Download or read book Light-Matter Interaction written by John Weiner and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2013 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws together the essential elements of classical electrodynamics, surface wave physics, plasmonic materials, and circuit theory of electrical engineering to provide insight into the essential physics of nanoscale light-matter interaction and to provide design methodology for practical nanoscale plasmonic devices. A chapter on classical and quantal radiation also highlights the similarities (and differences) between the classical fields of Maxwell's equations and the wave functions of Schrödinger's equation. The aim of this chapter is to provide a semiclassical picture of atomic absorption and emission of radiation, lending credence and physical plausibility to the "rules" of standard wave-mechanical calculations. The structure of the book is designed around five principal chapters, but many of the chapters have extensive "complements" that either treat important digressions from the main body or penetrate deeper into some fundamental issue. Furthermore, at the end of the book are several appendices to provide readers with a convenient reference for frequently-occurring special functions and explanations of the analytical tools, such as vector calculus and phasors, needed to express important results in electromagnetics and waveguide theory.

Download or read book Control of Microscopic Movement Using Synthetic and Biological Active Matter written by Ashlee Denise McGovern and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Active matter extracts energy from the environment and converts it into mechanical motion. Controlling individual and collective movements of active systems is key for progress toward applications in engineering, materials, and microrobotics. Studying biological active matter develops fundamental understandings of mechanisms of motion, communication, and sensing at the microscopic scale which nature has already been evolving for many years. We can use model systems to develop an understanding of active biological systems to learn what governs their behaviors in order to apply them to synthetic systems. Multi-responsive motion and complex shapes can be used to make micromotors, or self-propelled particles, for applications in fluid transport and cargo delivery. Using shape-programmed design strategies, meaning functionality or responsive behaviors are built directly into the shape and physical properties of the micromotor, will uncover what factors can be used to control and tune swimming behaviors. Advancements in 3D printing with nanoscale precision have opened new avenues for increasing the complexity of micromotor shapes. First, we introduce a novel design concept of chiral shape (e.g., propellers) of self-propelled particles for applications in microscale devices for drug delivery, as well as microcargo transport, and microrobotics. The rotation rate was optimized from three design parameters: propeller height, number of fins, and fin pitch. Propellers are encoded with various types of motion. The chiral shape resulted in the symmetry breaking of magnetic responses and controllable propeller-propeller interactions to either repel or attract. Secondly, we investigate cell dynamics on 3D-printed spiral patterns as a means to enhance control of cellular motion for biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, cell sorting, and diagnostic testing. Bladder cancer cells show biased and directed motion towards the spiral center based on extracellular cues from the ridge patterns as a means for cell concentration. More specifically, the spiral patterns impose a left-right symmetry breaking via topography and curvature gradient towards the center of the spiral. Chiral particle shape and symmetry-broken topography show two viable options for imparting control over microscopic movement.

Download or read book Light-Matter Interactions Towards the Nanoscale written by Maura Cesaria and published by Springer. This book was released on 2022-05-15 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The investigation of light-matter interactions in materials, especially those on the nanoscale, represents perhaps the most promising avenue for scientific progress in the fields of photonics and plasmonics. This book examines a variety of topics, starting from fundamental principles, leading to the current state of the art research. For example, this volume includes a chapter on the sensing of biological molecules with optical resonators (microspheres) combined with plasmonic systems, where the response this system are described in a fundamental and elegant manner using coupled mode theory. Symmetry plays a major role in the book. One chapter on time reversal symmetry in electromagnetic theory describes how to control the properties of light (e.g. scattering and directionality of the flow of light) in materials with certain topological invariants. Another chapter where symmetry is prominent reformulates, using a gentle and pedagogical approach, Maxwell’s Equations into a new set of fields that reveal a “handedness” symmetry in electromagnetic theory, which can be applied to photonic systems in, for example, the sensing of chiral molecules and understanding the conditions for zero reflection. Also, for students and researchers starting in the field of nanoplasmonics, the book includes a tutorial on the finite element time domain simulation of nanoplasmonic systems. Other topics include photonic systems for quantum computing, nanoplasmonics, and optical properties of nano and bulk materials. The authors take a pedagogical approach to their topic, making the book an excellent reference for graduate students and scientists starting in the fields of photonics or plasmonics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microcavities are semiconductor, metal, or dielectric structures providing optical confinement in one, two or three dimensions. At the end of the 20th century, microcavities have attracted attention due to the discovery of a strong exciton-light coupling regime allowing for the formation of superposition light-matter quasiparticles: exciton-polaritons. In the following century several remarkable effects have been discovered in microcavities, including the Bose-Einstein condensation of exciton-polaritons, polariton lasing, superfluidity, optical spin Hall and spin Meissner effects, amongst other discoveries. Currently, polariton devices exploiting the bosonic stimulation effects at room temperature are being developed by laboratories across the world. This book addresses the physics of microcavities: from classical to quantum optics, from a Boltzmann gas to a superfluid. It provides the theoretical background needed for understanding the complex phenomena in coupled light-matter systems, and it presents a broad overview of experimental progress in the physics of microcavities.

This book was released on 2013-12-23 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The physics of strong light-matter coupling has been addressed in different scientific communities over the last three decades. Since the early eighties, atoms coupled to optical and microwave cavities have led to pioneering demonstrations of cavity quantum electrodynamics, Gedanken experiments, and building blocks for quantum information processing, for which the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded in 2012. In the framework of semiconducting devices, strong coupling has allowed investigations into the physics of Bose gases in solid-state environments, and the latter holds promise for exploiting light-matter interaction at the single-photon level in scalable architectures. More recently, impressive developments in the so-called superconducting circuit QED have opened another fundamental playground to revisit cavity quantum electrodynamics for practical and fundamental purposes.This book aims at developing the necessary interface between these communities, by providing future researchers with a robust conceptual, theoretical and experimental basis on strong light-matter coupling, both in the classical and in the quantum regimes. In addition, the emphasis is on new forefront research topics currently developed around the physics of strong light-matter interaction in the atomic and solid-state scenarios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photonic band gap crystals offer unique ways to tailor light and the propagation of electromagnetic waves. In analogy to electrons in a crystal, EM waves propagating in a structure with a periodically-modulated dielectric constant are organized into photonic bands separated by gaps in which propagating states are forbidden. Proposed applications of such photonic band gap crystals, operating at frequencies from microwave to optical, include zero- threshold lasers, low-loss resonators and cavities, and efficient microwave antennas. Spontaneous emission is suppressed for photons in the photonic band gap, offering novel approaches to manipulating the EM field and creating high-efficiency light-emitting structures. Photonic Band Gap Materials identifies three most promising areas of research. The first is materials fabrication, involving the creation of high quality, low loss, periodic dielectric structures. The smallest photonic crystals yet fabricated have been made by machining Si wafers along (110), and some have lattice constants as small as 500 microns. The second area is in applications. Possible applications presented are microwave mirrors, directional antennas, resonators (especially in the 2 GHz region), filters, waveguides, Y splitters, and resonant microcavities. The third area covers fundamentally new physical phenomena in condensed matter physics and quantum optics. An excellent review of recent development, covering theoretical, experimental and applied aspects. Interesting and stimulating reading for active researchers, as well as a useful reference for non-specialists.
