Handbook of Nanoplasmonics - Hardcoverby Jonah Holmes (Editor) The study of optical phenomena in the nanoscale vicinity of metal surfaces is referred to as nanoplasmonics. Researches in nanoplasmonics focus nanoscale light below the diffraction limit by converting free photons into localized charge density oscillations or surface plasmons on noble metal nanostructures. These serve as nanoscale analogs of radio antennas and are typically designed by using antenna theory concepts. The
