Model the electromagnetic responses of structured metallic materials using plasmonic concepts: bulk plasmons, surface plasmon-polaritons, and localized surface plasmons.
Apply these theoretical concepts to explain related applications (sensors, vibrational spectroscopies, waveguides, light extraction in OLEDs, photothermal properties, electrochromism, dichroism, etc.).
Numerically simulate the electromagnetic responses of plasmonic systems.
Communicate professionally on the application of scientific concepts through a written report and an oral presentation.
Establish the link between collective elementary excitations (plasmons) and various applications through conceptual reflection and numerical simulations.
1. Electromagnetism of metals and volume plasmon.
2. Surface plasmon polariton
3. Localized surface plasmas
4. Characterisation and applications of surface plasmons
