TL;DR: The wavelength corresponding to the extinction maximum, λmax, of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of silver nanoparticle arrays fabricated by nanosphere lithography (NSL) can be systematically tuned from ∼400 nm to 6000 nm as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the electrodynamics of silver nanoparticles and of clusters of nanoparticles, with an emphasis on extinction spectra and of electric fields near the particle surfaces that are important in determining surfaceenhanced Raman (SER) intensities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effect of solvent on the optical extinction spectrum of periodic arrays of surface-confined silver nanoparticles fabricated by nanosphere lithography (NSL) and showed that the defect sites that occur as a byproduct of the NSL fabrication process play a negligible role in the macroscale extinction spectrum.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the optical extinction spectrum of a periodic array of silver nanoparticles fabricated by nanosphere lithography (NSL) and compared the results with predictions of electrodynamic theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy of para-nitrobenzoic acid (PNBA) adsorbed on thermally evaporated silver films has been conducted to determine the effect of film architecture on the magnitude of SEIRA enhancement.
