Electromagnetic Actuation for Biology Electromagnetism is a well-established phenomenon for sensors; however, one may also use intense electromagnetic radiation, such as pulsed power, plasmas, or lasers, to induce changes in cellular function. Recent investigations have focused on utilizing these technologies to induce multiscale changes in biological specimens for applications ranging from drug delivery to wound treatment. The most common and mature example is electroporation,...

Prof. Mark I. Stockman OSA Purdue Student Chapter Seminar
Spaserin Quantum Regime Nanoplasmonicsdeals with collective electron dynamics on the surface of metal nanostructures, which arises due to excitations called surface plasmons. Nanoplasmonicshas numerous applications in science, technology, biomedicine, environmental monitoring, and defense. Until recently, all the effects, elements, and devices in nanoplasmonicshave been passive: they use external optical energy, always losing a fraction of it to heat and leakage radiation. An active device...

Nikita Arnold Seminar
Electrodynamic description of a spaser: shape, size, modes, minimal threshold and saturation A spaser is a nano-optical light generator utilizing plasmonic modes of metallic nano-particles (NP). Its similarities with the conventional laser are discussed within an electrodynamic framework. Methods to decrease the threshold for optical pumping by varying the NP shape, size, and spasing modes are considered. Universal dependences, figures of merit, and the role of saturation are illustrated...

Pierre-Emmanuel Gaillardon Seminar
Exploiting unconventional physical properties, several nanodevices showed an alternative to Moore’s Law by the increase of their functionality rather than the pure scaling. Innovative device behaviors transduce to new circuit/architecture opportunities. In the field of nanoelectronics, a technology-design co-integration approach is necessary. Such approach simultaneously covers the design of the technology and the application circuits, in order to jointly adapt them to the targeted...
