Metallic metamaterials and plasmonics

• 9.00am – 6.00pm on 02 June 2010 – 03 June 2010
• at The Kavli Royal Society International Centre, Buckinghamshire

Organised by Professor Bill Barnes, Professor Nader Engheta, Dr Alastair Hibbins and Professor Roy Sambles FRS

Our ability to control and harness light is undergoing a revolution, one that exploits the special properties of metals and our ability to structure them on a sub-wavelength scale.These plasmonic and metallic metamaterials provide challenges for physicists and engineers that demand a multi-disciplinary approach. This meeting brings together scientists from different sub-disciplines to exchange knowledge and forge new ideas.

Speakers and chairs include:
Professor Harry Atwater, Professor Bill Barnes, Professor Nader Engheta, Dr Wolfgang Fritzsche, Professor Kobus Kuipers, Professor Mikhail Lukin, Professor Paul Mulvaney, Professor Lukas Novotny, Professor Sir John Pendry FRS, Professor David Smith, Professor Mark Stockman, Professor Martin Wegener and Professor Xiang Zhang.

Biographies are available to view here.

Audio recordings are now available to download.

The proceedings of this meeting are scheduled to be published in a future issue of Philosophical Transactions A.
