Nanomaterials have been extensively studied in cancer therapy as vectors that may improve
drug delivery. Such vectors not only bring numerous advantages such as stability …

This review provides a broad overview of the studies and effects of nonlocal response in
metallic nanostructures. In particular, we thoroughly present the nonlocal hydrodynamic …

The physical properties of metals change when their dimensions are reduced to the nano-
scale and new phenomena such as the localized surface-plasmon resonance (LSPR) …

The standard hydrodynamic Drude model with hard-wall boundary conditions can give
accurate quantitative predictions for the optical response of noble-metal nanoparticles …

Plasmonic phenomena in metals are commonly explored within the framework of classical
electrodynamics and semiclassical models for the interactions of light with free-electron …

Electromagnetic cavity modes in photonic and plasmonic resonators offer rich and attractive
regimes for tailoring the properties of light–matter interactions, yet there is a disturbing lack …

Nano optics combines the research areas of optics and nanoscience. Through light we
acquire information about the world around us, and the controlled manipulation of light forms …

Inspired by recent measurements on individual metallic nanospheres that cannot be
explained with traditional classical electrodynamics, we theoretically investigate the effects …

Quantum plasmonics is an exciting subbranch of nanoplasmonics where the laws of
quantum theory are used to describe light-matter interactions on the nanoscale. Plasmonic …

The optical properties of metallic nanoparticles with nanometre dimensions exhibit features
that cannot be described by classical electrodynamics. In this quantum size regime, the near …
