A biosensor device is defined by its biological, or bioinspired receptor unit with unique
specificities toward corresponding analytes. These analytes are often of biological origin like …

The vivid optical properties of noble metal nanoparticles have been an object of fascination
since ancient times. The ruby red of stained glass windows arises from gold nanoparticles …

The interaction of exciton-plasmon coupling and the conversion of exciton-plasmon-photon
have been widely investigated experimentally and theoretically. In this review, we introduce …

Nanowires supporting propagating surface plasmons can function as nanowaveguides to
realize the light guiding with field confinement beyond the diffraction limit, providing …

The plasmon resonances and other optical properties of elemental noble and alkali metal
nanoparticles have generated enormous scientific interest. 1r11 There are numerous …

Metallic nanostructures now play an important role in many applications. In particular, for the
emerging fields of plasmonics and nanophotonics, the ability to engineer metals on …

Our calculations show that a nonchiral nanocrystal is able to dramatically change the
circular dichroism (CD) of a chiral molecule when the nanocrystal and molecule form a …

We describe from the theoretical point of view a plasmonic mechanism of optical activity in
chiral complexes composed of metal nanoparticles (NPs). In our model, the circular …

Chiral surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can be generated by linearly polarized light
incident at the end of a nanowire, exciting a coherent superposition of three specific …

The extraordinary optical properties of surface plasmons in metal nanostructures provide the
possibilities to enhance and accelerate the spontaneous emission, and manipulate the …
