Introducing graduate students in physics, optics, materials science, and electrical engineering to surface plasmons, this book also covers guided modes at planar interfaces of metamaterials with negative refractive index.

The physics of localized and propagating surface plasmons on planar films, gratings, nanowires, and nanoparticles is developed using both analytical and numerical techniques. Guided modes at the interfaces between materials with any combination of positive or negative permittivity and permeability are analyzed in a systematic manner. Applications of surface plasmon physics are described, including near-field transducers in heat-assisted magnetic recording and biosensors.

Cover illustration: a stylized theoretical image of the field intensity pattern around a lollipop nanoantenna at resonance. This antenna design was used in the first demonstration of near-field, heat-assisted magnetic recording with a flying recording head and rotating medium. It was used to confine laser energy on the medium to a recording track width of less than a tenth of a wavelength. Courtesy Seagate Technology.
Industry Reviews
"... the authors have provided an accessible source to the rapidly developing field of plasmonics... the material presented will amply fulfill the requirements of graduate students in the many disciplines that use plasmonics. The book is well illustrated, and overall it is prepared to an extremely high standard." K. Alan Shore, Optics and Photonics News
