Plasmonic Materials and Nanostructures for Ultrafast Spintronics And Energy Conversion
Transition metal nitrides exhibit plasmonic properties in the visible and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum together with refractory properties such as superior mechanical, thermal and structural stability advantages. In this presentation, I will review ongoing work in our research group on hybrid magneto-plasmonic structures for ultrafast magnetization switching as well as their implementation into metamaterial structures for unprecedently high direct energy conversion from thermal energy
