Plasmonic staining of DNA molecules with photo-induced Ag nanoparticles monitored using dark-field microscopy.

چکیده
We demonstrate a dark-field microscopic technique for real-time monitoring of DNA metallization. The growth of silver nanoparticles on DNA molecules was observed using plasmon resonance light scattering in the presence of a weak catalyst triggering photo-reduction of Ag(+). This simple strategy could facilitate the controlled fabrication of DNA-templated nanoelectronic devices.

Plasmonic near-electric field enhancement effects in ultrafast photoelectron emission: correlated spatial and laser polarization microscopy studies of individual Ag nanocubes.
Electron emission from single, supported Ag nanocubes excited with ultrafast laser pulses (λ = 800 nm) is studied via spatial and polarization correlated (i) dark field scattering microscopy (DFM), (ii) scanning photoionization microscopy (SPIM), and (iii) high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Laser-induced electron emission is found to peak for laser polarization aligned wi...

Understanding the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of differently shaped plasmonic nanoparticles benefits screening and designing highly sensitive single nanoparticle sensors. Herein, in the present work, we systematically investigated the shape-dependent scattering light colours and refractive index (RI) sensitivity of Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) at the single nanoparticle level using c...
