On the optical properties of copper nanocubes as a function of the edge length as modeled by the discrete dipole approximation

► Advances in the shape-controlled synthesis of Cu nanocrystals have been reported. ► As Ag and Au, Cu also supports surface plasmon resonances in the visible range. ► How do the optical properties of Cu nanocubes vary with edge length? ► How could these results contribute for enabling their plasmonic applications?
