Abstract
Direct photoluminescence (PL) from metal nanoparticles (NPs) without chemical dyes is promising for sensing and imaging applications since this offers a highly tunable platform for controlling and enhancing the signals in various conditions and does not suffer from photobleaching or photoblinking. It is, however, difficult to synthesize metal NPs with a high quantum yield (QY), particularly in the near-infrared (NIR) region where deep penetration and reduced light scattering are advantageous for bioimaging. Herein, we designed and synthesized Au-Ag long-body nanosnowman structures (LNSs), facilitated by polysorbate 20 (Tween 20). The DNA-engineered conductive junction between the head and body parts results in a charge transfer plasmon (CTP) mode in the NIR region. The junction morphology can be controlled by the DNA sequence on the Au core, and polythymine and polyadenine induced thick and thin junctions, respectively. We found that the LNSs with a thicker conductive junction generates the stronger CTP peak and PL signal than the LNSs with a thinner junction. The Au-Ag LNSs showed much higher intensities in both PL and QY than widely studied Au nanorods with similar localized surface plasmon resonance wavelengths, and notably, the LNSs displayed high photostability and robust, sustainable PL signals under continuous laser exposure for >15 h. Moreover, the PL emission from Au-Ag LNSs could be imaged in a deeper scattering medium than fluorescent silica NPs. Finally, highly robust PL-based cell images can be obtained using Au-Ag LNSs without significant signal change while repetitively imaging cells. The results offer the insights in plasmonic NIR probe design, and show that chemical dye-free LNSs can be a very promising candidate with a high QY and a robust, reliable NIR PL signal for NIR sensing and imaging applications.

Abstract
Plasmonic systems are becoming a favourable alternative to dye molecules in the generation of photoacoustic signals for spectroscopy and imaging. In particular, inorganic nanoparticles are appealing because of their versatility. In fact, as the shape, size and chemical composition of nanoparticles are directly correlated with their plasmonic properties, the excitation wavelength can be tuned to their plasmon resonance by adjusting such traits. This feature enables an extensive spectral range to be covered. In addition, surface chemical modifications can be performed to provide the nanoparticles with designed functionalities, e.g., selective affinity for specific macromolecules. The efficiency of the conversion of absorbed photon energy into heat, which is the physical basis of the photoacoustic signal, can be accurately determined by photoacoustic methods. This review contrasts studies that evaluate photoconversion in various kinds of nanomaterials by different methods, with the objective of facilitating the researchers' choice of suitable plasmonic nanoparticles for photoacoustic applications.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters with distinct photophysical and photochemical properties have drawn intense research interests for their applications in optoelectronics, catalysis, and biomedicine. Herein, strong evidence is provided that light metal is capable of generating comparable optical responses of noble metal nanoclusters, but at much shorter wavelength. Air-stable, size-uniform, sub-3 nm aluminum nanocrystals are prepared with simple solution based synthetic procedures, with photoluminescence located in the ultraviolet range and short exciton lifetime. Partial modulation of the photoluminescence is achieved, indicating the key role of surface oxides. This work is envisioned to inspire new frontiers of nanocluster research with light metals.

Abstract
The size- and shape-controlled enhanced optical response of metal nanoparticles (NPs) is referred to as a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). LSPRs result in amplified surface and interparticle electric fields, which then enhance light absorption of the molecules or other materials coupled to the metallic NPs and/or generate hot carriers within the NPs themselves. When mediated by metallic NPs, photocatalysis can take advantage of this unique optical phenomenon. This review highlights the contributions of quantum mechanical modeling in understanding and guiding current attempts to incorporate plasmonic excitations to improve the kinetics of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions. A range of first-principles quantum mechanics techniques has offered insights, from ground-state density functional theory (DFT) to excited-state theories such as multireference correlated wavefunction methods. Here we discuss the advantages and limitations of these methods in the context of accurately capturing plasmonic effects, with accompanying examples.

