Опис навчальної дисципліни

The discipline is designed to provide graduate students with the necessary knowledge related to the development of modern electronics – nanoplasmonics, which combines nanometer sizes of elements and optical frequencies of their operation.

In particular, various approaches to modeling the phenomena that form the scientific basis of nanoplasmonics: surface plasmon resonance are considered. Issues related to the generation of nanoparticles of different shapes and fractal clusters formed by them, measurement of fractal dimension are considered.

Real and computer experiments are compared and their relationship with theoretical research and modeling. The main types of computer experiments are analyzed – the Monte Carlo method and the method of molecular dynamics.

The purpose of the course is to provide students with knowledge of the latest field of electronics – nanoplasmonics, and the use of modern methods for calculating and modeling the processes underlying nanoplasmonics. Studying the course will contribute to the formation of a modern scientific worldview of graduate students.

Upon completion of this course the student will
