Chapter 1Introduction

Anghinolfi, Luca

Pages: 1 –11

[In a world in which the information and communication technology has gradually assumed a pivotal role for scientific, technological and social purposes, there is a constantly growing demand for smaller and faster devices able of manipulating information, typically in the form of electronic,...

Chapter 2Theory

Anghinolfi, Luca

Pages: 13 –46

[It is well known that light has the character of waves. Each electromagnetic (EM) wave propagates in space and time following the laws of electromagnetism, and consists of electric \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts}...

Chapter 3Experimental Methods

Anghinolfi, Luca

Pages: 47 –58

[The subject of this thesis is the experimental study of 2-dimensional arrays of gold nanoparticles deposited on a self-organized insulating substrate. The fabrication and the optical/morphological characterization has represented a key point the research activity.]

Chapter 4Self-Organized Nanoparticle Arrays: Morphological Aspects

Anghinolfi, Luca

Pages: 59 –70

[In this chapter we present the procedures for the fabrication of lithium fluoride nanostructured substrates and for the subsequent realization of ordered 2D arrays of metallic nanoparticles.]

Chapter 5Self-Organized Nanoparticle Arrays: Optical Properties

Anghinolfi, Luca

Pages: 71 –85

[In this chapter, we present the optical characterizations of the specimens during all the steps of the fabrications, from the bare LiF substrates to the 2D arrays of gold nanoparticles.]

Chapter 6Modelling and Analysis of the Optical Properties

Anghinolfi, Luca

Pages: 87 –112

[In this chapter we will focus on the development of a theoretical modelling framework, allowing us to account for the optical response of the 2D arrays of gold nanoparticles described in the previous chapters. A theoretical support to the experimental data is of fundamental importance in order...

Chapter 7Composite Magnetic-Plasmonic Media Based on Au/LiF Arrays

Anghinolfi, Luca

Pages: 113 –119

[In this chapter, we report a selected example of fabrication of a 2D array of magnetic nanoparticles, realized employing the array of gold nanoparticles as a template for guiding the deposition of the magnetic clusters. Such a composite system, with both optical and magnetic functionality, would...

Chapter 8Conclusions

Anghinolfi, Luca

Pages: 121 –123

[In this thesis, we have discussed the fabrication of self-organized 2-dimensional arrays of gold nanoparticles, with independently tunable size, shape and periodic arrangement, and the characterization of their collective plasmonic response.]
