Gold nanorods have received much attention due to their unique optical and electronic
properties which are dependent on their shape, size, and aspect ratio. This article covers in …

Since the first report on the far-field optical detection of single metal nanoparticles in the late
1990s, the field has rapidly developed and new methods and concepts have been …

We report a novel approach for fabricating gold nanostar-functionalized substrates for highly
sensitive surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based chemical sensing. Gold …

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 …

Self-assembly of Au nanoparticles (NPs) coated with positively charged
cetyltrimethylammonium ions (CTA+) and negatively charged citrate ions in aqueous liquid …

The manipulation of the chirality and corresponding optical activity in the visible–near-
infrared (NIR) light region is significant to realize applications in the fields of chemical …

Coupling effects of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) represent an efficient
means to tune the plasmonic modes and to enhance the near-field. While LSPR coupling in …

In the last few decades, two-dimensional monolayer films of gold nanoparticles (2D MFGS)
have attracted increasing attention in various fields, due to their superior attributes of …

Ligand exchange on gold nanorods (NRs) is still too often dismissed or not given the
importance it should deserve. The many applications of gold NRs, mainly in plasmonics …

Various gold nanoparticles have been explored as cancer therapeutics because they can be
widely engineered for use as efficient drug carriers and diagnostic agents, and in photo …
