Onderzoek naar gelokaliseerde oppervlakte plasmonresonanties in de TEM: overwinnen van de beperkingen van tijdsgemiddelde intensiteitsmapping door middel van elektron golffunctie manipulatie. Universiteit Antwerpen
Small (submicron) metal particles interact with light in a peculiar way. Their optical properties (i.e. the colours of light they absorb or reflect) are determined by their size and shape, like the harmonics that define the sound of an organ pipe. The "harmonics" of a metal particle are called surface plasmon resonances (SPR). If SPRs can be correctly understood and harnessed, they offer the possibility to manipulate light as effectively as is ...
