The Physics & Astronomy Colloquium Series presents Grergory V Hartland of the University of Notre Dame on “Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Single Plasmonic Nanostructures” on Friday, March 13, at 4:10 p.m. in Walter 245.
Abstract: Single particle spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying nanomaterials. It is capable of revealing information about how differences in size, shape and environment affect properties – which is often hidden in ensemble measurements. This talk will concentrate on using ultrafast transient absorption microscopy to study energy relaxation in single metal nanostuctures. These experiments yield information about how these structures interact with their environment, as well as how electrons (plasmon modes) move around within and between nanostructures.
