Plasmonic Effects

The use of copper, silver, gold and platinum in jewelry as a measure of wealth is well known. This book contains chapters written by international authors on other uses and applications of noble and precious metals (copper, silver, gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, ruthenium, and rhenium).

The investigation of light-matter interactions in materials, especially those on the nanoscale, represents perhaps the most promising avenue for scientific progress in the fields of photonics and plasmonics. This book examines a variety of topics, starting from fundamental principles, leading to the current state of the art research.

This book is intended for a broad audience and provides an overview of some of the fundamental knowledges and applications of nanoplasmonics.

This book examines nonlinear optical effects in nonlinear nanophotonics, plasmonics, and novel materials for nonlinear optics. It discusses different types of plasmonic excitations such as volume plasmons, localized surface plasmons, and surface plasmon polaritons.

This book presents recent achievements related to nanostructured materials (NMs) such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, plasmonic materials, metal nanowires, metal oxides, nanoparticles, metamaterials, nanofibers, and nanocomposites, along with their physical and chemical aspects.

COMSOL has released version 5.6 of its COMSOL Multiphysics software. The new version features faster and more memory-lean solvers for multicore and cluster computations, more efficient CAD assembly handling, and application layout templates.
