We present the science and technology roadmap for graphene, related two-dimensional
crystals, and hybrid systems, targeting an evolution in technology, that might lead to impacts …

When metal nanoparticles are arranged in an ordered array, they may scatter light to
produce diffracted waves. If one of the diffracted waves then propagates in the plane of the …

Materials research plays a vital role in transforming breakthrough scientific ideas into next‐
generation technology. Similar to the way silicon revolutionized the microelectronics …

The vivid optical properties of noble metal nanoparticles have been an object of fascination
since ancient times. The ruby red of stained glass windows arises from gold nanoparticles …

Recent years have seen a rapid expansion of research into nanophotonics based on
surface plasmon–polaritons. These electromagnetic waves propagate along metal …

We experimentally demonstrate a perfect plasmonic absorber at λ= 1.6 μm. Its polarization-
independent absorbance is 99% at normal incidence and remains very high over a wide …

Surface plasmons are collective oscillations of electrons in metals or semiconductors that
enable confinement and control of electromagnetic energy at subwavelength scales …

Coinage metals, such as Au, Ag, and Cu, have been important materials throughout
history.(1) Although in ancient cultures they were admired primarily for their ability to reflect …

The second edition of this successful textbook provides an up-to-date account of the optical
physics of solid state materials. The basic principles of absorption, reflection, luminescence …

Nanoantennas are key optical components for light harvesting; photodiodes convert light
into a current of electrons for photodetection. We show that these two distinct, independent …
