  2. 1. ON THE COUPLING OF THE LOCALIZED PLASMON AND INTERBAND TRANSITIONS IN NICKEL NANOANTENNAS

    Author : Zhaleh Pirzadeh Irannezhad; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Localized surface plasmon resonance; interband transition; nanoantenna; nickel nanoplasmonic; coupling;

    Abstract : Interaction of light with metallic nanostructures smaller than the wavelength leads to excitation of collective oscillations of “free” conduction electrons. This effect leads to locally enhanced electric fields inside and outside the nanoparticle and is called localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). READ MORE

  4. 2. Nanoplasmonic Spectroscopy of Single Nanoparticles Tracking Size and Shape Effects in Pd Hydride Formation

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

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

  5. 3. Active magnetoplasmonics for nanoscale distances sensing

    Author : Irina Zubritskaya; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cobalt; magnetoplasmonics; plasmon ruler; magneto-optical Kerr effect MOKE ; nickel; dimer; localized surface plasmon resonance;

    Abstract : Magnetoplasmonics is an emerging field within nano-photonics that operates with the combination of propagating or localized surface plasmons and magnetism. Active and adaptive magnetoplasmonic components that are capable of controlling light on the nanoscale with external weak magnetic fields are envisioned to push the development of integrated photonic circuits, high-density data storage, or the advanced schemes for bio- and chemo-sensing.

  6. 4. 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;

  7. 5. Plasmonic Nanostructures for Optical Absorption Engineering and Hydrogen Sensing

    Author : Carl Wadell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; photocatalysis; metal hydride; alloy nanoparticles; palladium; absorption engineering; plasmon enhanced chemistry; nanoplasmonic sensing; nanoparticle size effects; localized surface plasmon resonance; 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
