A review of the optical properties of alloys and intermetallics for plasmonics
Martin G Blaber, Matthew D Arnold, Michael J Ford
Alternative materials are required to enhance the efficacy of plasmonic devices. We discuss the optical properties of a number of alloys, doped metals, intermetallics, silicides, m…

Designing materials for plasmonic systems
Martin G. Blaber, Matthew D. Arnold, Michael J. Ford
We use electronic structure calculations based upon density functional theory to search for ideal plasmonic materials among the alkali noble intermetallics. Importantly, we use den…
