"The peculiar properties of surface plasmons in metal nanostructures enable the manipulation of light and light-matter interactions beyond the diffraction limit. Studies on surface plasmons have created a booming research field called plasmonics. Due to its various scientific and practical applications, plasmonics attracts researchers from different fields, making it a truly interdisciplinary subject. This book starts with the general physics of surface plasmons and a brief introduction of the most prominent research topics, followed by computational techniques for light scattering by small particles. Then, a few special topics are highlighted, including surface-enhanced Raman scattering, optical nanoantennas, optical force, plasmonic waveguides and circuits, and gain-assisted plasmon resonances and propagation. The book also discusses the fundamental and representative properties and research in this field, which can help graduate students and researchers in nanophotonics, physics, chemistry, materials science, nanoscience and nanotechnology, and electrical and electronics engineering get a quick introduction to this field."--Provided by publisher.
