Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles that can be manipulated with magnetic fields are of interest for advanced optical applications, diagnostics, imaging, and therapy. Alignment of gold nanorods yields strong polarization-dependent extinction, and use of magnetic fields is appealing because they act through space and can be quickly switched. In this work, cationic polyethyleneimine-functionalized superparamagnetic Fe3 O4 nanoparticles (NPs) are deposited on the surface of anionic gold nanorods coated with bovine serum albumin. The magnetic gold nanorods (MagGNRs) obtained through mixing maintain the distinct optical properties of plasmonic gold nanorods that are minimally perturbed by the magnetic overcoating. Magnetic alignment of the MagGNRs arising from magnetic dipolar interactions on the anisotropic gold nanorod core is comprehensively characterized, including structural characterization and enhancement (suppression) of the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance and suppression (enhancement) of the transverse surface plasmon resonance for light polarized parallel (orthogonal) to the magnetic field. The MagGNRs can also be driven in rotating magnetic fields to rotate at frequencies of at least 17 Hz. For suitably large gold nanorods (148 nm long) and Fe3 O4 NPs (13.4 nm diameter), significant alignment is possible even in modest (<500 Oe) magnetic fields. An analytical model provides a unified understanding of the magnetic alignment of MagGNRs.

Abstract
We report the successful synthesis and a complete magnetic characterization of CoFe2O4@SiO2@Au magnetoplasmonic nanoparticles. The CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles were prepared using the hydrothermal method. A subsequent SiO2 shell followed by a plasmonic Au shell were deposited on the magnetic core creating magnetoplasmonic nanoparticles with a core–shell architecture. A spin-glass-type magnetism was shown at the surface of the CoFe2O4 nanograins. Depending on the external magnetic field, two types of spin-glass were identified and analyzed in correlation with the exchange field acting on octahedral and tetrahedral iron sites. The magnetization per formula unit of the CoFe2O4 core is not changed in the case of CoFe2O4@SiO2@Au nanocomposites. The gold nanoparticles creating the plasmonic shell show a giant diamagnetic susceptibility, dependent on their crystallite sizes.

Magnetic-plasmonic heterodimer nanostructures synergistically present excellent magnetic and plasmonic characteristics in a unique platform as a multipurpose medium for recently invented biomedical applications, such as magnetic hyperthermia, photothermal therapy, drug delivery, bioimaging, and biosensing. In this review, we briefly outline the less-known aspects of heterodimers, including electronic composition, interfacial morphology, critical properties, and present concrete examples of recent progress in synthesis and applications. With a focus on emerging features and performance of heterodimers in biomedical applications, this review provides a comprehensive perspective of novel achievements and suggests a fruitful framework for future research.

Abstract
We investigate percolation in mixtures of nanorods in the presence of external fields that align or disalign the particles with the field axis. Such conditions are found in the formulation and processing of nanocomposites, where the field may be electric, magnetic, or due to elongational flow. Our focus is on the effect of length polydispersity, which-in the absence of a field-is known to produce a percolation threshold that scales with the inverse weight average of the particle length. Using a model of non-interacting spherocylinders in conjunction with connectedness percolation theory, we show that a quadrupolar field always increases the percolation threshold and that the universal scaling with the inverse weight average no longer holds if the field couples to the particle length. Instead, the percolation threshold becomes a function of higher moments of the length distribution, where the order of the relevant moments crucially depends on the strength and type of field applied. The theoretical predictions compare well with the results of our Monte Carlo simulations, which eliminate finite size effects by exploiting the fact that the universal scaling of the wrapping probability function holds even in anisotropic systems. Theory and simulation demonstrate that the percolation threshold of a polydisperse mixture can be lower than that of the individual components, confirming recent work based on a mapping onto a Bethe lattice as well as earlier computer simulations involving dipole fields. Our work shows how the formulation of nanocomposites may be used to compensate for the adverse effects of aligning fields that are inevitable under practical manufacturing conditions.

