Synthesis and assembling of mono-and bi-metallic plasmonic metal nanoparticles.

Synthesis and morphological as well as optical characterization of mono-and bi-metallic plasmonic metal (mainly Ag and Au) nanoparticles. Preparation of their hybrid systems with selected molecules, namely porphyrins, phthalocyanines transition metal complexes, aromatic N-bases, fullerenes and inorganic as well as organic dyes; molecule-mediated assembling of plasmonic NPs.
