QUANTUM NANOPLASMONICA FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACTIVE CONTROL IN OPTOELECTRONICS, FIELD AUGMENTED SPECTROSCOPY AND NANOSCOPY

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Gipuzkoa (NUTS ES212); Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 133,100; EU co-financing EUR 66,550 (co-financing rate 50%), as stated by the source. Runs 2016-12-30 to 2019-12-29.

Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): THIS PROJECT INVESTIGATES THE QUANTIC EFFECTS THAT EMERGE IN THE INTERACTION BETWEEN LIGHT AND MATTER IN THE NANOSCALE TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND NEW PHYSICAL PROCESSES OF TECHNOLOGICAL INTEREST IN NANOFOTONICA. THIS STUDY WILL BE DEVELOPED IN METAL NANOSTRUCTURES WHERE THE COLLECTIVE EXCITATIONS OF THE CONDUCTIVE ELECTRONS, COMMONLY CALLED SURFACE PLASMAS, INTERACT VERY EFFECTIVELY WITH THE OPTIC RADIATION. SURFACE PLASMAS HAVE THE ABILITY TO LOCATE AND INCREASE OPTIC FIELDS ON THE NANOSCALE, ALLOWING TO BEAT THE DIFFRACTION LIMIT OF LIGHT. For this reason METALICAS STRUCTURES ARE DENOMINED NANOPLASMONICAL ANTENAS. The GREAT DEVELOPMENT OF NANOFABRICATION has allowed the construction of PLASMONICAN nanoanthenes with morphologies in the ATOMICAL ESCAL, PONIENDO RELENTING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE QUANTIC NATURALITY OF THE INTERACTION ENTRE LIGHT AND MATERIA. BEYOND THE CLASSIC DESCRIPTIONS, THIS PROJECT DEVELOPS SOPHISTICATED QUANTIC METHODS TO ANALYSE THE OPTIONAL RESPONSE OF SUBNANOMETRICAL STRUCTURES, THE INTERACTION WITH MOLECULES, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ATOMISTIC ASPECTS, INCLUDING NONLINEAR QUANTIC EFFECTS THAT EMERGE AS A RESULT OF THE COHERENT INTERACTION BETWEEN PHOTONS AND MATERIAL EXCITATIONS. This REGIMENCE OF NANOPLASMONICA QUANTICAL AVAILABLE NEW PERSPECTIVES IN GREAT QUALITY OF TECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS IN NANOFOTONICA. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT ADOPTED A DOUBLE STRATEGY TO TREAT QUALITY EFFECTS IN PLASMONIC ANTENTS: ON THE ONE HAND, THE QUANTISATION OF ELECTRONS WITHIN THE DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY (TDDFT) IS DISCUSSED TO OBTAIN THE OPTIC RESPONSE OF A CONFINED ELECTRON GAS. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE QUANTISATION OF THE PLASMAS AND THE ELECTRONIC AND VIBRATIONAL EXCITATIONS OF THE MOLECULES IS DEVELOPED WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE QUANTUM ELECTRODINAMICA (QED), WHICH ALLOWS TO TREAT QUANTUM STATES IN NANOSCOPIC SYSTEMS. This PROJECT does not only identify quantum performances novel in the answer of NANOPLASMONIC SYSTEMS but that they also have these effects [shortened; the full text is on the Kohesio page]
