The plasmonic cores of these materials exhibit unique optical properties due to the presence of surface plasmons, which are generated by the nature of the metallic bond. This bond can be defined as a "sea of free electrons" that traverse the condensed lattice of metal cations. When these electrons are excited by light, they oscillate on the surface of the metal. At the nanoscale, the confinement of the electrons plays a key role in the excitation of these plasmons, allowing this oscillation to be tuned for excitation with visible or infrared light, depending on factors such as chemical composition, size, shape, the presence of stabilizing agents on the surface, or the surrounding dielectric environment. This oscillation presents an absorption maximum known as localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), which generates electric dipoles in specific regions of the nanoparticle that can be exploited in various applications.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/MOFsplasmonicsnanocompositesnanomaterials221102 Materiales compuestos221105 Estructura cristalinadoctoral thesisopen access
