Interactions of Gold Plasmons and Vanadium Dioxide

The focus of this dissertation is the interaction of gold (Au) plasmonic structures and the phase change material vanadium dioxide (VO2). Vanadium dioxide modifies the local surface plasmon resonance of an Au nanoparticles and the local surface plasmon can also act as a probe of the VO2 optical prop...
