles of anisotropic plasmonic gold nanorod probes in live cells …

Plasmonic nanoparticles with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and scattering response
dependent on their geometry and surrounding environment are predestinated to be used as …

Graphene shows great promise as a transparent conductive electrode for optoelectronic
applications. However, residues generated during the graphene transfer process lead to the …
