Synthesis and SERS : Reproducible Nanostar Plasmons and a Study of Optical Enhancement

Creator:

Ramsey, Jacob D.

Abstract:

Gold nanostars are a relative newcomer to the nanoparticle scene, and their unique properties make them very desirable for spectroscopic applications. These nanoparticles, with their sharp tips, create electric field enhancements that interact with light in an advantageous way. This Thesis outlines our in-depth study of gold nanostar synthesis, the...

Capturing Molecular Movies of Organic and Organometallic Systems in Solution by Ultrafast Spectroscopy

Creator:

Boulanger, Sean A.

Abstract:

Ultrafast spectroscopy can exploit the structure-function relationship of chemical- and biological-based systems. More specifically, femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) provides ground- and excited-state vibrational information with simultaneously high spectral (spatial) and temporal resolutions. The electronic counterpart, femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA), complements FSRS data analysis as part of a comprehensive approach...
