1. Plasmons in Nanostructured Graphene
Abstract : Plasmons, collective electron density oscillations, provide physicists with intriguing challenges and possibilities. The inherent many-body properties of the plasmons together with their ability to localize light into small volumes make the plasmons interesting from both a purely theoretical viewpoint and an applications point of view.

2. Interactions Between Localized Surface Plasmons and Molecular Resonances
Abstract : Molecular plasmonics is the study of interactions between plasmonic nanostructures and molecules. It has been basis for fundamental understanding of light-matter interactions and development of many technological applications, such as biological and chemical sensing, plasmon-enhanced spectroscopies, optical switches, and plasmon-enhanced energy harvesting.

3. Dispersion Engineering : Negative Refraction and Designed Surface Plasmons in Periodic Structures
Abstract : The dispersion property of periodic structures is a hot research topic in the last decade. By exploiting dispersion properties, one can manipulate the propagation of electromagnetic waves, and produce effects that do not exist in conventional materials. READ MORE

4. Effects of surface plasmons in subwavelength metallic structures
Abstract : The study of optical phenomena related to the strong electromagnetic response of noble metals (silver (Ag) and gold (Au) being most popular) over the last couple of decades has led to the emergence of a fast growing research area called plasmonics named after 'surface plasmons' which are electron density waves that propagate along the interface of a metal and a dielectric medium. Surface plasmons are formed by the coupling of light to the electrons on the metal surface subject to the fulfillment of certain physical conditions and they are bound to the metal surface. READ MORE

5. Free Metal Clusters Studied by Photoelectron Spectroscopy
Abstract : Clusters are aggregates of a finite number of atoms or molecules. In the present work, free clusters out of metallic parent materials have been created and studied by synchrotron radiation-based photoelectron spectroscopy. The clusters have been formed and studied in a beam and the electronic structure of the clusters has been investigated. READ MORE
