Fano resonance in nanoscale structures

Nowadays nanotechnology allows to scale-down various important devices (sensors, chips, fibres, etc), and, thus, opens up new horizon for their applications. Nevertheless, the efficiency most of them is still based on the fundamental physical phenomena, such as resonances. Thus, the understanding of the resonance phenomena will be beneficial. One of the well-known examples is the resonant enhan...

Fano resonances in nanoscale structures

Modern nanotechnology allows one to scale down various important devices sensors, chips, fibers, etc. and thus opens up new horizons for their applications. The efficiency of most of them is based on fundamental physical phenomena, such as transport of wave excitations and resonances. Short propagation distances make phase-coherent processes of waves important. Often the scattering of waves inv...

Preparation of Nanoscale Gold Structures by Nanolithography

Gold is the material of first choice for the realisation of a large number of interesting nanoscale devices and structures due to its unique chemical and optical properties. However, conventional photolithographic processes cannot be used to manufacture such tiny structures in gold (or any other material) due to limitations imposed by the diffraction of light. New methods of lithography have be...

Self-organized nanoscale structures in Si/Ge films

Nanotechnologies of the future will demand the creation of large arrays of nanoscale structures and morphologies for electronic and optoelectronic devices. One approach to the creation of such arrays is to ‘‘let nature do it’’. By depositing on each other semiconductor materials that differ slightly in lattice constant, one can use the resulting lattice strain to obtain arrays of threedimension...
