Title: “Fundamentals of Plasmonics and Design of Metallic Nanostructures for Plasmon-Enhanced Applications”
Abstract: Light interaction with plasmonic (metallic) nanostructures opens up new and interesting physical phenomena on the nanoscale. Recent experimental evidence suggests that these nanostructures can be utilized in a broad range of applications including solar energy harvesting, sensing, and biomedical applications; however, the development of theoretical models based on fundamental physics is absolutely necessary in order to guide the rapid development of these nanostructures for broader use. In this introductory presentation I will speak about some of the current research projects in the area of plasmon-assisted nanophotonics being carried out in the newly established Computational Physics Lab in the Department of Computer Science and Mathematics at Nipissing.
