Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plasmonics is a rapidly developing field that combines fundamental research and applications ranging from areas such as physics to engineering, chemistry, biology, medicine, food sciences, and the environmental sciences. Plasmonics appeared in the 1950s with the discovery of surface plasmon polaritons. Plasmonics then went through a novel propulsion in the mid-1970s, when surface-enhanced Raman scattering was discovered. Nevertheless, it is in this last decade that a very significant explosion of plasmonics and its applications has occurred. Thus, this book provides a snapshot of the current advances in these various areas of plasmonics and its applications, such as engineering, sensing, surface-enhanced fluorescence, catalysis, and photovoltaic devices.

Download or read book Plasmonics in Semiconductors written by Jan Chochol and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis establishes a mathematical, physical and experimental framework for description, characterization, and application of semiconductor plasmonic properties. Plasmonic phenomena in semiconductors are found in the Terahertz and far-infrared domain, where they have the potential to improve sensors or be the basis of novel devices. III-V semiconductor samples (GaAs, InP, InSb, and InAs) with various doping were analyzed spectroscopically in broad spectral range. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy together with Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy were used for characterization of the free carrier (plasmonic) and lattice (phononic) optical properties of the samples. The Drude-Lorentz model was used to describe these properties, with the addition of magneto-optical (MO) effects. High mobility semiconductors (InSb and InAs) exhibit huge free carrier magneto-optical effect for small external magnetic field. These measurements were compared to electric Hall effect measurement using Van der Pauw method. Based on the spectroscopic and MO characterization of the samples, the applicability of semiconductor as plasmonic materials is discussed. Huge advantage of semiconductors is the tunability their plasmonic properties. Three methods of controlling the plasmonic behavior of semiconductors were analyzed: Shifting of plasma frequency to higher frequencies by increasing of n-type doping concentration. Modification of the material permittivity (conductivity) tensor spectra by the external magnetic field. Shifting of plasmonic resonance by generation of nanogratings in the material, either by carrier concentration modulation by interference light illumination (sinusoidal grating) or by lithography (lamellar grating). The effective medium approximation of nanogratings was verified using Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis. An experimental application of widely tunable THz surface plasmon resonance sensor on semiconductors is presented. Generation of surface plasmon polariton at the interface between undoped InSb(InAs) and dielectric is experimentally demonstrated. This sensor has the added functionality of strong magnetic tuning. The applicability of this sensor is discussed, along with analysis of different sensor architecture.
Download or read book Active Plasmonic Devices written by Diana Martín Becerra and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the effect of the magnetic field on propagating surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), or surface plasmons for short. Above all, it focuses on using the magnetic field as an external agent to modify the properties of the SPPs, and therefore achieving active devices. Surface plasmons are evanescent waves that arise at metal–dielectric interfaces. They can be strongly confined (beyond the light diffraction limit), and provide a strong enhancement of the electromagnetic field at the interface. These waves have led to the development of plasmonic circuitry, which is a key candidate as an alternative to electronic circuitry and traditional optical telecommunication devices, since it is faster than the former and less bulky than the latter. Adopting both a theoretical and an experimental point of view, the book analyzes the magnetic modulation in SPPs by means of an interferometer engraved in a multilayer combining Au and Co. In this interferometer, which acts like a modulator, the SPP magnetic modulation is studied in detail, as are the parameters that have a relevant impact on it, simple ways to enhance it, its spectral dependence, and the highly promising possibility of using this system for biosensing. The thesis ultimately arrives at the conclusion that this method can provide values of modulations similar to other active methods used in plasmonics.

Download or read book Plasmonics in Chemistry and Biology written by Marc Lamy de la Chapelle and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-05-13 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, plasmonic nanoparticles have been the subject of extensive research, owing to their remarkable optical properties. These properties arise from a collective oscillation of the conductive electrons at the nanoparticle surface under light irradiation, known as localized surface plasmon (LSP). LSP is characterized by (i) a strong absorption and scattering of the light depending on the geometrical parameters of the nanoparticles and (ii) a strong amplification of the local field in the vicinity of the nanoparticles. Quite recently, it was shown that the activation and the initiation of chemical reactions or physical processes can be facilitated using LSP excitation. Such exploitation presents two main advantages: an enhanced yield and a fine control of chemical reactions at the nanoscale. These topics have become very active and are in line with molecular plasmonics. This book explores this new field and provides a broad view on the exploitation of plasmonics in chemical and biological fields.

Download or read book Canonical Problems in the Theory of Plasmonics written by Afshin Moradi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a systemic and self-contained guide to the theoretical description of the fundamental properties of plasmonic waves. The field of plasmonics is built on the interaction of electromagnetic radiation and conduction electrons at metallic interfaces or in metallic nanostructures, and so to describe basic plasmonic behavior, boundary-value problems may be formulated and solved using electromagnetic wave theory based on Maxwell’s equations and the electrostatic approximation. In preparation, the book begins with the basics of electromagnetic and electrostatic theories, along with a review of the local and spatial nonlocal plasma model of an electron gas. This is followed by clear and detailed boundary value analysis of both classical three-dimensional and novel two-dimensional plasmonic systems in a range of different geometries. With only general electromagnetic theory as a prerequisite, this resulting volume will be a useful entry point to plasmonic theory for students, as well as a convenient reference work for researchers who want to see how the underlying models can be analysed rigorously.
