Next Tuesday
In the last Agora we started to discuss about the review paper "Light in tiny holes". We saw that the first attempt to describe such problem was made by Bethe in early 40’s. However, the theory fails when compared to recent experimental results. The problem was that the Bethe’s theory considered an infinitly thin metal layer, which is a strong idealization. When we considered the effects of a hole in a metal layer with thickness ‘d’, we realized that ‘surface plasmons’ started to play an important role in the problem’s analysis. Therefore, we decided to get a better understanding in this subject. So, for the next week, bring your contribution to the "surface plasmon" discussion. After that, we continue on the paper, restarting from the box 2.
be Aware we are meeting on TUESDAY 10th of May!!!!!
