Localized surface plasmon resonance inflection points for improved detection of chemisorption of 1-alkanethiols under total internal reflection scattering microscopy
Abstract Plasmonic gold nanoparticles are widely used in localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensing. When target molecules adsorb to the nanoparticles, they induce a shift in the LSPR scattering spectrum. In conventional LSPR sensing, this shift is monitored at the maximum of the LSPR scatte...
