Surface plasmon resonance

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011657",
  "term": "Surface plasmon resonance",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A phenomenon involving the resonant excitation of surface plasmons by incident light, typically at a metal-dielectric interface. This resonance occurs at a specific angle of incidence or wavelength, leading to a sharp dip in the reflected light intensity. It is widely used in biosensing for label-free detection of molecular binding events.",
