Fabrication, modification and self-assembly of metallic nano-particles for localized surface plasmon resonance and surface enhanced vibrational spectroscopy applications

Metallic nanoparticles (MNPs), especially those made of gold, silver, and copper, are of great importance in many scientific disciplines. The free electrons inside the MNPs can respond collectively to applied electromagnetic fields. This is called the excitation of localized surface plasmon resonanc...
