Introduction to Gold Nanodisks

What is/are Gold Nanodisks?

Gold Nanodisks - Here, we analyze and compare the sensing performance of silicon and gold nanodisks using a common and unbiased testing framework. ^[1] This spectroscopic tool has been validated using individual nanofabricated antennas (gold nanodisks/nanocones) on a glass substrate, which act as nanoresonators based on localized surface plasmons. ^[2] Gold nanodisks of various diameters were illuminated in the near-infrared (λ = 975 nm) and a single fluorescent nanocrystal glued at the end of an atomic force microscope tip was scanned around them. ^[3] Gold nanodisks array with minimal effect from the glass substrates have been fabricated using nanosphere lithography and HF undercutting. ^[4] Liyong Jiang and co-workers at Nanjing University of Science and Technology have demonstrated two new methods for in-plane illumination of LSPRs on gold nanodisks. ^[5] The device is configured by an hexagonal array of flexible rigid/soft polymeric nanopillars capped with plasmonic gold nanodisks integrated inside a microfluidic channel. ^[6] We present a novel plasmonic hydrogen sensor consisting of an array of gold nanodisks produced by lithography. ^[7] The ultrafast laser-excited breathing vibrations of gold nanodisks with different crystal structures have been studied via atomistic simulations. ^[8] A nanocomposite comprising gold nanodisks (Au NDs) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanophases sandwiched between zeolite nanosheets was fabricated for hydrogen production by plasmonic photocatalytic reforming of methanol. ^[9] The plasmonic and vibrational properties of single gold nanodisks patterned on a sapphire substrate are investigated via spatial modulation and pump-probe optical spectroscopies. ^[10] Here, we use ultrathin single-crystalline gold nanodisks featuring large in-plane electric dipole moments. ^[11]
