The strong enhancement and localization of electromagnetic field in plasmonic systems have found applications in many areas, which include sensing and biosensing. In this paper, an overview will be provided of the use of ...

Gold nanostars provide high sensitivity for single nanoparticle label-free biosensing. The nanostars present multiple plasmon resonances of which the lower energy ones, corresponding to the nanostar tips and core-tip ...

The recent development of silver nanostars (Ag-NSs) is promising for improved surface-enhanced sensing and spectroscopy, which may be further exploited if the mechanisms behind the excitation of localized surface plasmon ...

Fluorescence readout is uniquely powerful for biological assays and imaging because it combines the detection of specific biotargets with high spatial and temporal resolution. Recently, several strategies for the modulation ...

By combining surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and electrolyte gated field-effect transistor (EG-FET) methods in a single analytical device we introduce a novel tool for surface investigations, enabling simultaneous measurements ...

In this thesis, an auxiliary method based on the effective medium theory is applied to surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensing in order to extract quantitative properties of the biosensor functionalization. An automatized ...

Surface Plasmon Resonance assays are being developed as alternative biodetection methods for a great number of pesticides and toxins. These substances typically have low molecular weight, making it necessary to perform ...
