Engineering of plasmon-resonant nanostructures for biomedical applications
要約
Interest in metal nanostructures stems from their unique optical properties related with single-particle or collective plasmons. This report is focused on optical properties of gold nanorods and silica/gold nanoshells, whereas the synthesis protocols and biomedical applications are discussed shortly. Our consideration includes the following topics: (1) depolarized light scattering by gold nanorods; (2) sensitivity of longitudinal dipole plasmon to dielectric environment; (3) scaling properties of nanorod multipole plasmons; (4) engineering of silica/gold nanoshells for tunable optical properties; (5) collective plasmons in self-assembled nanoshell monolayers; (6) applications of plasmon-resonant particles to solid-phase immunoassay, photothermal therapy, and OCT.
