Dielectric and Plasmonic Particles Enabling Nanoscale Energy Engineering

Abstract

This project focuses on manipulating the physics of dielectric and plasmonic nanostructures for transformative near and far fields applications. We mainly investigate 1) dielectric patterned crystals with optimized periodicities to engineer directive radiation emission, 2) plasmonic nanoparticles (and core-shell) for light concentration in near and far fields, 3) large array of plasmonic nanoparticles for energy engineering in layered substrates (solar cell application), and 4) modeling finite and non-periodic array of plasmonic dipole nanoantennas. The emphasis is on modeling and physical understanding. Here we present a summary where all details can be found in our publications (reference section). Students have been involved and trained in depth in such emerging areas.
