Abstract
|
Gold nanorods coated with a mesoporous silica shell (AuNRs@mSiO 2 , core@shell) have been in the employment for various bioapplications, including drug delivery and photothermal cancer therapy. Nevertheless, limited studies have been conducted on AuNRs@mSiO 2 for their biosensing applications that use a refractive index (RI)-based localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). In this study, the LSPR detection sensitivity of individual AuNRs@mSiO 2 with two distinctive core sizes, but the same aspect ratio of 3, was presented at LSPR inflection points (IFs) according to RI variations of the surrounding environment. The RI sensitivity at the homogeneous LSPR IF located on the low-energy side was higher than the wavelength shifts in the conventional LSPR maximum peak. Moreover, single AuNRs@mSiO 2 having a smaller core size exhibited better RI sensitivity at the IFs of LSPR. Thus, we presented a better understanding of the RI-based detection sensitivity in single AuNRs@mSiO 2 at LSPR IFs for developing LSPR biosensors.
