The control of luminous radiation has extremely important implications for modern and future
technologies as well as in medicine. In this Review, we detail chemical structures and their …

This review describes the fundamental aspects of laser–gold nanoparticle (Au NP)
interaction that leads to nanoscale energy deposition to the surroundings through light …

Integration of “green chemistry” principles into nanotechnology is one of the key issues in
nanoscience research today. In this work, we report an environmentally benign method for …

Predicting the electronic structure of extended organic molecules constitutes an important
fundamental task of modern chemistry. Studies of electronic excitations, charge-transfer …

Coherently coupled plasmons and excitons give rise to new optical excitations-plexcitons−
due to the strong coupling of these two oscillator systems. Time-resolved studies of J …

This review presents an overview of 1→ 2 branched dendrimers and dendrons, created by a
divergent procedure, from their synthesis to modern day applications. The first members of …

The optical nonlinear absorption of the aqueous solution of platinum nanospheres protected
by poly (N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) was investigated using open aperture Z-scan method with …

A simple and efficient protocol is developed for the in situ generation of highly monodisperse
and small (2− 3 nm) silver nanoparticles in poly (vinyl alcohol) film and the fabrication of …

We report a one-step route for the synthesis of Au@ TiO2, Au@ ZrO2, Ag@ TiO2, and Ag@
ZrO2 particles in nanometer dimensions, with controllable shell thickness. This scalable …

This paper reviews the recent development of inorganic and hybrid nanomaterials for optical
limiting applications. The synthesis, testing method, optical limiting property and mechanism …
