Abstract Note
This work??pursues a novel??route to functionalizing large surfaces with hybrid nanoparticles.??It??also casts new light on the combined use??of surface plasmon resonance and X-rays. SPR spectroscopy is??employed to study Au-based plasmonic nanostructures fabricated by novel methods, and a new experimental device??is developed combining SPR with X-ray absorption spectroscopy at a synchrotron beamline. Using the new SPR-XAS setup developed in this??work, the author has??studied in-situ and real-time effects of X-ray irradiation in materials such as glasses and Co-phthalocyanines
