Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Based Nanobiosensors

The book "Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Based Nanobiosensors" offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals and applications of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of noble metallic nanoparticles. It places a particular emphasis on the biosensor applications of these plasmonic nanoparticles, especially in the imaging of living cells and photothermal therapy. The various operating principles of plasmonic sensors are explained in detail, with a specific focus on detection based on individual nanoparticles. Additionally, innovative biosensors are presented that rely on the modulation of various parameters of nanoparticles, such as particle size, shape, composition, and the surrounding medium, to enable label-free detection. The book also addresses effects such as interparticle coupling, energy transfer of plasmon resonance, and electron transfer at the surface of plasmons. It is aimed at students and researchers working in the interdisciplinary fields of chemistry, biology, materials science, and nanophotonics.
