Plasmonic photocatalysis uses the light-induced resonant oscillation of free electrons in a
metal nanoparticle to concentrate optical energy for driving chemical reactions. By altering …

Surface ligands play an important role in shape‐controlled growth and stabilization of
colloidal nanocrystals. Their quick removal tends to cause structural deformation and/or …

Owing to their unique and sustainable surface plasmonic properties, Al nanocrystals have
attracted increasing attention for plasmonic-enhanced applications, including single-particle …

Optical applications of plasmonic nanoparticles depend critically on particle properties such
as relative proximity, composition, crystallinity, and shape. The most common nanoparticle …

Aluminum nanocrystals created by catalyst-driven colloidal synthesis support excellent
plasmonic properties, due to their high level of elemental purity, monocrystallinity, and …

The ultimate goal of this work is to create an engineered aerosol that acts as one‐way
smoke, ie it creates an asymmetric vision environment in which the ability to image objects …

Ti precatalysts containing the titanocene moiety (Cp2Ti–, Cp= cyclopentadienyl) can, under
certain conditions, selectively produce cubic Al nanocrystals through the dehydrocoupling of …

To drive the formation of nanoparticles with a targeted morphology, it is often necessary to
accelerate or slow a specific chemical reaction out of the many involved in nanoparticle …

We used straightforward thermal evaporation deposition to form thin Al films on fused silica
slides as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors in the blue visible region. Compared to …

Nanoparticle over mirror (NPoM) cavities have been a source of extreme electromagnetic
field confinement in sub-nm gaps, leading to extraordinary performance for surface …
