We demonstrate a strong, 5-fold enhancement of the radiative decay rate from highly
efficient fluorescent dye molecules around resonant optical nanoantennas. The plasmonic …

Metal and semiconductor nanoparticles attract much attention due to their astonishing
properties and numerous possibilities for applications in sensors. Significant progress has …

The role of charge transfer (CT) contribution to the surface-enhanced Raman scattering
(SERS) effect from the view of Albrecht's “A” and Herzberg-Teller (HT) contributions is …

Near-field intensity statistics in semicontinuous silver films over a wide range of surface
coverage are investigated using near-field scanning optical microscopy. The variance of …

We study theoretically the light scattering from metal wires of arbitrary cross section, with
emphasis on the occurrence of plasmon resonances. We make use of the rigorous …

Adsorption of dopamine (DA) on a Aucore− Agshell bimetallic nanocolloidal surface has
been investigated using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The normal …

The propagation of surface plasmons along rough metal surfaces is investigated with
transformation optics. The roughness is modeled on a nanometer scale either by partly …

Focusing on control and manipulation of plasmons at nanometer dimensions,
nanoplasmonics combines the strength of electronics and photonics, and is predicted to …

We calculate the quasistatic electromagnetic density of states for aggregates of touching
spheres, in particular, linear chains and computer-generated random fractal aggregates …

A combined experimental and theoretical study on the laser-induced excitation of surface
plasmon polaritons (SPP) at well-defined step edges of a gold–vacuum interface is …
