Design and fabrication guide for a new metamaterial as an absorber of visible light with exceptionally high absorption efficiency
Vivek Khichar, Nader Hozhabri, Ali R. Koymen
We present a guide for the design and fabrication of a CMOS-compatible metamaterial microstructure as an absorber of visible light with exceptionally high absorption efficiency (~…
Energy exchange between surface plasmon polaritons and CdSe/ZnS quantum dots
Kunal Tiwari, Suresh C Sharma, Hussein Akafzade +1
Evidence is presented for energy exchange between surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) excited in waveguide-coupled Ag/Si3N4/Au structures and CdSe/ZnS quantum dot (QD) emitters. The…
Application of single metal Au and Ag/Si3N4/Au plasmonic sensors for glucose refractive index measurements
Hussein Akafzade, Nader Hozhabri, Suresh C Sharma
We have employed single gold layer metal and multilayer Ag/Si3N4/Au plasmonic sensors to monitor changes in the refraction index of glucose/water solutions. Our results show that t…
Controlling electrical conduction through noble metal thin films by surface plasmon resonance
Suresh C Sharma, Vivek Khichar, Hussein Akafzade +1
The collective oscillations of surface charges (surface plasmons) induced by light-matter interactions were predicted in the 1950s to influence electrical conduction in 2D noble me…
