Abstract:
High refractive index sensitivity (RIS) of branched Au-Pd nanocrystals (NCs) is engineered through lowering the dielectric dispersion at the NC resonant wavelength with internal or external atomic % Pd. To our knowledge, these NCs display the highest ensemble RIS measurement for colloids with LSPR maximum band positions ≤900 nm, and these results are corroborated with FDTD computations.
