Zusatztext Light-Matter Interaction is pleasant to read and does a good job of introducing the reader to electromagnetic waves in matter and to nanoscale radiation-matter interactions! with a focus on surface and interface phenomena. The books distinctive feature is its joining of physics and engineering in its description of surface plasmons: Youll find both a detailed description of the theoretical bases and examples from real metallic systems. Informationen zum Autor John Weiner! Visiting Professor! University of São Paulo; Frederico Nunes! Professor! Federal University of Pernambuco Klappentext This book draws together the essential elements of classical electrodynamics! surface wave physics! plasmonic materials! and circuit theory of electrical engineering to provide insight into the essential physics of nanoscale light-matter interaction and to provide design methodology for practical nanoscale plasmonic devices. This book provides a clear and concise explanation of the classical electromagnetism and basic quantum mechanics needed to explore interactions between light and matter [] those who seek a good grounding in electromagnetics will find this text very useful. There are also a number of helpful supplements and appendices which provide added detail on diverse topics.
