Plasmons as Sensors

Nano, a word derived from the Greek wordνανoς(nanos, which translated denotes “dwarf”), is nowadays a synonym for a whole research area—the nanosciences. One area within this huge research field is nano-optics, where the response of a nanoparticle to an incoming light wave is investigated. In detail, nanoparticles made of noble metals evoke a special interest, since these particles show a strong response to the incoming light wave. This attribute can be explained by the effect that the mentioned light wave excites the electrons in the conduction band to a collective oscillation. If the frequency of the incoming light matches the eigenfrequency of the electron-oscillation, a resonance occurs, which. | Springer Theses Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research For further volumes http www.springer.com series 8790 Aims and Scope The series Springer Theses brings together a selection of the very best Ph.D. theses from around the world and across the physical sciences. Nominated and endorsed by two recognized specialists each published volume has been selected for its scientific excellence and the high impact of its contents for the pertinent field of research. For greater accessibility to non-specialists the published versions include an extended introduction as well as a foreword by the student s supervisor explaining the special relevance of the work for the field. As a whole the series will provide a valuable resource both for newcomers to the research fields described and for other scientists seeking detailed background information on special questions. Finally it provides an accredited documentation of the valuable contributions made by today s younger generation of scientists. Theses are accepted into the series by invited nomination only and must fulfill all of the following criteria They must be written in good English. The topic should fall within the confines of Chemistry Physics Earth Sciences Engineering and related interdisciplinary fields such as Materials Nanoscience Chemical Engineering Complex Systems and Biophysics. The work reported in the thesis must represent a significant scientific advance. If the thesis includes previously published material permission to reproduce this must be gained from the respective copyright holder. They must have been examined and passed during the 12 months prior to nomination. Each thesis should include a foreword by the supervisor outlining the significance of its content. The theses should have a clearly defined structure including an introduction accessible to scientists not expert in that particular field.
