Surface plasmons (SPs) are coherent oscillations of conduction electrons on a metal surface
excited by electromagnetic radiation at a metal-dielectric interface. The growing field of …

In this review, advancement in cancer therapy that shows a transition from conventional
thermal therapies to laser-based photothermal therapies is discussed. Laser-based …

Excitation of localized and delocalized surface plasmon resonances can be used for turning
excellent reflectors of visible light, such as gold and silver, into efficient absorbers, whose …

Three possible reasons are proposed as the cause the enhanced responsivities of the
detectors with Ag nanoparticles: i) the depletion width at the metal-semiconductor interface …

In this article we show that linear nanoantennas can be used as shared substrates for
surface-enhanced Raman and infrared spectroscopy (SERS and SEIRS, respectively). This …

Herein, we introduce a novel integrated system that merges an enantio-discriminative bio-
MOF-packed centrifugal microfluidic chip made from PDMS with a user-friendly on-site …

Strong electromagnetic field enhancement that occurs under conditions of the surface
plasmon excitation in metallic nanoparticles deposited on a semiconductor surface is a very …

Gold nanoparticles (GNP) are very suitable agents for thermal destruction of cancer cells
because of their photothermal heating ability. In this work, photothermal properties of …

This paper explores geometry-sensitive scattering from plasmonic nanoparticles deposited
on top of a thin-film amorphous silicon solar cell to enhance light trap** in the photo-active …

Nanostructured metal films and particles have been recently exploited as substrates for
surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) studies because their intrinsic properties …
