Building plasmonic nanostructures with DNA.
Plasmonic structures can be constructed from precise numbers of well-defined metal nanoparticles that are held together with molecular linkers, templates or spacers. Such structures could be used to concentrate, guide and switch light on the nanoscale in sensors and various other devices. DNA was first used to rationally design plasmonic structures in 1996, and more sophisticated motifs have si...
متن کاملPlasmonic excitations in tight-binding nanostructures
We explore the collective electromagnetic response in atomic clusters of various sizes and geometries. Our aim is to understand, and hence to control, their dielectric response based on a fully quantum-mechanical description which captures accurately their relevant collective modes. The electronic energy levels and wave functions, calculated within the tight-binding model, are used to determine...
متن کاملPlasmonic nanostructures through DNA-assisted lithography
Programmable self-assembly of nucleic acids enables the fabrication of custom, precise objects with nanoscale dimensions. These structures can be further harnessed as templates to build novel materials such as metallic nanostructures, which are widely used and explored because of their unique optical properties and their potency to serve as components of novel metamaterials. However, approaches...
متن کاملPlasmonic Nanostructures and Applications
Gold nanoparticles with unique optical properties may be useful as biosensors in living whole cells. Using a simple and inexpensive technique, we recorded surface plasmon resonance (SPR) scattering images and SPR absorption spectra from both colloidal gold nanoparticles and from gold nanoparticles conjugated to monoclonal anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) antibodies after incuba...
متن کاملGold nanostructures: engineering their plasmonic properties for biomedical applications.
The surface plasmon resonance peaks of gold nanostructures can be tuned from the visible to the near infrared region by controlling the shape and structure (solid vs. hollow). In this tutorial review we highlight this concept by comparing four typical examples: nanospheres, nanorods, nanoshells, and nanocages. A combination of this optical tunability with the inertness of gold makes gold nanost...
