Abstract
Plasmonics—the central topic of this thesis—lies precisely at the intersection between materials science and electromagnetism, or, else, between condensed matter physics and photonics. Broadly speaking, plasmonics is a sub-branch of physics that focuses on the study of plasmons and plasmon-enabled phenomena. Plasmons are self-sustained collective excitations of the free-electron plasma mediated by the Coulomb interaction between its charge carriers. Here, we introduce and contextualize the field of plasmonics, followed by a summary of the scope of this thesis, its structure, and its contents.
