Boron nitride (BN) sheets were exfoliated, and proof of the presence of single and double layers was obtained via electron…

Previous studies of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) from alloy nanoparticles of gold and silver have focused on bulk studies…

Using a dedicated FEG STEM, we present highly spatially-resolved electron energy-loss (EEL) studies of individual multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), each…

Gold and Silver nanoparticles are used in a variety of optical applications. Of particular consequence to the scattering/absorption of light…

Plasmon spectroscopy of the thinnest possible membrane, a single layer of carbon atoms: graphene, has been carried out in conjunction…
