Plasmon-exciton coupling at the attosecond-subnanometer scale: Tailoring strong light-matter interactions at room temperature
Research Project, 2020
– 2025
This is a research project title focusing on the intense coupling between light and matter at a nanoscale level, achieved by combining plasmons (collective electron oscillations in metals) and excitons (excited states in semiconductors or other materials). The research aims to control these interactions with extreme precision (subnanometer and attosecond timescales) and harness them for applications like advanced solar cells, quantum technology, and photocatalysis, even at room temperature.
