Magneto-optical localized-SPR a novel sensing platform to characterize new nanostructured materials for sensing

Metallic nanostructures supporting Localized Surface Plasmons (LSP) are characterized by their unique ability to control and manipulate light at the nanoscale. The excitation of the surface plasmon modes may also affect the magneto-optical (MO) response of metal nanostructures. Such modulated MO signal can represent a novel sensing probe for detection of bulk refractive index changes at metal/dielectric interface.
