In this article, the dipolar response of gold nanorods on the adsorbed organic molecule, benzonitrile, has been investigated. We estimate the average aspect ratio of nanorods using TEM measurements. The longitudinal and transverse plasmon modes of nanorods are measured and analyzed using theoretical estimates. Well characterized gold nanorods are further used to establish the effect of plasmon coupling on the characteristics of the ligand molecule. Making use of the dipolar response function model we are able to match the experimental and theoretical values of the frequencies of vibrational modes of ad-molecules upon adsorption on the rod surface. We believe that our studies using optical probes can explain the effect of the metallic nanorod, as a whole, on the ad molecules and can thereby serve as a sensitive tool to understand metal-ligand interactions for such metallic nanostructures.

Plasmonic structured illumination microscopy (PSIM) is a super-resolution technique that utilizes surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) with higher frequency as the structured light; thus, it is able to break the diffraction limit with a 3-4 times resolution enhancement. However, the low efficiency of near-field fluorescence collection results in a low imaging signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of PSIM. In this paper, we propose a method to enhance the performance of PSIM with surface plasmon coupled emission (SPCE).

In this paper, we discuss quantum friction in a system formed by two metallic surfaces separated by a ferromagnetic intermedium of a certain thickness. The internal degrees of freedom in the two metallic surfaces are assumed to be plasmons, while the excitations in the intermediate material are magnons, modeling plasmons coupled to magnons. During relative sliding, one surface moves uniformly parallel to the other, causing friction in the system.

In this study, we demonstrate a novel and efficient fabrication methodology for nonclose-packed, two-dimensional (2D) colloidal crystals exhibiting square lattice structures. In our recent work, we detailed the formation of 2D colloidal crystals via the electrostatic adsorption of three-dimensional (3D) charged colloidal crystals onto oppositely charged substrates. These 3D colloidal crystals possessed a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice structure with their (111) planes aligned parallel to the substrate, facilitating the formation of 2D crystals with triangular lattice arrangements upon adsorption.

Nanostructured high-index dielectrics have shown great promise as low-loss photonic platforms for wavefront control and enhancing optical nonlinearities. However, their potential as optomechanical resonators has remained unexplored. In this work, we investigate the generation and detection of coherent acoustic phonons in individual crystalline gallium phosphide nanodisks on silica in a pump-probe configuration.

Organophosphorus nerve agents (OPNAs) are highly lethal chemical warfare agents (CWAs), which poses a serious threat to human health and safety. The accurate and rapid identification of OPNAs is crucial for medical diagnosis and effective treatment. However, distinguishing between various OPNAs and their analogues using on-site point-of-care testing (POCT) remains challenging.
