Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noble metal nanoparticles have attracted enormous scientific and technological interest because of their unique optical properties, which are related to surface plasmon resonances. The interest in nanosized metal particles dates back to ancient societies, when metals were used in various forms as decorative elements. From the famous Lycurgus cup, made by the Romans in the 4th century AD, through thousands of stained glasses in churches and cathedrals all over medieval Europe, bright-yellow, green, or red colors have been obtained by a touch of metallic additions during glass blowing. This peculiar interaction of light with nanometals can be widely tuned through the morphology and assembly of nanoparticles, thereby expanding the range of potential applications, from energy and information storage to biomedicine, including novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods. This book compiles recent developments that clearly illustrate the state of the art in this cutting-edge research field. It comprises different review articles written by the teams of Prof. Luis Liz-Marzán, an international leader in chemical nanotechnology who has made seminal contributions to the use of colloid chemistry methods to understand and tailor the growth of metal particles at the nanoscale. Apart from synthesis, the book also describes in detail the plasmonic properties of nanomaterials and illustrates some representative applications. This book will appeal to anyone involved in nanotechnology, nanocrystal growth, nanoplasmonics, and surface-enhanced spectroscopies.

Download or read book Plasmons in Assembled Metal Nanostructures written by Prashant K. Jain and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noble metal nanostructures possess unique properties including large near-field enhancement and strong light scattering and absorption due to their plasmon resonance - the collective coherent oscillation of the metal free electrons in resonance with the electromagnetic field of light. The effect of nanostructure size, shape, composition, and environment on the plasmon resonance frequency and plasmonic enhancement is well known. In this thesis, we describe the effect of inter-particle coupling in assembled plasmonic nanostructures on their radiative and non-radiative properties. When metal nanoparticles assemble, plasmon oscillations of neighboring particles couple, resulting in a shift in the plasmon resonance frequency. Our investigation of plasmon coupling in gold nanorods shows that the coupling between the plasmons is "bonding" in nature when the plasmon oscillations are polarized along the inter-particle axis, whereas an "anti-bonding" interaction results when the polarization is perpendicular. We studied the distance-dependence of plasmon coupling using electrodynamic simulations and experimental plasmon resonances of lithographically fabricated gold nanoparticle pairs with systematically varying inter-particle separations. The strength of plasmon bonding, reflected by the fractional plasmon shift, decays near-exponentially with the inter-particle separation (in units of particle size) according to a universal trend independent of the nanoparticle size, shape, metal type, or medium. From the universal scaling model, we obtain a "plasmon ruler equation" which calculates (in good agreement with the experiments of Alivisatos and Liphardt) the inter-particle separation in a gold nanosphere pair from its plasmon resonance shift, making it applicable to the determination of inter-site distances in biological systems. Universal size-scaling is valid also in the metal nanoshell structure, a nanosphere trimer, and pairs of elongated nanoparticles, thus making it a generalized fundamental model, which is useful in optimizing plasmon coupling for achieving tunable plasmon resonances, enhanced plasmonic sensitivities, and large SERS cross-sections. Ultrafast laser pump-probe studies of non-radiative electronic relaxation in coupled metal nanospheres in aggregates and in gold nanospheres conjugated to thiol SAMs are also reported. We also show that the relative contribution of scattering (radiative) to absorption (non-radiative) part of the plasmon relaxation, respectively useful in optical and photothermal applications, can be increased by increasing the nanostructure size.
