Abstract: A new approach for the synthesis of colloidal gold shell particles with a dielectric core is described. Small gold nanoclusters were attached to the functionalized surface of colloidal silica particles. Reductive growth and coalescence of these clusters lead to the formation of a closed gold layer. By variation of the thickness of this gold layer and the radius of the shell it is possible to adjust the plasmon resonance of the gold shell particles over the whole visible and infrared region of the spectrum. The optical properties of the particles made are in good agreement with theoretical calculations for core−shell particles. Because of their low polydispersity, these gold shell particles form large crystals with submicron lattice constants. It is also possible to produce hollow gold shells by dissolution of the silica core. Further, a new method to coat the silica core gold shell particles with an additional outer silica shell is presented. This allows for a reduction in the van der Waals forces and fac...

A hybridization model for the plasmon response of complex nanostructures.
TL;DR: A simple and intuitive picture that describes the plasmon response of complex nanostructures of arbitrary shape is presented, an electromagnetic analog of molecular orbital theory, that can be understood as the interaction or "hybridization" of elementary plasmons supported by nanostructure of elementary geometries.

Probing Single Molecules and Single Nanoparticles by Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering
Shuming Nie,Steven R. Emory +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, surface-enhanced Raman scattering was used to detect single molecules and single nanoparticles at room temperature with the use of surface enhanced Raman, and the intrinsic Raman enhancement factors were on the order of 10 14 to 10 15, much larger than the ensemble-averaged values derived from conventional measurements.
