Dr. Zerulla is the founding member and principal investigator of the UCD Plasmonics and Ultra-fast NanoOptics group since his arrival in October 2004. Previously, following his studies in Physics (HHUD) and a PhD in Physical Chemistry (Wilhelm Ostwald Instiute, University of Leipzig, Germany) he was the leader of the Biophotonics group at the Heinrich-Heine-University in Düsseldorf, Germany, where he made his Habilitation in the same group that developed the first optical configuration for surface plasmon polariton excitation. Furthermore, he was a visiting Professor for Advanced Optics at the Astrakhan State University, Russia before he joined UCD in 2004. Dominic authored four book chapters, more than 94 articles, reports & letters in the fields of Surface Science, Nano Optics, and Plasmonics and he has given more than 110 talks in international conferences and universities. He is a key investigator in the SFI Strategic Research Cluster on Solar Energy Conversion (SRC SEC) and has been PI on a number of further SFI, Enterprise Ireland and international grants, and he was awarded the UCD EMPS Teaching Award in 2008. |
| Surface Plasmons (SPs) are electromagnetic excitations coupled to electron oscillations propagating along a metal-dielectric interface. [1] They are essentially light waves that are trapped on the surface as a result of interactions between the illuminating wave and the free electrons of the conductor, and are called Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs) to reflect this hybrid nature. In their simplest form, an SPPs are an electromagnetic excitation that propagates in a wave like fashion along the planar interface between materials with dielectric functions of opposite sign (metal and dielectric), and whose amplitude decays exponentially with increasing distance into each medium from the interface. Plasmonics Further Topics: - Spin Plasmonics - Nearfield Imaging - Nanooptics - Ultrafast Imaging/Spectroscopy - 3d-scattering, Raman Spectroscopy - Non linear interactions - light -matter interactions -Carbon Nanotubes
