Preface

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is a phenomenon that occurs in noble-metal nanoparticles with dimensions (3–100 nm) much smaller than the wavelength of incident light (400–900 nm). The active surface electrons of nanoparticles exhibit collective oscillation upon excitation by incoming light. Because of the small size of the nanoparticles, the electrons are confined within the nanoparticle surface area and are unable to propagate. When the frequency of the incoming photons overlaps with the frequency of the electrons as they oscillate against the r
