| contents | Localized surface plasmon resonances are self-sustained, collective oscillations of free electrons in metallic nanostructures. They have a wide range of applications. The most common plasmonic metals are noble metals, such as gold and silver. However, there are applications, such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, in which using non-noble metals is advantageous. This review summarizes the investigation of localized surface plasmons in non-noble metal nanoparticles, providing an overview of the plasmonic properties of non-noble metals. We cover the following metals: aluminium (Al), antimony (Sb), bismuth (Bi), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), gallium (Ga), indium (In), lead (Pb), magnesium (Mg), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), potassium (K), selenium (Se), sodium (Na), tellurium (Te), tin (Sn), titanium (Ti), tungsten (W), and zinc (Zn). Our summary therefore compares the plasmonic properties of non-noble metals and briefly introduces their potential to the readers. |
