Nanoengineering of optical resonances

The Fano resonance in plasmonic nanostructures and metamaterials

Self-Assembled Plasmonic Nanoparticle Clusters

Optical Nanoengineering Optics and electronics operate at very different length scales. Surface plasmons are light-induced electronic excitations that are being pursued as a rou...

Geometrical Parameters Controlling Sensitivity of Nanoshell Plasmon Resonances to Changes in Dielectric Environment

In this study, we investigate the geometrical parameters that control the sensitivity of the plasmon resonance wavelength of a silica−gold nanoshell to changes in its dielectric...

Nanoshell-mediated near-infrared thermal therapy of tumors under magnetic resonance guidance

Metal nanoshells are a class of nanoparticles with tunable optical resonances. In this article, an application of this technology to thermal ablative therapy for cancer is descr...

A Hybridization Model for the Plasmon Response of Complex Nanostructures

We present a simple and intuitive picture, an electromagnetic analog of molecular orbital theory, that describes the plasmon response of complex nanostructures of arbitrary shap...
