  2. 1. Nanoplasmonic Spectroscopy of Single Nanoparticles Tracking Size and Shape Effects in Pd Hydride Formation

    Author : Svetlana Syrenova; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hole-mask colloidal lithography; enthalpy of formation; palladium nanoparticles and nanocrystals; metal-hydrogen interactions; shrinking-hole colloidal lithography; localized surface plasmon resonance; dark field scattering spectroscopy; single particle spectroscopy; nanoscale effects; plasmonic sensors;

    Abstract : Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is a phenomenon of collective oscillation of conduction electrons in metal nanoparticles smaller than the wavelength of light that is used for its excitation. Plasmonic metal nanoparticles are able to confine light to extremely small volumes around them, i.e. below the diffraction limit. READ MORE

  5. 3. Optical Imaging and Spectroscopy of Metal Nanostructures

    Author : Juris Prikulis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanoparticles; surface plasmon resonance; surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy; near-field optical microscopy; optical tweezers;

    Abstract : Noble metal structures with size in the sub 100 nm range exhibit extraordinary optical properties due to collective oscillations of conduction electrons, the surface plasmon resonances (SPR). The most remarkable feature of these structures is the ability to redistribute electromagnetic radiation and concentrate strong fields near the surface. READ MORE

    Abstract : Cu nanoparticles are commonly used in microelectronic devices and as catalysts in, for example, methanol synthesis and methanol steam reforming reactions. However, Cu nanoparticles are prone to oxidation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Combining Nanoplasmonics and Nanofluidics for Single Particle Catalysis

    Author : David Albinsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heterogeneous catalysis; CO oxidation; plasmonic sensing; dark field scattering spectroscopy; nanocatalyst; LSPR; single particle catalysis; nanofluidics; nanoreactor; Cu oxidation;

    Abstract : Nanoparticles are, due to their large exposed surface area, widely used in the field of heterogeneous catalysis where they accelerate and steer chemical reactions. Although catalysis has been known about for centuries, the scrutiny of catalysts under realistic application conditions is still a major challenge. READ MORE
