“…For a MNP of small or medium size compared to a molecular chain or molecular cluster strong and localized excitation of that part of the molecular system may take place which is in close proximity to the MNP. This approach to EEL has already been suggested some years ago. ,, However, recent experimental studies continue this work. These studies report on the demonstration of strong-coupling effects, enhancement phenomena, and EEL (refs − concentrated on MNP semiconductor nanosystems and refs − on MNP molecule complexes).…”
