The localized surface plasmon resonance of metal nanoparticles is the collective oscillation
of electrons on particle surface, induced by incident light, and is a particle composition-,
morphology-, and coupling-dependent property. Plasmonic engineering deals with highly
precise formation of the targeted nanostructures with targeted plasmonic properties (eg,
electromagnetic field distribution and enhancement) via controlled synthetic, assembling,
and atomic/molecular tuning strategies. These plasmonically engineered nanoprobes …
