The ability to control the color, or emission wavelength, of light from quantum sources is central to the development of secure quantum communication networks and photonic-based computing. However, most systems capable of ...
A research team affiliated with the Nano Optics Group within the Department of Physics at UNIST has announced the successful implementation of a plasmonic structure capable of precisely adjusting nanometer-sized gaps in response ...
In a recent study, a research team developed a novel method to synthesize multifunctional composite particles. These particles can single-handedly accomplish many essential functions for water remediation. The study was published ...
Metals, as most know them, are good conductors of electricity. That's because the countless electrons in a metal like gold or silver move more or less freely from one atom to the next, their motion impeded only by occasional ...
When light interacts with metallic nanostructures, it instantaneously generates plasmonic hot carriers, which serve as key intermediates for converting optical energy into high-value energy sources such as electricity and ...
The conversion of CO2 into e-fuels by light offers a sustainable solution to close the carbon cycle. Researchers at the Laboratory for Nanometallurgy have pioneered an innovative approach to plasmon-assisted catalytic CO2 ...
A research group recently discovered the disappearance of nonreciprocal second harmonic generation (SHG) in MnPSe₃ when integrated into a two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnetic MnPSe₃/graphene heterojunction.
In April 1982, Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry: the quasiperiodic crystal. According to diffraction measurements ...
Attosecond time-resolved experiments have revealed the increasing importance of electronic correlations in the collective plasmon response as the size of the system decreases to sub-nm scales.
