| Abstract Scope |
Through the merger of nanotechnology and optics, this has led to a remarkable fundamental insight into the interaction between light and matter at the nanoscale. The prospect of controlling the properties of light with nanometer-scale precision by coupling an electromagnetic field to the oscillation of free electrons in metals has driven the field of plasmonics in the past two decades. Metallic nanoparticles have been receiving extensive attention owing to their extremely attractive plasmonic properties. They have proven to be highly effective building blocks for plasmonic sensing devices and can provide large near-field enhancements. These nanostructures’ extreme level of sensitivity arises from the localized surface plasmon resonances associated with the nanogap. Through the combination of computational and experimental modeling of optical properties of assemblies of the plasmonic nanoparticles and surface enhanced spectroscopy this can lead to the development of promising devices for various applications ranging from medicine to sensing technology. |
