"This book covers the optical and electrical properties of nanoscale materials with an emphasis on how new and unique material properties result from the special nature of their electronic band structure. Beginning with a review of the optical and solid state physics needed for …
The book focuses on the topology optimization method for nano-optics. Both principles and implementing practice have been addressed, with more weight placed on applications. This is achieved by providing an in-depth study on the major topic of topology optimization of dielectric…
Nanostructured Materials for Visible Light Photocatalysis describes the various methods of synthesizing different classes of nanostructured materials that are used as photocatalysts for the degradation of organic hazardous dyes under visible light irradiation. The first three ch…
The common belief is that light is completely reflected by metals. In reality they also exhibit an amazing property that is not so widely known: under some conditions light flows along a metallic surface as if it were glued to it. Physical phenomena related to these light waves,…

"Nanomaterials are mainly categorized into three groups: fundamental building blocks; dispersions or composites of building blocks in randomly ordered matrices; and spatially resolved, ordered nanostructures. Today, nanomaterials that offer some unique optical properties may fin…
"This book reviews developments in various emergent micro- and nanomaterials and their implementation in optical, infrared, and terahertz applications. The similarity, advantage, and limitation of each material is discussed and a comparative analysis of the various materials is …
