Near-Field Optics of Localized Surface Plasmons

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents an overview of plasmonics investigated by direct imaging of localized plasmons in gold nanoparticles by PSTM. A theoretical background is provided and results about single nanoparticles, 1D and 2D assemblies are presented and discussed. The fabrication of samples by EBL and of probes by etching is described, as well as the analysis of the shear-force tunig-fork distance-sensing mechanism. Several appendices include all the technical details. The book may represent a good starting point in the field for graduate students or young researchers. The students will find here a useful playground for exercising in their fundamental physical knowledge. The researchers will find the background for the variety of progressing nanotechnological applications of plasmon-susceptible metal nanoparticles, from SERS to biomedical assays/sensors, from optical filters to data storage/communication.

Autorenporträt

MS did his MSc in Physics (1993, Pisa) on AFM nano-friction. He worked on neural-network AFM until 1998 (PNB PST-Elba), was postdoc in EC-STM in 2002-2004 (S3-Modena), and then patterned quartz for OLEDs and DFB lasers until 2006 (NNL-Lecce). MS works in iit SPM Lab (Genova) since 2007. His other interests are dental materials and porous alumina.