Abstract
Pure metallic copper nanoparticles free of any substrate were synthesized by the thermo-chemical reduction of copper acetate using triethanolamine as a reducing-cum-protection agent. The structure and physical and magnetic properties of the Cu NPs were analysed physicochemically. Microscopic analysis reveals the formation of particles of size of 3-5 nm as seen by TEM but present as a large agglomeration as identified by SEM. A structure of Cu9 is predicted for the Cu NPs on the basis of investigations using XPS, MALDI, EPR, and magnetic measurements and supported by the prediction of DFT calculation from an earlier work. The most important findings come from magnetization studies which prove the existence of giant diamagnetism from the nanomer clusters of copper as well as the formation of two different ferromagnetic transitions at ∼40 K and ∼100 K, the latter two arising from the surface properties possibly due to thin films of CuO and/or the presence of TEOA giving rise to temperature dependent coercivity revealing them to be soft room temperature ferromagnets. The clusters of Cu NPs with the identified structure show temperature and field dependent giant diamagnetism which is about 29-39 times larger than the diamagnetism calculated from known and established atomic values. Though such enhanced diamagnetism has been predicted for noble metal clusters, experimental observation so far has been restricted to Au and Pt and this is probably the first report on substrate-free metallic copper clusters.

Abstract
Anisotropic nanoparticles have fascinated scientists and engineering communities for over a century because of their unique physical and chemical properties. In recent years, continuous advances in design and fabrication of anisotropic nanoparticles have opened new avenues for application in various areas of biology, chemistry and physics. Anisotropic nanoparticles have the plasmon absorption in the visible as well as near-infrared (NIR) region, which enables them to be used for crucial applications such as biological imaging, medical diagnostics and therapy ("theranostics"). Here, we describe the progress in anisotropic nanoparticles achieved since the millennium in the area of preparation including various shapes and modification of the particle surface, and in areas of application by providing examples of applications in biosensing, bio-imaging, drug delivery and theranostics. Furthermore, we also explain various mechanisms involved in cellular uptake of anisotropic nanoparticles, and conclude with our opinion on various obstacles that limit their applications in biomedical field. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Anisotropy at the molecular level has always fascinated scientists and engineering communities for over a century, however, the research on novel methods through which shape and size of nanoparticles can be precisely controlled has opened new avenues for anisotropic nanoparticles in various areas of biology, chemistry and physics. In this manuscript, we describe progress achieved since the millennium in the areas of preparation of various shapes of anisotropic nanoparticles, investigate various methods involved in modifying the surface of these NPs, and provide examples of applications in biosensing and bio-imaging, drug delivery and theranostics. We also present mechanisms involved in cellular uptake of nanoparticles, describe different methods of preparation of anisotropic nanoparticles including biomimetic and photochemical synthesis, and conclude with our opinion on various obstacles that limit their applications in biomedical field.

Abstract
We studied spontaneously self-assembled aggregates in a suspension of CdSe/CdS core/shell nanorods (NRs). The influence of the length and concentration of the NRs and the suspension temperature on the size of the aggregates was investigated using in situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and linear dichroism (LD) measurements under high magnetic fields (up to 30 T). The SAXS patterns reveal the existence of crystalline 2-dimensional sheets of ordered NRs with an unusually large distance between the rods. The LD measurements show that the size of the sheets depends on the free-energy driving force for NR self-assembly. More precisely, the sheets are larger if the attraction between NRs is stronger, if the temperature is lower, or if the NR concentration is higher. We show that the formation of large NR sheets is a slow process that can take days. Our in situ results of the structures that spontaneously form in the bulk suspension could further our understanding of NR self-assembly into mono- or multilayer superlattices that occurs at the suspension/air interface upon evaporation of the solvent.

Abstract
Gold nanorods with dimensions around 10-100 nm present original optical properties. Their main advantages are the tunability from 600 to 1000 nm of their main absorption band, and its high intensity, stemming from the good conducting properties of gold in this spectral range. Gold nanorods have been applied to tracking, probing, sensing, and manipulation experiments. Here, we discuss experiments done with single gold nanorods with emphasis on recent results from our group.
