For decades, the surface-plasmon-polariton wave guided by the
interface of simple isotropic materials dominated the scene.
However, in recent times research on electromagnetic surface waves
guided by planar interfaces has expanded into new and exciting
areas. In the 1990's research focused on advancing knowledge of the
newly discovered Dyakonov wave. More recently, much of the surface
wave research is motivated by the proliferation of nanotechnology
and the growing number of materials available with novel
properties. This book leads the reader from the relatively simple
surface-plasmon-polariton wave with isotropic materials to the
latest research on various types of electromagnetic surface waves
guided by the interfaces of complex materials enabled by recent
developments in nanotechnology. This includes: Dyakonov waves
guided by interfaces formed with columnar thin films, Dyakonov-Tamm
waves guided by interfaces formed with sculptured thin films, and
multiple modes of surface-plasmon-polariton waves guided by the
interface of a metal and a periodically varying dielectric
material.
Gathers research from the past 5 years in a single comprehensive
view of electromagnetic surface waves. Written by the foremost
experts and researchers in the field.Layered presentation explains
topics with an introductory overview level up to a highly technical
level.
