Molecular plasmonics, the area which deals with the interactions between surface plasmons
and molecules, has received enormous interest in fundamental research and found …

The recently emerged fields of metamaterials and transformation optics promise a family of
exciting applications such as invisibility, optical imaging with deeply subwavelength …

Recent experiments claimed that the catalysis of reaction rates in numerous bond-
dissociation reactions occurs via the decrease of activation barriers driven by non …

The magnetic response of most natural materials, characterized by magnetic permeability, is
generally weak. Particularly, in the optical range, the weakness of magnetic effects is directly …

On the basis of a full-vectorial three-dimensional Maxwell-Bloch approach we investigate
the possibility of using gain to overcome losses in a negative refractive index fishnet …

Optical metamaterials have redefined how we understand light in notable ways: from strong
response to optical magnetic fields, negative refraction, fast and slow light propagation in …

We report that hybridizing semiconductor quantum dots with plasmonic metamaterial leads
to a multifold intensity increase and narrowing of their photoluminescence spectrum. The …

The gain-assisted plasmonic analog of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a
metallic metamaterial is investigated for the purpose to enhance the sensing performance of …

The negative refraction and evanescent-wave canalization effects supported by a layered
metamaterial structure obtained by alternating dielectric and plasmonic layers is …

Low-electron-density Drude (LEDD) materials such as indium tin oxide (ITO) are receiving
