Expérimental Description
The chiral properties of light and matter will be explored in this project using the tunneling current from a scanning tunneling microscope. In particular, we will use the tunneling-electron excitation of a chiral plasmonic nanoparticle in order to produce an electrical nanoscale source of circularly polarized light.
If you are attracted to the nanosciences and optics, are interested in the interactions of light with matter, and want to use a tangible instrument which exploits quantum mechanics, please contact us for further information!
