Aims & Scope

Plasmonics is a peer-reviewed journal that advances and reports on the interactions of free-metal electrons, Plasmons, and their applications. Covers theory, physics, and applications of surface plasmons in metals and emerging areas of nanotechnology, biophotonics, sensing, biochemistry, and medicine. Describes new plasmonic based devices, synthetic procedures for nanostructures preparation, and their optical properties. Presents reviews, rapid communications, letters to the editors, and technical and design notes.
