Localized surface plasmon resonances in noble metal nanoparticles cause enhanced optical absorption and scattering that is tunable through the visible and near-infrared. Furthermore, these resonances create large local electric field enhancements at the nanoparticle surfaces, essentially focussing light at the nanometer scale. These properties suggest a range of applications, including biomedical imaging, therapeutics, and molecular sensing. Here we review some recent advances regarding shape-dependent optical properties of two specific nanoparticle geometries: gold nanorods and branched gold nanoparticles.
