Engineering plasmonic light scattering with thin dielectric films: towards enhanced light trapping and novel sensing elements

<p>Plasmonic research is becoming increasingly focused on the integration of noble metal nanostructures with planar devices to enhance their performance. Whilst the physics of noble metal nanoparticles at a simple interface is well studied, their behaviour inside a thin film structure is not....
