Metamaterials are nano-engineered media with designed properties beyond those available
in nature with applications in all aspects of materials science. In particular, metamaterials …

The complementary optical properties of surface plasmon excitations of metal
nanostructures and long-lived excitations of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) make them …

Cavity–emitter coupling can enable a host of potential applications in quantum optics, from
low-threshold lasers to brighter single-photon sources for quantum cryptography. Although …

This consistent and systematic review of recent advances in optical antenna theory and
practice brings together leading experts in the fields of electrical engineering, nano-optics …

Nanometallic optical antennas are rapidly gaining popularity in applications that require
exquisite control over light concentration and emission processes. The search is on for high …

Since Purcell's seminal report 75 years ago, electromagnetic resonators have been used to
control light-matter interactions to make brighter radiation sources and unleash …

We present a self-assembly method to construct CdSe/ZnS quantum dot–gold nanoparticle
complexes. This method allows us to form complexes with relatively good control of the …

Tailoring the efficiency of fluorescent emission via plasmon–exciton coupling requires
structure control on a nanometer length scale using a high-yield fabrication route not …

We propose an approach to enhance and direct the spontaneous emission from isolated
emitters embedded inside hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) into single-photon beams. The …

Li-rich Mn-based layered oxides have been considered as the most promising cathode
candidate for high energy density lithium ion batteries. However, the practical application of …
