Abstract

Appropriate functional groups adsorbed to the surface of plasmonic nanoparticles provides a platform for localised optical sensing. For example, intracellular pH nanosensors based on surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) have been developed. However, the measurement methods and analysis of pH-S...
