The work led by UMD Prof. Taylor Woehl’s group is published in Matter. Our contributioin consisted of performing the theoretical/modelling analysis of the plasmonic modes excited by an electron beam, and thus, explain the final shape of the the nanoparticles.
This work included the effort of the Physics undergrad Zhenpu Li.
