Nano-optics, Nano-photonics and Nano-plasmonics
Theoretical study of light and matter interaction at the nanoscale and the optical response of advanced nanostructured materials
This research line deals with the theoretical study of the interaction between light and matter at the nanoscale and in mesoscopic systems, including as targets low-dimensional systems, nanostructures and disordered systems.
Specific topics
- Complex dynamics of nanoparticles under non-conservative optical forces.
- Topological photonics in low-dimensional systems.
- Photonic properties of graphene and novel van der Waals materials.
- Theoretical quantum and classical methods for plasmon-molecule systems.
- Quantum and classical properties of plasmonic nanoantennas for field enhanced spectroscopy, microscopy, and other applications.
