High magneto-optical performance in metal-dielectric magnetoplasmonic nanodisks

Abstract

The term magnetoplasmon, or magnetoplasma surface wave, was first introduced in the early 70’s, motivated by a renovated interest in surface plasmons in metals and degenerate semiconductors.Nowadays, the phenomenology associated to systems where plasmonic and MO properties coexist has become an active area of investigation. The so called magneto-plasmonic systems have opened new routes for the development for example of higher performance gas and biosensing platforms as well as the exploitation of non-reciprocal effects in devices with potential applications in the telecomunications area.
