Pedro Afonso Cosme E Silva: Plasmonic Instabilities in Bidimensional Materials, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book provides an in-depth analysis of the hydrodynamics of two-dimensional (2D) electronic systems. The main topics covered in this book include the hydrodynamic description of charge carriers, nonlinear waves, and topological effects in 2D electronic systems. It provides a comprehensive treatment of the Boltzmann equation to derive fluid-like transport equations. The book also relies on the electrostatic excitations, the plasmons, as an additional fluid and explores their effects and interplay with the charge carriers. One of the significant contributions of this book is the investigation of plasmonic instabilities and their potential applications in nanodevices, such as THz radiation sources. The importance of this work lies in its dual contribution to fundamental research and practical applications. On the theoretical side, it advances our understanding of the hydrodynamic regime of electrons. On the practical side, it proposes novel device implementations, such as plasmonics oscillators and waveguides. This book is essential for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of quantum plasmas, 2D materials, and plasmonics. It is particularly valuable for plasma scientists interested in exploring 2D materials and condensed matter physicists who wish to study the hydrodynamic regime and the dynamic responses of these systems. By providing a detailed and comprehensive understanding of these advanced topics, this book paves the way for future research and technological innovations in the rapidly evolving fields of electrohydrodynamics and plasmonics.
