Light, Plasmonics and Particles cover

This resource explores the science and engineering of light scattering and localized plasmonics, providing essential insights for graduate students and professionals.

The book Light, Plasmonics and Particles delves into the essential science and engineering applications surrounding light scattering by various particles, aerosols, and hydrosols, along with the concept of localized plasmonics. Designed to serve as a comprehensive resource for both graduate students and professionals in materials science, engineering, and related fields of physics and chemistry, this text provides a self-contained exploration of its subject matter. It not only covers fundamental concepts but also offers in-depth discussions on various numerical models, experimental systems, and practical applications.

To foster the development of innovative devices and processes, a deeper understanding of light-matter interactions is crucial. This understanding hinges on grasping the phenomena of electromagnetic waves, particularly how they are absorbed and scattered by objects of different sizes and shapes. The book emphasizes the importance of these interactions in advancing technologies and applications, making it an invaluable resource for those looking to push the boundaries of current knowledge.

Moreover, Light, Plasmonics and Particles addresses the complexities of wave tunneling, which is influenced by electron and lattice vibrations, as well as thermal fluctuations. These concepts are vital for enhancing near-field energy transfer mechanisms, ultimately contributing to the development of future energy harvesting devices and sensors. This book is a significant step toward bridging theoretical knowledge and practical application in the field.
