From Classical To Quantum Plasmonics In Three And Two Dimensions

From Classical To Quantum Plasmonics In Three And Two Dimensions
Tags: Thomas Christensen

This thesis provides a comprehensive introduction to two active research directions within the field of plasmonics: (i) nonclassical, or quantum, aspects of the plasmonic response; and (ii) two-dimensional plasmonics, a recent innovation in the field stimulated by the advent of two-dimensional materials. It discusses the fundamentals of this field in detail, and explores several current research directions.
