Plasmonic Materials and Metastructures: Fundamentals, Current Status, and Perspectives reviews the current status and emerging trends in the development of conventional and alternative plasmonic materials. Sections cover fundamentals and emerging trends of plasmonic materials development, including synthesis strategies (chemical and physical) and optical characterization techniques. Next, the book addresses fundamentals, properties, remaining barriers for commercial translation, and the latest advances and opportunities for conventional noble metal plasmonic materials. Fundamentals and advances for alternative plasmonic materials are also reviewed, including two-dimensional hybrid materials composed of graphene, monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, boron nitride, etc.
In addition, other sections cover applications of plasmonic metastructures enabled by plasmonic materials with improved material properties and newly discovered functionalities. Applications reviewed include quantum plasmonics, topological plasmonics, chiral plasmonics, nanolasers, imaging (metalens), active, and integrated technologies.

Xiaoqin Li Fellow, American Physical Society, USA.
Dr. Xiaoqin (Elaine) Li received her PhD in physics in 2003 from the University of Michigan, where she worked with Prof. Duncan Steel. In 2007, she joined the University of Texas-Austin after working with Prof. Steven Cundiff as a postdoctoral researcher at JILA, Colorado. Her research interests include fundamental optical properties of individual semiconductor and metallic nanoparticles or assembled clusters, metasurfaces. Her group is broadly interested in fundamental and collective excitations in solids such as phonons, excitons, magnons, and plasmons in a wide range of materials and how these excitations couple to each other to enable new properties. Recently, her group has worked on the assembly and characterization of artificial plasmonic nanoclusters, ultrafast spectroscopy studies of exciton physics in atomically thin semiconductors, and controlling magnons in magnetic multilayers. She is a fellow of the American Physical Society.
