• The Optimal Aspect Ratio of Gold Nanorods for Plasmonic Bio-sensing (2010, background): “The plasmon resonance of coupled particles depends on interparticle distance [1–4], and the strong plasmonic light scattering efficiency allows for the visualization of single nanorods, for example for orientation sensing [5–8].”

• Optical detection of single non-absorbing molecules using the surface plasmon resonance of a gold nanorod. (2012, background): “The most sensitive plasmon sensors to date detect single molecules only when the plasmon shift is amplified by a highly polarizable label [10, 11] or by a localized precipitation reaction on the particle’s surface [12].”
• Localized surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy and sensing. (2007, background): “Researchers have demonstrated this for the released NSLfabricated triangles described above, which were coupled using alkanedithiols (96), and more recently, for Au spheres linked by double-stranded DNA of varying length (110, 111).”
