Very excited that our latest is live on @Matter_CP! We show Au and Ag plasmonic nanoparticle absorption can be tuned to higher energies (blue and UV) by alloying post-transition metals (Sn, etc.) @RossLabUML @UML_Sciences @UMLResearch authors.elsevier.com/a/1gX1j…

The Kennedy College of Sciences welcomed our first ever cohort of #CatalyzeUML students in #chemistry! It’s been a fun 3 days of living in the residence halls, learning about #nanoscience, and meeting students and faculty! @RossLabUML

Excited to show you all some exciting catalysis and materials apps soon... The bulk of this was done by Maria over a few years and is an incredible piece of work we are quite proud of @mfonseca2016 Melissa and Noah (looking for PhD next year!) were also a big part of the effort.

Importantly, alloying does not significantly damp the absorption. High extinction coefficients are maintained even at ~25% post-transition metal content. Lots of interesting alloying and intermetallic formation as well- read the paper (and SI)!

Excited to share our latest work! Systematic alloying of post-transition metals into noble metals can controllably tune plasmon energies to higher energies. This is contrast to well-known effects of size, shape, or environment, all of which red-shift LSPRs chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…
