Handbook of Molecular Plasmonics

“This is a really complete book that covers topics ranging from the basics of light–matter interaction through practical and theoretical methods to understand and characterize the optical response of nanoparticles and molecules, as well as their interaction and related surface enhancement effects. The theoretical description is complemented by experimental examples and applications. The book will be very useful to researchers entering the field of molecular plasmonics, particularly those who are less familiar with the basic concepts, which are usually skipped in more specialized books or reviews.”

~Prof. Luis M. Liz-Marzán, CIC biomaGUNE, Spain

“This is a well-conceived and well-organized book in the broad and highly active area of molecular plasmonics. It contains leading specialists’ contributions on theory and simulation, experimental techniques, and fabrication. Each chapter is structured in order that it can serve both as an introduction for a non-specialist reader and as a review reference for an active researcher in the field. The content achieves very good balance between tutorial and research aspects—what can make the book an authoritative reference in the field for several years.”
