description

Since the plasmon resonance of nanoparticles depends on the refractive index of the immediate environment, these particles form the basis of many sensing schemes . The sensitivity of plasmon sensors for the detection of changes in the environment varies greatly and depends on the particle material and its morphology (size and shape). To further increase this sensitivity by chemical modifications was another goal of my work.
