1. Nanoparticle Plasmons in Classic and Novel Materials - Fundamentals and Hydrogen Sensing
Abstract : The interaction of light with sub-wavelength noble metal nanoparticles and nanostructures has developed into one of the most vibrant themes of nanoscience during the past decade. The optical properties of metal nanoparticles are dominated by so-called nanoparticle plasmons or localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR). READ MORE

2. Nanoparticle plasmonics for solar cell applications
Abstract : The energy demand of society increases rapidly, while the main source of today’s energy, the fossil fuels, eventually will be depleted and also poses environmental and climate hazards (though the global warming). Therefore there is a need for alternative, renewable energy sources, and solar photovoltaics (solar cells) will play an important role as one of them. READ MORE

3. Kinetic Measurements Using Nanoplasmonic Sensing
Abstract : In this thesis the nanoplasmonic sensing technique was used to study kinetics of (i) the oxidation of Al nanoparticles in air and water and (ii) the solid-liquid phase transition in Sn nanoparticles. The nanoplasmonic sensing technique detects changes of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in metal nanoparticles. READ MORE

4. Optical Imaging and Spectroscopy of Metal Nanostructures
Abstract : Noble metal structures with size in the sub 100 nm range exhibit extraordinary optical properties due to collective oscillations of conduction electrons, the surface plasmon resonances (SPR). The most remarkable feature of these structures is the ability to redistribute electromagnetic radiation and concentrate strong fields near the surface. READ MORE

5. Plasmonic Nanostructures for Optical Absorption Engineering and Hydrogen Sensing
Abstract : Nanoplasmonics concerns the interactions between light and metal nanoparticles. In this thesis nanoplasmonics is used in two different ways: i) to control and enhance light absorption, and ii) for optical hydrogen sensing. READ MORE
