Abstract

The light scattering properties of hexagonal and triangular gold nanodisks were investigated by means of Cytoviva hyperspectral dark-field microscopy, exploring the huge enhancement of the scattered waves associated with the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect. Thanks to the high resolution capability of the dark-field microscope, the SPR effect turned it possible to probe the individual nanoparticles directly from their hyperspectral images, extrapolating the classical optical resolution limit, and providing their corresponding extinction spectra. Blue spectral shifts involving the in-plane dipolar modes were observed for the hexagonal gold nanodisks in relation to the triangular ones, allowing their spectroscopic differentiation in the dark-field images.
