HalasStanley C. Moore Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering,Rice University“Plasmonics: Shedding Light on Cross-Cutting Scienceand Technologies”Date: Sunday, March 8, 2015Time: 4:45 PMlocation: Great Hall A, Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, LA(Mixer to immediately follow the lecture.)Metallic nanoparticles, used since antiquity to impart intense and vibrant color into materials, have more recentlybecome a central tool in the nanoscale manipulation of light across a range of chemical sciences and engineeringapplications. This interest has led to a virtual explosion of new types of metal-based nanoparticles and nanostructuresof various shapes and compositions, and has given rise to new strategies to harvest, control, and manipulate light basedon these structures and their properties. By assembling metallic nanoparticles into useful building blocks, a strikingparallel between the plasmons of these structures and wave functions of simple quantum systems is universallyobserved. 1 Clusters of metallic nanoparticles behave like coupled oscillators or antennas, introducing effectscharacteristic of systems as diverse as radio frequency transmitters and coupled pendulums into light-driven nanoscalestructures. 2 Their unique light-controlling properties can be put to use in a multitude of ways: for detecting singlemolecules and following chemical reactions, for generation of hot electrons for color-specific photodetection 3 andphotocatalysis, 4 and most recently, for high-efficiency solar steam generation poised to tackle our planet’s energy andsustainability challenges. 51.
