Harnessing the optical properties of gold nanorods: fluorescence enhancement, biosensing and photothermal therapy
… ends with a dissertation overview. Plasmonic nanoparticles can strongly interact with adjacent fluorophores, resulting in plasmon-enhanced fluorescence or fluorescence quenching. Chapter 2 explores how fluorescence behavior is altered near a gold nanorod surface. Fluorescence coupling is …
