The project will involve novel imaging using surface plasmons. For more than a century the emphasis has been on diffraction limited resolution. In recent years many exciting, new approaches have emerged in terms of both imaging on the nanoscale and using nanoparticles to highlight charcateristics of a sample. The optical characteristics of many systems can be significantly enhanced by plasmonics. They promise to have a major impact in many areas of nanoscience including photonic electronics where surface plasmon polaritons offer promise in the miniaturisation of photonis circuits. This project will investigate the physics and applications of plasmonics in novel imaging environments.
The studentship, with a stipend of €16,000 per annum, is available from September 2011. Applications including a CV and the contact details of two academic referees must be submitted to physics[ at ]tcd.ie with the subject line “Prof. Eithne McCabe PRTLI5 studentship”.
