Artificial Materials
This book addresses artificial materials including photonic crystals (PC) and metamaterials (MM). A first part is devoted to design concepts: negative permeability and permittivity for negative refraction, periodic structures, transformation optics. The second...
Advanced Optical Materials Issue 1
Issue 1 of Advanced Optical Materials features twelve papers from leading research groups, covering all aspects of light–matter interactions.
Fabrication of Silicon Nanopillars for SERS
A simple two step process was developed to fabricate substrates with flexible free standing nanopillars which exhibit a large and uniform
Raman enhancement.
Perfectly spherical gold nanodroplets produced with smallest-ever nanojets
Using plasmonic hotspots, gold nanostructures can be melted and made to produce the smallest nanojets ever observed.
Nanochemistry: Who Owns It ?
So who owns nanochemistry? Should “all” the credit be given to chemistry pioneers of the past 20-30 years or were the foundations of nanochemistry already laid in the field of colloid chemistry, the origin of which can be traced to a century earlier?
Rogach, Talapin and Shevchenko on 'Organisation of Matter on Different Size Scales'
Prof. Andrey Rogach, Prof. Dmitri Talapin and Dr. Elena Shevchenko look back on 10 exciting years of nanocrystal superstructures.