Abstract
The purpose of this minireview is to build a bridge between two research fields: surface-enhanced resonant Raman spectroscopy (SERRS) under near-single-molecule conditions and the branch of plasmonics treating strong coupling between plasmons and molecular excitons. SERRS enables single-molecule spectroscopy owing to its significant enhancement at SERRS hotspots (HSs), localized at gaps or junctions between plasmonic nanoparticle aggregates. SERRS is SERS (surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy) under a resonant Raman excitation condition. The origin of the Raman enhancement in SERRS is electromagnetic coupling between plasmons and molecular excitons at HSs. It has been reported that the coupling energy at HSs reaches the strong coupling region, meaning that they are potential platforms for applications of single molecular excitons modified by strong coupling. In this review, we discuss recent progress related to electronic strong coupling in near-single-molecule SERRS: collective (e.g., vibrational) strong coupling is out of the scope of this minireview. First, we explain the relationship between the electromagnetic enhancement factor and coupling energy. Second, we introduce three theoretical methods for obtaining evidence of strong coupling at HSs. Third, we discuss a method for reproducing enhanced and modified molecular Raman and fluorescence spectra at HSs using the coupling energy. Finally, we propose the use of two experimental methods of absorption spectroscopy at HSs for modifying molecular electronic dynamics by strong coupling and comment on future applications of SERRS HSs to photophysics and photochemistry.

Abstract
Artificial resonant metamaterial with subwavelength localized filed is promising for advanced nonlinear photonic applications. In this article, we demonstrate enhanced nonlinear frequency-agile response and hysteresis tunability in a Fano-resonant hybrid metamaterial. A ceramic cuboid is electromagnetically coupled with metal cut-wire structure to excite the high-Q Fano-resonant mode in the dielectric/metal hybrid metamaterial. It is found that the significant nonlinear response of the ceramic cuboid can be employed for realization of tunable metamaterials by exciting its magnetic mode, and the trapped mode with an asymmetric Fano-like resonance is beneficial to achieve notable nonlinear modulation on the scattering spectrum. The nonlinear tunability of both the ceramic structure and the ceramic/metal hybrid metamaterial is promising to extend the operation band of metamaterials, providing possibility in practical applications with enhanced light-matter interactions.

Abstract
Superstructures of gold nanospheres offer augmented surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activities beyond the limits of their individual building blocks. However, for application as reliable and quantitative colloidal SERS probes, some key aspects need to be considered to combine efficiency and robustness with respect to hotspot excitation, analyte adsorption, signal stability, and colloidal stability. For this purpose, we studied core/satellite superstructures with spherical cores as a simple optically isotropic model system. Superstructures of different core sizes were assembled using bovine serum albumin (BSA), which serves as a non-specific biomacromolecular linker and provides electrosteric stabilization. We show that the "noisy" spectral footprint of the protein coating may serve as an internal standard, which allows accurate monitoring of the adsorption kinetics of analytes. The SERS activity was quantified using 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) as an aromatic low-molecular-weight model analyte. The molar SERS efficiency was studied by variation of the particle (Au0) and analyte concentrations with a limit of detection of 10-7 M MBA. The practical importance of colloidal stability for robust measurement conditions was demonstrated by comparing the superstructures with their citrate-stabilized or protein-coated building blocks. We explain the theoretical background of hotspot formation by a leader/follower relationship of asymmetric control between the core and the satellites and give practical guidelines for robust colloidal SERS sensing probes.

Abstract
The photothermal (PT) signal arises from slight changes of the index of refraction in a sample due to absorption of a heating light beam. Refractive index changes are measured with a second probing beam, usually of a different color. In the past two decades, this all-optical detection method has reached the sensitivity of single particles and single molecules, which gave birth to original applications in material science and biology. PT microscopy enables shot-noise-limited detection of individual nanoabsorbers among strong scatterers and circumvents many of the limitations of fluorescence-based detection. This review describes the theoretical basis of PT microscopy, the methodological developments that improved its sensitivity toward single-nanoparticle and single-molecule imaging, and a vast number of applications to single-nanoparticle imaging and tracking in material science and in cellular biology.

