  4. 2. Tinkering with Light at the Nanoscale using Plasmonic Metasurfaces and Antennas: From Fano to Function

    Author : Mikael Svedendahl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biosensing; Fano resonances; metamaterials; Surface plasmons;

    Abstract : Surface plasmons are charge density oscillations that can couple strongly to light and be excited in, for instance, thin metal films and metal nanoparticles. The plasmonic excitation squeezes the light down to nanometric length scales, far smaller than the wavelength of the light. READ MORE

  6. 4. Graphene FET terahertz detectors on flexible substrates

    Author : Xinxin Yang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sensors; THz detectors; flexible electronics; 2D materials; Graphene; field-effect transistors; plastic substrates.;

    Abstract : Terahertz (THz) science and technology have developed rapidly over the past decades, extending the THz application areas from spectroscopy and earth and space sciences to communications, biomedicine and security sensing. Many of these emerging applications require shape-conforming, light-weight and low-cost detectors rather than existing solid-state detection technology. READ MORE

  7. 5. Plasmonic Nanospectrocopy of Individual Nanoparticles - Studies of Metal-Hydrogen Interactions and Catalysis

    Author : Svetlana Alekseeva; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; grain boundary; metal-hydrogen interactions; plasmonic sensors; single particle spectroscopy; palladium nanoparticles and nanocrystals; localized surface plasmon resonance; hole-mask colloidal lithography; nanocatalysts; shrinking-hole colloidal lithography; plasmonic nanospectroscopy; dark field scattering spectroscopy; nanoscale effects;

    Abstract : Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is the phenomenon of collective oscillation of conduction electrons in metal nanoparticles smaller than the wavelength of light used for the excitation. Plasmonic metal nanoparticles are able to confine light to extremely small volumes around them, i.e. below the diffraction limit. READ MORE
