Freshwater scarcity is a vital societal challenge related to climate change, population
pressure, and agricultural and industrial demands. Therefore, sustainable desalination …

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 …

Optical sensors are widely used for refractive index measurement in chemical, biomedical,
and food processing industries. Due to specific field distribution of the resonances, optical …

Low-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) materials can harness tightly confined polaritonic
waves to deliver unique advantages for nanophotonic biosensing. The reduced …

Label-free optical biosensing holds great promise for a variety of applications in biomedical
diagnostics, environmental and food safety, and security. It is already used as a key tool in …

We present the science and technology roadmap for graphene, related two-dimensional
crystals, and hybrid systems, targeting an evolution in technology, that might lead to impacts …

The development of highly-sensitive miniaturized sensors that allow real-time quantification
of analytes is highly desirable in medical diagnostics, veterinary testing, food safety, and …

This book is meant as an introduction to graphene plasmonics and aims at the advanced
undergraduate and graduate students entering the field of plasmonics in graphene. In it …

Two-dimensional metal organic framework (2D MOF Cu-TCPP) with significantly enhanced
photoelectric properties was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The π-stacked …

The nitrides of most of the group IVb-Vb-VIb transition metals (TiN, ZrN, HfN, VN, NbN, TaN,
MoN, WN) constitute the unique category of conductive ceramics. Having substantial …
