Abstract:Gold nanoparticles are intriguing because of their unique size-and shape-dependent chemical, electronic and optical properties. Various microscopy and biomedical applications are based on the particles' biocompatibility, surface functionalizability, light absorption, and plasmon resonances. Gold nanorods (AuNRs) are particularly promising for various sensor applications due to their tip-enhanced plasmonic elds. For biomolecule attachment, AuNRs are often stabilized with amphiphilic molecules and functionalized… Show more
