Optical Properties of Nanostructured Metallic Systems
Studied with the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method
Language: English
Release Date: October 8, 2011
The common belief is that light is completely reflected by metals. In reality they also exhibit an amazing property that is not so widely known: under some conditions light flows along a metallic surface as if it were glued to it. Physical phenomena related to these light waves, which are called Surface...
