When metal nanoparticles are arranged in an ordered array, they may scatter light to
produce diffracted waves. If one of the diffracted waves then propagates in the plane of the …

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) that
results in resonant absorption, scattering, and near field enhancement around the NC can …

In the last two decades, plasmon resonance in gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) has been the
subject of intense research efforts. Plasmon physics is intriguing and its precise modelling …

A comprehensive and updated overview of the theory, algorithms and applications of for
electromagnetic inverse scattering problems Offers the recent and most important advances …

Recent years have seen a growing interest in using metal nanostructures to control
