Figure 2From: Optimized gold nanoshell ensembles for biomedical applicationsOptimal lognormal distributions of core radius and shell thickness in an ensemble of hollow gold nanoshells exhibiting maximum average [(a) and (b)] absorption and [(c) and (d)] scattering efficiencies for σ =σ R = σ H =0.1 , 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0. The simulation parameters are the same as in Figures 1(a) and 1(b).Back to article page
