Optical applications of multilayered nanostructures KU Leuven
New hybrid multilayered nanostructures composed of plasmonic and iron oxide nanoparticles, bound together by organic molecules, were fabricated. These unique structures exhibit interesting and new optical phenomena and can be used to unravel fundamental interactions between light and matter at the nanoscale. In this dissertation we explored new optical effects that were due to plasmon coupling effects and the presence of strong higher order ...
