Theoretical design of new class of optical materials based on small noble metal nanocluster-biomolecule hybrids and its potential for medical applications

The unique linear and non-linear optical (NLO) properties of small noble metal nanoclusters in hybrid systems formed with peptides will be overviewed. Focus is on two aspects based on theoretical concepts. First, enhancement of absorption of biomolecules by small silver clusters in non-scalable regi...
