Plasmonic nanoparticles made of gold and silver have attracted a great deal of research
attention in various fields, such as biosensors, imaging, therapy, nanophotonics, catalysis …

The field of plasmonics is driven by the investigation of the interaction between the
electromagnetic (EM) field (light) and metal nanostructures. In particular, noble metal …

By electrodeposition and galvanic replacement reaction, we developed a facile, time-saving,
cost-effective, and environmentally friendly, two-step synthesis route to obtain a controllable …

Fourier transform nonlinear optics (FT-NLO) is a powerful experimental physical chemistry
tool that provides insightful spectroscopic and imaging data. FT-NLO has revealed key steps …

Electronic relaxation dynamics were studied for a series of gold monolayer-protected
clusters (MPCs) whose sizes ranged from 1.5 to 2.4 nm. Au96 (m MBA) 42, Au102 (p MBA) …

We report the polarization-dependent and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) properties
of gold nanorods (AuNRs). AuNRs corresponding to three different length-to-diameter …

Our group has made several recent advances using single-particle nonlinear optical (NLO)
microscopy techniques to examine nanostructure-specific plasmon-mediated interactions …

To realize efficiently cellular uptake and enhance the immunostimulation, thiolated cytosine-
phosphate-guanine (CpG) oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) were self-assembled on hollow …

Hollow gold nanospheres (HGNs) were excited with ultrashort laser pulses, and the
coherent vibrational response was examined using femtosecond time-resolved transient …

Electronic energy relaxation in hollow gold nanospheres (HGNs) was studied using
femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy. A range of HGNs having …
