Open AccessRaman amplification for trapped radiation in crystalline single Si nanoparticle
In a single crystalline Si particle, we observed a huge amplification of the Raman peak at 521 cm−1. With an AFM microscope, coupled with a Micro-Raman spectrometer, we investigate a single Si particle at wavelen...

Resonant depolarized dynamic light scattering of silver nanoplatelets
Polarized and depolarized dynamic light scattering (DDLS) methodology was carried out on silver nanoplatelets showing strong plasmon-enhanced scattering. The hydrodynamic properties of the nanoparticles were d...

Rotational dynamics of gold nanoparticle chains in water solution
In this work we report a study on the determination of the shape of aggregated gold colloids, obtained by adding pyridine to a solution of pure gold nanoparticles prepared by laser ablation in water studying t...

Si/SiO2 core shell clusters probed by Raman spectroscopy
Using a pulsed microplasma source, clusters were produced through the ablation of a Si cathode and successive supersonic expansion. The Si cluster beam was deposited onto different substrates and the partial...

Formation and characterization of high-density silver nanoparticles embedded in silica thin films by “in situ” self-reduction
Silver nanoparticles (10–20 nm) embedded into silica thin films have been obtained through the use of a silver organometallic precursor compound dissolved in Spin-On-Glass and subsequently spinned onto suitabl...
