The interaction of light with subwavelength metallic nano-structures is at the heart of different
current scientific hot topics, namely plasmonics, metamaterials and nanoantennas …

Light emitters or scatterers embedded in stratified media may couple energy to both free-
space modes and guided modes of the stratified structure. For a comprehensive analysis, it …

Gallium has recently been demonstrated as a phase-change plasmonic material offering UV
tunability, facile synthesis, and a remarkable stability due to its thin, self-terminating native …

We fabricate and characterize large-area plasmonic substrates that feature asymmetric
periodic nanostructures made of aluminum. Strong coupling between localized and …

Specially designed plasmonic antennas can, by far-field interference of different antenna
elements or a combination of multipolar antenna modes, scatter light unidirectionally …

Dark, nonradiating plasmonic modes are important in the Raman enhancement efficiency of
nanostructures. However, it is challenging to engineer such hotspots with predictable …

Similar to nanoparticles, nanoscale holes form a basic building block in a wide array of