Abstract
Plasmonic artificial molecules are promising platforms for linear and nonlinear optical modulation at various regimes including the visible, infrared and terahertz bands. Fano resonances in plasmonic artificial structures are widely used for controlling spectral lineshapes and tailoring of near-field and far-field optical response. Generation of a strong Fano resonance usually relies on strong plasmon coupling in densely packed plasmonic structures. Challenges in reproducible fabrication using conventional lithography significantly hinders the exploration of novel plasmonic nanostructures for strong Fano resonance. In this work, we propose a new class of plasmonic molecules with symmetric structure for Fano resonances, named evenly divided disk, which shows a strong Fano resonance due to the interference between a subradiant anti-bonding mode and a superradiant bonding mode. We successfully fabricated evenly divided disk structures with high reproducibility and with sub-20 nm gaps, using our recently developed sketch and peel lithography technique. The experimental spectra agree well with the calculated response, indicating the robustness of the Fano resonance for the evenly divided disk geometry. Control experiments reveal that the strength of the Fano resonance gradually increases when increasing the number of split parts on the disk from three to eight individual segments. The Fano-resonant plasmonic molecules that can also be reliably defined by our unique fabrication approach open up new avenues for application and provide insight into the design of artificial molecules for controlling light-matter interactions.

Abstract
The discovery of the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on nanostructured metal surfaces is a landmark in the history of spectroscopic and analytical techniques. Significant experimental and theoretical effort has been directed toward understanding the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect and demonstrating its potential in various types of ultrasensitive sensing applications in a wide variety of fields. In the 45 years since its discovery, SERS has blossomed into a rich area of research and technology, but additional efforts are still needed before it can be routinely used analytically and in commercial products. In this Review, prominent authors from around the world joined together to summarize the state of the art in understanding and using SERS and to predict what can be expected in the near future in terms of research, applications, and technological development. This Review is dedicated to SERS pioneer and our coauthor, the late Prof. Richard Van Duyne, whom we lost during the preparation of this article.

Abstract
We report on an anomalous plasmon hybridization in side-by-side coupled metallic nanoantennas on top of a silicon waveguide. Contrary to the conventional perception based on Coulomb coupling, the hybridized anti-symmetric mode in our structure possesses a higher resonance frequency than the symmetric mode. This unusual phenomenon reveals a new mechanism of plasmon hybridization, namely, coupling-induced charge redistribution. Our work includes numerical simulation, experimental validation, and theoretical analysis, emphasizing the importance of dielectric interfaces in coupled plasmonic structures, and offers new possibilities for non-Hermitian systems and integrated devices.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanostructures possessing unique and versatile optoelectronic properties have been vastly investigated over the past decade. However, the full potential of plasmonic nanostructure has not yet been fully exploited, particularly with single-component homogeneous structures with monotonic properties, and the addition of new components for making multicomponent nanoparticles may lead to new-yet-unexpected or improved properties. Here we define the term "multi-component nanoparticles" as hybrid structures composed of two or more condensed nanoscale domains with distinctive material compositions, shapes, or sizes. We reviewed and discussed the designing principles and synthetic strategies to efficiently combine multiple components to form hybrid nanoparticles with a new or improved plasmonic functionality. In particular, it has been quite challenging to precisely synthesize widely diverse multicomponent plasmonic structures, limiting realization of the full potential of plasmonic heterostructures. To address this challenge, several synthetic approaches have been reported to form a variety of different multicomponent plasmonic nanoparticles, mainly based on heterogeneous nucleation, atomic replacements, adsorption on supports, and biomolecule-mediated assemblies. In addition, the unique and synergistic features of multicomponent plasmonic nanoparticles, such as combination of pristine material properties, finely tuned plasmon resonance and coupling, enhanced light-matter interactions, geometry-induced polarization, and plasmon-induced energy and charge transfer across the heterointerface, were reported. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the latest advances on state-of-art synthetic strategies, unique properties, and promising applications of multicomponent plasmonic nanoparticles. These plasmonic nanoparticles including heterostructured nanoparticles and composite nanostructures are prepared by direct synthesis and physical force- or biomolecule-mediated assembly, which hold tremendous potential for plasmon-mediated energy transfer, magnetic plasmonics, metamolecules, and nanobiotechnology.

