Produktbeschreibung

This book starts with the general physics of surface plasmons and a brief introduction of the most prominent research topics, followed by computational techniques for light scattering by small particles. Then, a few special topics are highlighted, including surface-enhanced Raman scattering, optical nanoantennas, optical force, plasmonic waveguides and circuits, and gain-assisted plasmon resonances and propagation. The book also discusses the fundamental and representative properties and research in this field, which can help graduate students and researchers get a quick introduction to this field.

Autorenporträt

Anne-Marie Caminade is director of research (exceptional class) at the CNRS in Toulouse, France, and head of the Dendrimers and Heterochemistry research group. Her current research interest is in dendrimers. She has authored or coauthored more than 430 articles in peer-reviewed journals (including around 380 articles on dendrimers), 40 book chapters, 1 book, and 15 patents and has participated in 150 invited conferences. Cédric-Olivier Turrin is a CNRS research scientist at the Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination, Toulouse, France. His research interests are focused on the design of hyperbranched phosphorus-containing architectures, including dendrimers, and their uses in biomedicine and nanosciences. Jean-Pierre Majoral is emeritus director of research at the CNRS in Toulouse. His current research interest is focused on the design and properties of phosphorus dendrimers in nanomedicine, materials sciences, and catalysis. He is a member of several academies of sciences worldwide, cofounder of the company Dendris, and an author of more than 610 publications, 5 books, 28 book chapters, and 40 patents.
