The present status and development of strong-field nano-optics, an emerging field of
nonlinear optics, is discussed. A nonperturbative regime of light-matter interactions is …

This review discusses how low-energy valence excitations created by swift electrons can
render information on the optical response of structured materials with unmatched spatial …

Recently two emerging areas of research, attosecond and nanoscale physics, have started
to come together. Attosecond physics deals with phenomena occurring when ultrashort laser …

The use of aluminum for plasmonic nanostructures opens up new possibilities, such as
access to short-wavelength regions of the spectrum, complementary metal–oxide …

Metallic nanostructures now play an important role in many applications. In particular, for the
emerging fields of plasmonics and nanophotonics, the ability to engineer metals on …

Though creation and characterization of water soluble luminescent silver nanodots were
achieved only in the past decade, a large variety of emitters in diverse scaffolds have been …

Interest in nanotechnology is driven by the unique and novel properties of nanoscale
materials such as the strong interaction of metal particles with light, caused by localized …

Lycurgus cup [1] created by ancient Romans 2000 years ago can appear different colors
depending on the direction of light illumination in which it is viewed due to metal …

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of noble metal nanoparticles (aka plasmonic
nanoparticles) opens up a new horizon for advanced biomolecule sensing. However, an …

Attosecond science is based on electron dynamics driven by a strong optical electric field
and has evolved beyond its original scope in gas-phase atomic and molecular physics to …
