Graphene Optics: Electromagnetic solution of canonical problems (Iop Concise Physics)

This book is a rigorous but concise macroscopic description of the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and structures containing graphene sheets (two-dimensional structures). It presents canonical problems with translational invariant geometries, in which the solution of the original vectorial problem can be reduced to the treatment of two scalar problems, corresponding to two basic polarization modes. The book includes computational problems and makes use of the Python programming language to make numerical calculations accessible to any science student. Many figures within are accompanied by Python scripts.

Ricardo A Depine was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He is a Permanent Professor with the Department of Physics at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), where he leads the research activities of the Applied Electromagnetics Group and teaches courses on classical electrodynamics, waves, photonics and optics and continuum mechanics. He is also Principal Researcher of the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET). His current research activities encompass the electromagnetic response of nanostructures, scattering by rough surfaces, photonic crystals, materials and photonics, plasmonics, and metamaterials.
