Abstract

(I) Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) have shorter wavelengths and stronger field enhancement, confined to the dielectric-metal interface, in comparison with light and have been widely used in nano-optics, resonance sensing and imaging, including surface plasmon focusing. However, the low conversion efficiency and high propagation loss of SPPs limit its use. Controlling the propagation direction of SPPs by using nanostructures on metal surfaces is important. The manipulating of the focusing and polarization in plasmonic nanostructures is the key problems. In this lecture, we will introduce the principle and experimental of Near-field Optics, and then report the recent progress in the following aspects at Plasmonic-SNOM group, Peking University:

* Surface Plasmons in Metal

Magnetic Fano Resonance; Toroidal Dipolar Resonance; Active Control of Graphene-Based Unidirectional Surface Plasmon Launcher

* Surface Plasmons in 2D materials

Plasmonic hot electron induced structural phase transition in MoS2 monolayer; Graphene quantum dots doping of monolayer MoS2; Active Plasmonic Tuning of MoS2 Absorption and Luminescence

* Plasmonic circular polarization and Focusing surface plasmon polaritons in Archimedes’ nanostructure

(II) Nanotechnology becomes a worldwide important area. To face the challenge, China has established several key institutions around the country. One of the most important one is the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, which is a highly interdisciplinary research institute, with the initial members of Peking University, Tsinghua University and Chinese Academy of Sciences. After 10 years of construction and running, the Center becomes the best nanotechnology research center of the country, with young scientists of physics, chemistry, biology, information, material science and medical-pharmaceuticals. We will show you the recent activities of this dynamic center.
