Nanoplasmonics

This second volume in the Handai Nanophotonics book series covers the area of nanophotonics, and nanotechnology is the bio- and medical sciences. The interaction between photons and metal nanostructures leads to interesting and nano materials. Newly discovered physical phenomena, including local mode of surface, plasmon polariton excited in nanoparticles, hot spots on nano-rods and nano-cones, long range of surface plasmons excited on thin metal films, and the dispersion of the bandgas of surface plasmons in periodic metal structures. Nano-imaging / spectroscopy, photon accumulation for lasing applications, optical nano-waveguides and nano-circuits.

* interdisciplinary research text on the application of nanoplasmonics research and effects in devices for applications
* bridges the gap between conventional photophysics & photochemistry and nanoscience
* continuing the series that focuses on 'hot' areas of photochemistry, optics, material science and bioscience.
