Physics Seminar: Negative refractive index for graphene and surface Plasmon instability for hybrid structures

N-823

Presented by: Distinguished Professor Godfrey Gumbs Femtosecond and subfemtosecond time scales typically rule electron dynamics at metal surfaces. Recent advances in experimental techniques allow the experimental study of such dynamics. In this talk, we shall analyze electron dynamics at surfaces and nanostructures with emphasis on screening times, spin dependence of charge transfer of adsorbates and
