Hydride formation in single Palladium and Magnesium nanoparticles studied by nanoplasmonic dark field scattering spectroscopy

Journal article, 2011

Scrutinizing functional nanosystems and relating details in their size, chemistry, and geometry to functionality remains a significant experimental challenge. Following the concept of indirect nanoplasmonic sensing (INPS), the exploitation of truncated Au nanocones with functionalized tips, nanofabricated in a one step, are used as single nanoplasmonic sensors for dark-field scattering spectroscopy measurements of the hydride formation Au in single Pd and Mg nanoparticles.
