2015 E-MRS (European Materials Research Society) Symposium L
Abstract
2015 has been declared the UNESCO Year of Light, which is provident, since light is being used in newer ways than ever before. Using metamaterials, the diffractive limit of the photon is now being broken through coupling to electrons and phonons. These exciting developments, coupled with the discovery of 2-dimensional materials such as van der Waals crystals, presents unique opportunities and challenges to explore negative-index materials, super-resolution imaging, surface plasmons, and related phenomena in surface phonon polaritons within polar dielectric crystals. The combination of plasmonics with 2-D materials such as graphene has opened exciting new research opportunities. In order to investigate such structures, and ultimately to put them to practical use, it is necessary to predict, design, fabricate and interrogate structures that over a broad range of length scales, from the single-atom thick and couple nm wide graphene nanoribbons, to the <200 nm plasmonic nanoparticles to metamaterials architectures on the micron-scale using similar methodologies. The merging of multiple length scales must employ novel techniques for fabricating such structures. This symposium will focus on the following aspects associated with researching these materials and their corresponding optical phenomena
