What are Plasmonics and How Do They Relate to Reflection?
Plasmonics is a field that studies the interaction between electromagnetic field and free electrons in a metal. This interaction can lead to the generation of surface plasmons, which are waves that travel along the surface of a conductor. Plasmonic effects can greatly enhance the reflection, absorption, and scattering of light at the nanoscale. This has applications in improving the sensitivity of sensors and enhancing the efficiency of photovoltaic devices.
