The genie in the bottle Surface plasmons are effectively ripples in a pond of freely floating electrons on the surface of a metal that has a lot of unbound electrons to spare.
This extra light energy excites electrons in the metal particles, creating electron waves called plasmons - a cross between plasma and photons.
Topics covered include advances in the theory, physics and applications of surface plasmons in metals, nanotechnology, biophotonics, sensing, biochemistry and medicine.
