Collective Theory for Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering.
TLDR
For the first time it is possible to handle surfaces consisting of complex particles close enough to interact strongly, and a fully retarded implementation of Maxwell's equations on adaptive meshes allows treatment of large particles as well as small.Abstract:
We present an implementation of Maxwell's equations on adaptive meshes in order to study interaction of light with metal surfaces. For the first time it is possible to handle surfaces consisting of complex particles close enough to interact strongly. A fully retarded implementation allows treatment of large particles as well as small. By way of example we model a rough silver surface as an array of half-cylinders embedded in a silver surface. Very localized plasmon modes, created by strong electromagnetic coupling between touching metallic objects, dominate the surface enhanced Raman scattering response.read more

Surface plasmon subwavelength optics
TL;DR: By altering the structure of a metal's surface, the properties of surface plasmons—in particular their interaction with light—can be tailored, which could lead to miniaturized photonic circuits with length scales that are much smaller than those currently achieved.

Magnetism from conductors and enhanced nonlinear phenomena
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that microstructures built from nonmagnetic conducting sheets exhibit an effective magnetic permeability /spl mu/sub eff/, which can be tuned to values not accessible in naturally occurring materials.
