In recent years, interest in studying the optical properties of metallic nanostructures has grown. This interest is primarily related to the possibility of practical application of such nanostructures in quantum optical computers, micro- and nanosensors. These applications are based on the fundamental optical effect of surface plasmon excitation. The consequence of this phenomenon is surface plasmon resonance (SPR) - an increase in the cross section of energy absorption by a metal nanoparticle as the frequency of incident light (laser radiation) approaches the SPR frequency of the nanoparticle. Plasmon structures are used to improve the efficiency of thin-film SC. In such structures, metal nanoparticles can primarily act as additional scattering elements for the long-wavelength component of sunlight illuminating SC. As a collective phenomenon, SPR can be described using kinetic approaches, ie using the Boltzmann kinetic equation for the conduction electrons of metal nanoparticles. In this work, the theory of SPR based on the kinetic equation for the conduction electrons of nanoparticles is constructed. to the well-known results derived from the Drude-Sommerfeld theory. Second, the kinetic method makes it possible to study metal nanoparticles with sizes larger or ptical conductivity tensor for spheroidal metal nanoparticles. It is shown that the effect of nanoparticle asymmetry on the ratio of the components of the optical conductivity tensor differs not only smaller than the average electron free path length. The developed theory is used to calculate the oquantitatively but also qualitatively in high-frequency and low-frequency surface scattering. It was found that in metal nanoparticles in a dielectric matrix, under SPR conditions, the full width of the SPR line in a spherical metal nanoparticle depends on both the radius of the particle and the frequency of the electromagnetic (laser) radiation exciting this SPR. It is shown that oscillations of the SPR line width with a change in the dielectric constant of the medium in which they are located can be observed in metal nanoparticles. The magnitude of these oscillations is greater the smaller the size of the nanoparticle and increases significantly with increase. As the radius of the spherical nanoparticle increases, the width of the SPR line decreases significantly and prevails around a certain constant value in media with a higher value of dielectric constant.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) allows for real-time, label-free optical detection of many chemical and biological substances. Having emerged in the last two decades, it is a widely used technique due to its non-invasive nature, allowing for the ultra-sensitive detection of a number of analytes. This review article discusses the principles, providing examples and illustrating the utility of SPR within the frame of plasmonic nanobiosensing, while making comparisons with its successor, namely localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). In particular LSPR utilizes both metal nanoparticle arrays and single nanoparticles, as compared to a continuous film of gold as used in traditional SPR. LSPR, utilizes metal nanoparticle arrays or single nanoparticles that have smaller sizes than the wavelength of the incident light, measuring small changes in the wavelength of the absorbance position, rather than the angle as in SPR. We introduce LSPR nanobiosensing by describing the initial experiments performed, shift-enhancement methods, exploitation of the short electromagnetic field decay length, and single nanoparticle sensors are as pathways to further exploit the strengths of LSPR nanobiosensing. Coupling molecular identification to LSPR spectroscopy is also explored and thus examples from surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy are provided. The unique characteristics of LSPR nanobiosensing are emphasized and the challenges using LSPR nanobiosensors for detection of biomolecules as a biomarker are discussed.

We report the mechanical control of plasmonic coupling between gold nanoparticles (GNPs) coated onto a large area wrinkled surface of an elastomeric template. Self-assembly and bottom-up procedures, were used to fabricate the sample and to increase the size of GNPs by exploiting the reduction of HAuCl4 with hydroxylamine. The elastic properties of template, the increase of nanostructure size joined with the particular grating configuration of the surface have been exploited to trigger and handle the coupling processes between the nanoparticles.
