title: Real-time monitoring of the aging of single plasmonic copper nanoparticles.
abstract: We demonstrate that the continuous real-time monitoring of the growth and surface oxidation process of single Cu nanoparticles (NPs) on an indium-tin oxide (ITO) substrate by dark-field microscopy (DFM) and plasmon resonance Rayleigh scattering (PRRS) spectroscopy is possible.
