Gold Nanoparticles: Plasmonic Aspects and Applications

About The Book

Plasmonics is an emerging research field for studying the interactions between electromagnetic waves and matter at the nanoscale. This book Gold nanoparticles: “Plasmonic Aspects and Applications” presents an appealing overview of the topic to both UG & PG students and researchers in describing the interaction of light with metal nanoparticles and nanoantennas for light radiation from concepts to recent discoveries in synthesis as well as applications.

Further this book gives detailed information on the systematic tuning/reshaping procedures for the synthesis of unusual new asymmetrical shape of the metal nanoparticles in high yield and purity, having plasmonic resonances spanning the entire visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum, that has not been envisaged before with much ease.
