Surface-enhanced Raman scattering measurement from a lipid bilayer encapsulating a single decahedral nanoparticle mediated by an optical trap (2016)
Journal Article
Wright, A. J., Richens, J. L., Bramble, J., Cathcart, N., Kitaev, V., O'Shea, P., & Hudson, A. (in press). Surface-enhanced Raman scattering measurement from a lipid bilayer encapsulating a single decahedral nanoparticle mediated by an optical trap. Nanoscale, 8(36), https://doi.org/10.1039/C6NR05616D

We present a new technique for the study of model membranes on the length-scale of a single nanosized liposome. Silver decahedral nanoparticles have been encapsulated by a model unilamellar lipid bilayer creating nano-sized lipid vesicles. The metal...

Investigating the use of a hybrid plasmonic-photonic nanoresonator for optical trapping using finite-difference time-domain method (2016)
Journal Article
Mossayebi, M., Wright, A., Parini, A., Somekh, M., Bellanca, G., & Larkins, E. (2016). Investigating the use of a hybrid plasmonic-photonic nanoresonator for optical trapping using finite-difference time-domain method. Optical and Quantum Electronics, 48(5), doi:10.1007/s11082-016-0539-5

We investigate the use of a hybrid nanoresonator comprising a photonic crystal (PhC) cavity coupled to a plasmonic bowtie nanoantenna (BNA) for the optical trapping of nanoparticles in water. Using finite-difference time-domain simulations, we show t...
