Metal nanoparticles are very important for their optical properties when they interact with light. have the ability to confine collective oscillation of electrons, which is called localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). In this work, silver been proposed enhance light harvesting, could be useful different applications. such as gold and concentrate field in a small space. study, response was...

Introduction: Earth's outer core is substantially less dense that pure Fe-Ni, requiring ~3-9% of the core to be composed of a "light" element or elements [1]. Taking into account their cosmochemical availability, the elements H, C, O, Si, and S have been proposed as significant light elements in Earth's core [2]. The iden-tity(ies) of the light element(s) in Earth's core have implications for u...

increasing development of nano-technology in optics and photonics by using modern methods of light control in waveguide devices and requiring miniaturization and electromagnetic devices such as antennas, transmission and storage as well as improvement in the electromagnetic tool, have led researchers to use the phenomenon of electromagnetically induced transparency (eit) and similar phenomena i...

To better utilize the sunlight for efficient solar energy conversion, the research on visible-light active photocatalysts has recently attracted a lot of interest. The photosensitization of transition metal oxides is a promising approach for achieving effective visible-light photocatalysis. This review article primarily discusses the recent progress in the realm of a variety of nanostructured p...

We report on the direct and facile method for noble metal/graphene nano-composites from graphite without reducing agents. In this system, the irradiant white-light instead of the chemical reducing agent exerts the influence on the synthesis of noble metal nanoparticles on graphene. Noble metal salts adsorbed on graphene flakes which were functionalized with ionic surfactants were reduced by irr...

Efficient transmission of light through a metal layer has become a key issue for a variety of applications including light-emitting diodes and solar cells. We report here on a novel strategy where localized and extended surface plasmons are combined to maximize the fluorescence transmission through a metallic film. We show that the dispersion of an artificial material formed by an array of meta...
