Nanogold and its surprising new properties
Event Start:
2019-11-07T16:00:00
Event End:
2019-11-07T17:00:00
Event Information:
A variety of new properties emerges in nanostructured metallic materials. These new properties are consequence of the collective excitation of conducting electrons, known as surface-plasmon resonances (SPR). For instance, the color of noble metals, such as gold and silver, can be controlled at the nanoscale by tuning the geometric characteristics of the nanostructures. Surface plasmon (SP) waves can propagate at the surface of thin metal films and this property can be explored for 2D imaging applications.
