1. Effects of surface plasmons in subwavelength metallic structures
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
2. Thermal and Photon Stimulated Reactions on Metal Particles
Sammanfattning : The interaction between molecules and solid surfaces influence our daily lives in many ways. One important example is heterogeneous catalysis where surface reactions, for example, are used for production of chemicals and exhaust after-treatment. LÄS MER
3. Thermal and Photon Driven Reactions of NO and H2O Adsorbed on Graphite
Sammanfattning : The topic of this thesis is the interaction of water (H2O) and nitric oxide (NO) with the graphite (C(0001)) surface. Specifically the effects of coadsorbing metals (Na, Ag) and subjecting the adsorption systems to thermal and photon activation were studied. LÄS MER
4. Resonant Interactions Between Nanoparticle Plasmons and Molecular Excitons
Sammanfattning : Molecular plasmonics involves the study and applications of plasmonic metal nanostructures interacting with molecules. It has been a basis for development of fundamental understandings of light-matter interactions as well as of new technologies, including biological and chemical sensors and plasmon-enhanced spectroscopies.

5. Interactions Between Localized Surface Plasmons and Molecular Resonances
Sammanfattning : 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.
