6. Fabrication and Characterization of Plasmonic Nanophotonic Absorbers and Waveguides
Sammanfattning : Plasmonics is a promising field of nanophotonics dealing with light interaction with metallic nanostructures. In such material systems, hybridizationof photons and collective free-electron oscillation can result in sub-wavelength light confinement. LÄS MER
7. Interfacial Analysis and Charge Transfer in Solar Cells
Sammanfattning : Harnessing sunlight through solar cells is vital for sustainable energy production. The conventional architecture of a solar cell consists of multilayers of materials, each serving a particular function. The absorbing layer converts the solar energy into valuable electricity by the photovoltaic effect. LÄS MER
8. Theoretical studies of light propagation in photonic and plasmonic devices
Sammanfattning : Photonics nowadays is one of the most rapidly developing areas of modern physics. Photonic chips are considered to be promising candidates for a new generation of high-performance systems for informational technology, as the photonic devices provide much higher information capacity in comparison to conventional electronics.

9. 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
10. Optical manipulation and heating of gold nanoparticles near interfaces
Sammanfattning : By focusing laser light to small volumes, its momentum can be used to trap and manipulate objects in the size range from cells down to single atoms. Devices using this effect are called optical tweezers, and have found use in measuring and applying minuscule forces and torques, contributed to deepening our knowledge of molecular motors, unraveling the mechanics of cells and DNA, and better understand statistical mechanics and hydrodynamic interactions at the nanoscale.
