Nanostructures for plasmon enhanced fluorescence sensing: From photophysics to biomedicine

Metallic nanostructures exhibit unique plasmonic properties when optically excited, which includes modification of the spontaneous emission and lifetime of fluorophores in their vicinity. Here we utilize silica (SiO2) core encapsulated in gold (Au) shell nanoshells for emission enhancement of weak n...
