The nanostructure of a material can affect its properties in many ways, and in particular in the way it interacts with light. By creating structures which are controlled on a length scale below the wavelength of the incident radiation, this radiation can be manipulated. This gives rise to a range of new properties, such as negative electrical permittivity and negative refractive index, which is at the origin of the “invisibility cloak”. Our research is concerned with the synthesis of nanophotonic/plasmonic materials through techniques such as self-assembly and lithographic deposition, as well as with the physics underpinning those fascinating phenomena.
