Key Parameter Controlling the Sensitivity of Plasmonic Metal Nanoparticles: Aspect Ratio

Abstract: Currently the synthesis of plasmonic nanoparticles for sensing applications mostly focuses on their shape because it is believed that nanoparticles with sharp tips provide higher sensitivities than those without. Herein, by measuring and analyzing the sensitivities of more than 74 types of nanoparticles of various shapes, sizes, and compositions, we found that, contrary to this common belief, the correlation between shape and sensitivity is much weaker than that between aspect ratio and sensitivity. Among all … Show more

“…Based on the diameter and thickness measurements, the aspect ratio of the nanoplates ranged from 4.5 to 50. The upper bound of our aspect ratio is among the highest values of all reported methods that use citrate as a capping agent . For example, the aspect ratio of Ag nanoprisms by Charles et al ranged from 2.1 to 13.3.…”

“…Plasmonic nanoparticles are important building‐block nanomaterials that have vast potential in applications including sensing, imaging, catalysis, photovoltaics, memory storage, and microelectronics . Particularly, plasmonic nanoparticles with plasmon resonance in the near‐infrared (NIR) range have been used in cell imaging, photothermal therapy, and optical communication because of their excellent capability of penetrating tissues and other barriers.…”

“…This slight difference can be attributed to the different surrounding mediums since numerical calculations were performed with the assumption of water surrounding the NPs. A similar comparison for Ag nanoprisms has been plotted in Figure B, the wavelength of LSPR as experimentally measured and the numerical model . The comparison reveals the numerical model can predict in a reasonable accuracy the occurrence of LSPR.…”
