The growth of plasmonics has been greatly aided by the creation of novel ways for creating metallic nanostructures and a large deal of work on the creation of numerical algorithms to cope with arbitrarily shaped metallic nanostructures.

A higher sensitivity of about 370 nm/RIU, which is significantly higher than that of other metallic Nanostar (NS), is seen after adjusting the size and number of arms.

By changing the size and quantity of the Al NS's arms, we were able to compare the refractive index sensitivity parameter. The bigger size NS exhibits more peaks due to the contribution of the multipole; however, after tuning a number of parameters, better sensitivity in comparison to Au and Ag nanostar has been attained.

In the present study, the synthesized TiO2 nanotubes (TNT) from Ti-6Al-4V alloy, which were left unattended and exposed to environmental conditions (i.e., humidity and ambient temperature) for more than 4 years, were investigated to underline any important alteration/changes and ageing effects, on the surface morphology, the surface composition, and the electrochemical behaviour.\u0000The nanotubes were made in 2018 by anodization in different potentials (20V, 40V, 50V, and 60V) for different times (30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 150 min and 180 min) in an Ethylene Glycol solution for other purposes.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000For the surface morphology characterisation, electronic microscopy (SEM) was performed to depict any tendency with anodization conditions: potential and time.
