The talk is part of the colloquium of the CRC 1461 "Neurotronics: Bio‑inspired Information Pathways". Everybody interested is cordially invited to take part:
Nano-Optics is concerned with the manipulation of light at or beyond the diffraction limit. Light confinement in subwavelength volumes is achieved by binding light to plasmonic or phononic resonances of nanoparticles. In this talk, I will first report on our efforts to measure and reconstruct the three-dimensional vectorial fields in nanophotonic environments, using electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), a technique based on electron microscopy, together with plasmon field tomography [1]. With the newest generation of electron microscopes, the energy resolution can be further pushed to the meV range and it becomes possible to image the surface and bulk phonon polariton fields in ionic nanostructures [2]. Recently, we have reconstructed the three-dimensional vectorial fields of such phononic nanostructures from a series of tilted EELS images [3].
The Diels-Planck-Lecture Medal is awarded annually to an outstanding and leading scientist in the field of nanoscience and surface science. This year, the medal will be awarded to R. Stanley Williams, Texas A&M University, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company Chair Professor, who is an outstanding scientist in the field of nanotechnology and who has done pioneering work in the field of memristive devices and neuromorphic computing. He will present his research in the Diels-Planck-Lecture, organized by KiNSIS and the
