Bimetallic plasmonic nanoparticles enable tuning of the optical response and chemical stability by variation of the composition. The present numerical simulation study compares Ag-Au alloy, Ag@Au core-shell, and Au@Ag core-shell bimetallic…
Atomically precise thiolate-stabilized gold nanoclusters are currently of interest for many cross-disciplinary applications in chemistry, physics and molecular biology. Very recently, synthesis and electronic properties of "nanoalloy"…
Gold-silica hybrids are appealing in different fields of applications like catalysis, sensors, drug delivery, and biotechnology. In most cases, the morphology and distribution of the hetero-units play significant roles in their functional…
Bimetallic nanoparticles (often known as nanoalloys) with core-shell arrangement are of special interest in several applications, such as in optics, catalysis, magnetism and biomedicine. Despite wide interest in applications, the physical…
Bimetallic nanoreactors in which a plasmonic metal is used to funnel solar energy towards a catalytic metal have recently been studied experimentally, but a detailed theoretical understanding of these systems is lacking. Here, we present…
We report on the high-pressure optical and mechanical properties of penta-twinned gold nanoparticles (PT-AuNPs) of different geometries: decahedra, rods and bipyramids. Our results show that, unlike single-crystal (SC-AuNPs), PT-AuNPs…
Electrical resistivity in good metals, particularly noble metals such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), or copper, increases linearly with temperature ($T$) for $T > \Theta_{\mathrm{D}}$, where $\Theta_{\mathrm{D}}$ is the Debye temperature. This…
Global geometry optimization and time-dependent density functional theory calculations have been used to study the structural evolution and optical properties of (AgAu)n (n=2-6) nanoalloys both as individual clusters and as clusters…
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) play an important role in fundamental research and development due to their versatile applications and biocompatibility. This study addresses the aging of three AuNP suspensions after the addition of various…
Magnetic dipole (MD) transitions are intrinsically weak and highly sensitive to emitter orientation and position, making their controlled enhancement at optical frequencies particularly challenging. Here we show that structural symmetry…
Using nanometer spatial resolution electron-energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and cathodoluminescence (CL) mapping, we demonstrate that Au alloys containing a poor plasmonic metal (Pd) can…
Plasmonic near-field transducers (NFTs) play a key role in administering nanoscale heating for a number of applications ranging from medical devices to next generation data processing technology. We present a novel multi-scale approach,…
Bimetallic nanoparticles are often superior candidates for a wide range of technological and biomedical applications, thanks to their enhanced catalytic, optical, and magnetic properties, which are often better than their monometallic…
A stable core-shell structure with Ih symmetry, Au12@Au30, has been investigated by first-principles calculations. It is composed of an icosahedron core and an icosidodecahedron shell. The stability of the core-shell Au42 structure is…
