Searching for better plasmonic materials
Plasmonics is a research area merging the fields of optics and nanoelectronics by confining light with relatively large free-space wavelength to the nanometer scale thereby enabling a family of novel devices. Current plasmonic devices at telecommunication and optical frequencies face significant challenges due to losses encountered in the constituent plasmonic materials. These large losses seri...
متن کاملPerformance analysis of nitride alternative plasmonic materials for localized surface plasmon applications
We consider methods to define the performance metrics for different plasmonic materials to be used in localized surface plasmon applications. Optical efficiencies are shown to be better indicators of performance as compared to approximations in the quasistatic regime. The near-field intensity efficiency, which is a generalized form of the wellknown scattering efficiency, is a more flexible and ...
متن کاملAlternative plasmonic materials: beyond gold and silver.
Materials research plays a vital role in transforming breakthrough scientific ideas into next-generation technology. Similar to the way silicon revolutionized the microelectronics industry, the proper materials can greatly impact the field of plasmonics and metamaterials. Currently, research in plasmonics and metamaterials lacks good material building blocks in order to realize useful devices. ...

متن کاملNitrides as alternative materials for localized surface plasmon applications
Optical responses of titanium nitride and zirconium nitride are studied in the visible and near-infrared regions for localized surface plasmon applications. Both materials are found to be promising alternatives to noble metals. OCIS codes: (250.5403) Plasmonics; (160.4236) Nanomaterials Localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) have been studied intensely for the last few decades. Other than ...
