What is it about?
Gold is a noble metal that naturally reflects a yellowish color because its refractive index, and related optical properties. However, when this material is structured at the nanometer scale, additional properties appear (the localized surface plasmons LSP), which give rise to a wide variety of reddish colors.

Why is it important?
The transition between the golden color of gold, the signature of the bulk, and the reddish color of the nanostructures, is a property that depends on the size of the gold nanoparticles. Understanding how this transition occurs provides a tool for precise light control.
