In undergraduate courses on classical electromagnetism, it is taught that a perfect conductor
expels the electromagnetic (EM) field, and hence its surface is not able to support the …

Label-free optical biosensing holds great promise for a variety of applications in biomedical
diagnostics, environmental and food safety, and security. It is already used as a key tool in …

This review article discusses progress in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of two-
dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) chip-based nanostructure array patterns …

Label-free plasmonic biosensors rely either on surface plasmon polaritons or on localized
surface plasmons on continuous or nanostructured noble-metal surfaces to detect molecular …

Analogous to the observation on rough surfaces, the excitation of SPs on gratings can be
observed by the emitted light. In the experimental arrangement, see Fig. 6, 1, the rough …

A surface plasmon polariton (SPP) is an electromagnetic excitation existing on the surface of
a good metal. It is an intrinsically two-dimensional excitation whose electromagnetic field …

Collective electronic excitations at metal surfaces are well known to play a key role in a wide
spectrum of science, ranging from physics and materials science to biology. Here we focus …

Physics at Surfaces is a unique graduate-level introduction to the physics and chemical
physics of solid surfaces, and atoms and molecules that interact with solid surfaces. A …

Long-range surface plasmon polaritons (LRSPPs) are optical surface waves that propagate
along a thin symmetric metal slab or stripe over an appreciable length (centimeters) …

Metallic particles and surfaces display diverse and complex optical properties. Examples
include the intense colors of noble metal colloids, surface plasmon resonance absorption by …
