Offering both a comprehensive introduction to the field and an extensive overview of the current state of the art  \"Plasmonics: Fundamentals and Applications\" should be of great value to the newcomer and to the experienced researcher. The first part of the book describes the fundamentals of this research area  starting with a review of Maxwells equations in a form suited to the description of metals. Subsequent chapters introduce the two major ingredients of plasmonics  surface plasmon polaritons at metallic interfaces and localized plasmons in nanostructures. The mathematics of their description  excitation and imaging of the modes are discussed. This part closes with a presentation of electromagnetic surface waves at lower frequencies in the THz and microwave regime  comprising both spoof or designer plasmons and surface phonon polaritons.  Building on the fundamentals  the second part discusses some of the most prominent applications of plasmons: Plasmon waveguides  extraordinary transmission through aperture arrays  sensing and surface enhanced Raman scattering  spectroscopy as well as metamaterials. Exemplary studies in each of these fields taken from the original literature are presented.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651930939445,"sku":"ByrdShop_0387331506","price":211.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780387331508.jpg?v=1781845808","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/plasmonics-fundamentals-and-applications-9780387331508","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
