What is Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR)?
Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) is a phenomenon that occurs when conduction electrons on the surface of metallic nanoparticles resonate with incident light at specific wavelengths. This interaction leads to a collective oscillation of electrons, resulting in enhanced electromagnetic fields at the nanoparticle's surface. LSPR is highly sensitive to the size, shape, composition, and local environment of the nanoparticles.
