Nanostructured surfaces with designed optical functionalities, such as metasurfaces, allow
efficient harvesting of light at the nanoscale, enhancing light–matter interactions for a wide …

Metamaterials are typically engineered by arranging a set of small scatterers or apertures in
a regular array throughout a region of space, thus obtaining some desirable bulk …

Directional light scattering by spherical silicon nanoparticles in the visible spectral range is
experimentally demonstrated for the first time. These unique optical properties arise …

Research efforts addressing spin waves (magnons) in micro-and nanostructured
ferromagnetic materials have increased tremendously in recent years. Corresponding …

The vivid optical properties of noble metal nanoparticles have been an object of fascination
