Ph.D. Thesis
Title Tunable Plasmonic Nanostructures: from Fundamental
Nanoscale Optics to Surface-enhanced Spectroscopies
Adviser Professor Naomi J. Halas
Thesis Committee Prof. James L. Kinsey, Department of Chemistry;
and Prof. Peter Nordlander, Department of Physics
Essay
The fascinating optical properties of metallic nanostructures, dominated
by collective oscillations of free electrons known as plasmons, open
new opportunities for the development of fundamentally new metal-based
subwavelength optical elements with broad technological potential. This
thesis demonstrates the rational design and controllable fabrication
of a whole family of novel plasmonic nanostructures with geometrically
tunable optical properties with a particular focus on utilizing plasmonic
nanostructures to optimize molecular sensing platforms based on surface-enhanced
spectroscopies.....[full text;
