Near-infrared II plasmonic porous cubic nanoshells for in vivo noninvasive SERS visualization of sub-millimeter microtumors
Abstract
In vivo surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging allows non-invasive visualization of tumours for biomedical applications. Here, the authors report porous cubic AuAg alloy nanoshells exhibiting plasmonic properties and porosity-dependant SERS in the second window of the near-infrared for in vivo tumour detection.