Abstract
The ability to control and manipulate temperature at nanoscale dimensions has the potential to impact applications including heat-assisted magnetic recording, photothermal therapies, and temperature-driven reactivity. One challenge with controlling temperature at nanometer dimensions is the need to mitigate heat diffusion, such that the temperature only changes in well-defined nanoscopic regions of the sample. Here we demonstrate the ability to use far-field laser excitation to actively shape the thermal near-field in individual gold nanorod heterodimers by resonantly pumping either the in-phase or out-of-phase hybridized dipole plasmon modes. Using single-particle photothermal heterodyne imaging, we demonstrate localization bias in the photothermal intensity due to preferential heating of one of the nanorods within the pair. Theoretical modeling and numerical simulation make explicit how the resulting photothermal images encode wavelength-dependent temperature biases between each nanorod within a heterodimer, demonstrating the ability to actively manage the thermal near-field by simply tuning the color of incident light.

Abstract
The application scope of plasmonic nanostructures is rapidly expanding to keep pace with the ongoing development of various scientific findings and emerging technologies. However, most plasmonic nanostructures heavily depend on rare, expensive, and extensively studied noble metals such as Au and Ag, with the limited choice of elements hindering their broad and practical applications in a wide spectral range. Therefore, abundant and inexpensive nonnoble metals have attracted attention as new plasmonic nanomaterial components, allowing these nonnoble-metal-based materials to be used in areas such as photocatalysis, sensing, nanoantennas, metamaterials, and magnetoplasmonics with new compositions, structures, and properties. Furthermore, the use of nonnoble metal hybrids results in newly emerging or synergistic properties not observed from single-metal component systems. Here, the synthetic strategies and recent advances in nonnoble-metal-based plasmonic nanostructures comprising Cu, Al, Mg, In, Ga, Pb, Ni, Co, Fe, and related hybrids are highlighted, and a discussion and perspectives in their synthesis, properties, applications, and challenges are presented.

Abstract
The inhibition of radiative losses in dark plasmon modes allows storing electromagnetic energy more efficiently than in far-field excitable bright-plasmon modes. As such, processes benefiting from the enhanced absorption of light in plasmonic materials could also take profit of dark plasmon modes to boost and control nanoscale energy collection, storage, and transfer. We experimentally probe this process by imaging with nanoscale precision the hot-electron driven desorption of thiolated molecules from the surface of gold Fano nanostructures, investigating the effect of wavelength and polarization of the incident light. Spatially resolved absorption maps allow us to show the contribution of each element of the nanoantenna in the hot-electron driven process and their interplay in exciting a dark plasmon mode. Plasmon-mode engineering allows control of nanoscale reactivity and offers a route to further enhance and manipulate hot-electron driven chemical reactions and energy-conversion and transfer at the nanoscale.

Abstract
Fullerene in the plasmon fullerene cavity is utilized to propagate plasmon energy in order to break the confinement of the plasmonic coupling effect, which relies on the influential near-field optical region. It acts as a plasmonic inductor for coupling gold nano-islands to the gold film; the separation distances of the upper and lower layers are longer than conventional plasmonic cavities. This coupling effect causes the discrete and continuum states to cooperate together in a cavity and produces asymmetric curve lines in the spectra, producing a hybridized resonance. The effect brings about a bright and saturated displaying film with abundant visible colors. In addition, the reflection spectrum is nearly omnidirectional, shifting by only 5% even when the incident angle changes beyond ± 60°. These advantages allow plasmon fullerene cavities to be applied to reflectors, color filters, visible chromatic sensors, and large-area display.

Abstract
The highly tunable optical properties of metal nanoparticles make them an ideal building block in any application that requires control over light, heat, or electrons on the nanoscale. Because of their size, metal nanoparticles both absorb and scatter light efficiently. Consequently, improving their performance often involves shifting the balance between absorption and scattering to promote desirable features of their optical properties. Scattering by single metal nanoparticles is commonly characterized using dark-field scattering spectroscopy, but routine methods to characterize pure absorption over a broad wavelength range are much more complex. This article reviews work from our lab using photothermal imaging in combination with dark-field scattering and electron microscopy to separate radiative and nonradiative properties of single nanoparticles and their assemblies. We present both initial work using different laser wavelengths to explore pure absorption free from scattering contributions based on the heat released into the environment as well as the development of photothermal spectroscopy over a broad wavelength range, making it possible to resolve details that are otherwise hidden in ensemble measurements that most of the time also do not separate radiative and nonradiative properties.

