Plasmonic gold nanorods are promising and sensitive light scattering probes, which can reach the single particle level. Herein, we present the scattering properties of gold nanorods for time-resolved visual detection of heparin based on the rapid etching of gold nanorods under dark-field microscopy.

AbstractRecent developments in the application of plasmonic nanoparticles have showcased the importance of understanding in detail their plasmonic resonances at the single-particle level. These resonances can be excited and probed through various methods, which can be grouped in four categories, depending on whether excitation and detection involve electrons (electron energy loss spectroscopy), photons (e.g., dark-field microscopy), or both (cathodoluminescence and photon-induced near-field electron microscopy). While both photon-based and electron-based methods have made great strides toward deepening our understanding of known plasmonic properties and discovering new ones, they have in general progressed in parallel, without much cross-pollination. This evolution can be primarily attributed to the different theoretical approaches driving these techniques, mainly dictated by the inherent different nature of electrons and photons. The discrepancies that still exist among them have hampered the development of a holistic approach to the characterization of plasmonic materials. In this review therefore, we aim to briefly present those electron-based and photon-based methods fundamental to the study of plasmonic properties at the single-particle level, with an eye to new behaviors involving multipolar, propagating, and bulk modes coexisting in colloidal nanostructures. By exploring the key fundamental discoveries in nanoparticle plasmonics achieved with these techniques, herein we assess how integrating this information could encourage the creation of a unified understanding of the various phenomena occurring in individual nanoparticles, which would benefit the plasmonics and electron microscopy communities alike.

Single-particle level energies form a significant input in nuclear physics calculations where single-particle degrees of freedom are taken into account, including microscopic interacting boson model investigations. The single-particle energies may be treated as input parameters that are fitted to reach an optimal fit to the data. Alternatively, they can be calculated using a mean field potential, or they can be extracted from available experimental data, as is done in the current study. The role of single-particle level energies in the microscopic interacting boson model calculations is discussed with special emphasis on recent double beta decay calculations.
