Surface plasmon resonances in nanoparticles have numerous promising scientific and technological applications in such areas as nanophotonics, near-field microscopy, nano-lithography, biosensor, metamaterial and optical data storage. Consequently, the understanding of plasmon resonances in nanoparticles has both fundamental and practical significance. In this book, a new efficient numerical technique to fully characterize the plasmon resonances in three-dimensional nanoparticles is presented. In this... Mehr