Abstract
Bimetallic nanocatalysts have the potential to surmount current limitations in industrial catalysis if their electronic and optical properties can be effectively controlled. However, improving the performance of bimetallic photocatalysts requires a functional understanding of how the intricacies of their morphology and composition dictate every element of their optical response. In this work, we examine Au and Pt-decorated Au nanorods on a single-particle level to ascertain how Pt influences the plasmon resonance of the bimetallic nanostructure. We correlated scattering, photoluminescence, and pure absorption of individual nanostructures separately to expose the impact of Pt on each component. We found that the scattering and absorption spectra of uncoated Au nanorods followed expected trends in peak intensity and shape and were accurately reproduced by finite difference time domain simulations. In contrast, the scattering and absorption spectra of single Pt-decorated Au nanorods exhibited red-shifted, broad features and large deviations in line shape from particle to particle. Simulations using an idealized geometry confirmed that Pt damps the plasmon resonance of individual Au nanorods and that spectral changes after Pt deposition were a consequence of coupling between Au and Pt in the hybrid nanostructure. Simulations also revealed that the Au nanorod acts as an antenna and enhances absorption in the Pt islands. Furthermore, comparing photoluminescence spectra from Au and Pt-decorated Au nanorods illustrated that emission was significantly reduced in the presence of Pt. The reduction in photoluminescence intensity indicates that Pt lowers the number of hot carriers in the Au nanorod available for radiative recombination through either direct production of hot carriers in Pt following enhanced absorption or charge transfer from Au to Pt. Overall, these results confirm that the Pt island morphology and distribution on the nanorod surface contribute to the optical response of individual hybrid nanostructures and that the damping observed in ensemble measurements originates not only from structural heterogeneity but also because of significant damping in single nanostructures.

Abstract
Plasmonic assemblies featuring high sensitivity that can be readily shifted by external fields are the key for sensitive and versatile sensing devices. In this paper, a novel fast-responsive plasmonic nanocomposite composed of a multilayer nanohole array and a responsive electrochromic polymer is proposed with the plasmonic mode appearance vigorously cycled upon orthogonal electrical stimuli. In this nanocomposite, the coaxially stacked plasmonic nanohole arrays can induce multiple intense Fano resonances, which result from the crosstalk between a broad surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and the designed discrete transmission peaks with ultrahigh sensitivity; the polymer wrapper could provide the sensitive nanohole array with real-time-varied surroundings of refractive indices upon electrical stimuli. Therefore, a pronounced pure electroplasmonic shift up to 72 nm is obtained, which is the largest pure electrotuning SPR range to our knowledge. The stacked nanohole arrays here are also directly used as a working electrode, and they ensure sufficient contact between the working electrode (plasmonic structure) and the electroactive polymer, thus providing considerably improved response speed (within 1 s) for real-time sensing and switching.

Abstract
The "artificial magnetic" resonance in plasmonic metamolecules extends the potential application of magnetic resonance from terahertz to optical frequency bypassing the problem of magnetic response saturation by replacing the conduction current with the ring displacement current. So far, the magnetic Fano resonance-induced nonlinearity enhancement in plasmonic metamolecule rings has not been reported. Here, we use the magnetic Fano resonance to enhance second-harmonic generation (SHG) in plasmonic metamolecule rings. In the spectra of the plasmonic metamolecule, an obvious Fano dip appears in the scattering cross section, while the dip does not appear in the absorption cross section. It indicates that at the Fano dip the radiative losses are suppressed, while the optical absorption efficiency is at a high level. The largely enhanced SHG signal is observed as the excitation wavelength is adjusted at the magnetic Fano dip of the plasmonic metamolecule rings with stable and tunable magnetic responses. We also compare the magnetic Fano dip with the electric case to show its advantages in enhancing the fundamental and second harmonic responses. Our research provides a new thought for enhancing optical nonlinear processes by magnetic modes.
