Topics in Theoretical and Computational Nanoscience: From Controlling Light at the Nanoscale to Calculating Quantum Effects with Classical Electrodynamics

Interest in structures with nanometer-length features has significantly increased as experimental techniques for their fabrication have become possible. The study of phenomena in this area is termed nanoscience, and is a research focus of chemists, pure and applied physics, electrical engineers, and others. The reason for such a focus is the wide range of novel effects that exist at this scale, both of fundamental and practical interest, which often arise from the interaction between metall...
