The first part consist mainly of theory and there are no measurement results to support the theory, the second part describes a Matlab simulation of a random walk of a ATTO 647N molecule close to a gold nanorod that is being placed in an electromagnetic field. The simulation uses the MNPBEM toolbox to calculate the electric field generated by the gold nanorod and a random walk for the movement of the molecule.Show less
