Momentum Distribution of Electrons Emitted from Resonantly Excited Individual Gold Nanorods.
2017
Electron emission by femtosecond laser pulses from individual Au nanorods is studied with a time-of-flight momentum resolving photoemission electron microscope (ToF k-PEEM). The Au nanorods adhere to a transparent indium–tin oxide substrate, allowing for illumination from the rear side at normal incidence. Localized plasmon polaritons are resonantly excited at 800 nm with 100 fs long pulses. The momentum distribution of emitted electrons reveals two distinct emission mechanisms: a coherent multiphoton photoemission process from the optically heated electron gas leads to an isotropic emission distribution. In contrast, an additional emission process resulting from the optical field enhanceme…
Investigation of electron transfer between single plasmon and graphene by dark field spectroscopy
2020
Abstract We investigated the electron transfer time between single plasmonic gold nanoparticles and graphene with our home-build spectral imaging dark-field microscope. The process of electron transfer is supposed to be shuttling of hot electrons on the nanoparticle-graphene interface, resulting in a slight broadening of the scattering spectrum. For detecting the minor spectrum broadening, we firstly characterized our setup systematically and then calibrated its intrinsic error. We found the mechanism of a common but normally neglected setup error, scattering spectrum broadening, which is caused by the bandwidth of the incident light and could exist in most fast dark-field microscopy setups…
CTAB Stabilizes Silver on Gold Nanorods

We present a study that allows us to explain the chemical changes behind the often observed but so far ununderstood drift of the plasmon resonance of chemically prepared gold nanorods in microfluid...
Implantable Sensors Based on Gold Nanoparticles for Continuous Long-Term Concentration Monitoring in the Body.
2021
Implantable sensors continuously transmit information on vital values or biomarker concentrations in bodily fluids, enabling physicians to survey disease progression and monitor therapeutic success. However, currently available technologies still face difficulties with long-term operation and transferability to different analytes. We show the potential of a generalizable platform based on gold nanoparticles embedded in a hydrogel for long-term implanted biosensing. Using optical imaging and an intelligent sensor/reference-design, we assess the tissue concentration of kanamycin in anesthetized rats by interrogating our implanted sensor noninvasively through the skin. Combining a tissue-integ…
