Lead nanoparticles, the deep-ultraviolet to near-infrared plasmonic platform
Michael Foltýn, Michal Kvapil, Kristýna Bukvišová +2
Among the other non-noble metals, lead (Pb) is a material of particular interest for plasmonic applications in the deep ultraviolet spectral region. However, experimental studies o…
Plasmonics of non-noble metals
Michal Horák, Michael Foltýn, Viktor Bajo +2
Localized surface plasmon resonances are self-sustained, collective oscillations of free electrons in metallic nanostructures. They have a wide range of applications. The most comm…
Plasmonic properties of individual bismuth nanoparticles
Michael Foltýn, Michal Kvapil, Tomáš Šikola +1
Bismuth nanoparticles are being investigated due to their reported photothermal and photocatalytic properties. In this study, we synthesised spherical bismuth nanoparticles (50-600…
Bismuth plasmonic antennas
Michael Foltýn, Tomáš Šikola, Michal Horák
Bismuth is a particularly promising alternative plasmonic metal because of its theoretically predicted wide spectral bandwidth. In this study, we experimentally demonstrated the co…
