Oxides and nitrides as alternative plasmonic materials in the optical range

Oxides and nitrides as alternative plasmonic materials in the optical range: Gururaj V. Naik, Jongbum Kim, Alexandra Boltasseva
As alternatives to conventional metals, new plasmonic materials offer many advantages in the rapidly growing fields of plasmonics and metamaterials. These advantages include low intrinsic loss, semiconductor-based design, compatibility with standard nanofabrication processes, tunability, and ... [Opt. Mater. Express 1, 1090-1099 (2011)]
