Plasmon-Exciton Coupling Dynamics in Metal-ZnO Nanostructures

<p> Zinc oxide films or quantum wells and plasmonic elements, comprising rough metal films and nano-cylinder arrays of Ag, Al or Au, constitute an especially interesting model system for studying plasmon-exciton interactions. This dissertation focuses on the energetics, dynamics and control of...
