Magnetron sputtering is a thin film deposition technique used extensively in materials science, optics, and electronics to fabricate different thin films with special functions due to its high sputtering rate and low deposition temperature requirement. This article discusses the application of magnetron sputtering in the fabrication of thin films.
Plasmonics is an innovative concept in nanophotonics that combines the properties of both electronics and photonics by confining the light energy to a nanometer-scale oscillating field of free electrons/surface plasmon. This article discusses the importance and applications of plasmonics in photonics.
