Switching codes and designs
Get PDFAbstractVarious local transformations of combinatorial structures (codes, designs, and related structures) that leave the basic parameters unaltered are here unified under the principle of switching. The purpose of the study is threefold: presentation of the switching principle, unification of earlier results (including a new result for covering codes), and applying switching exhaustively to some common structures with small parameters
Gold/graphene fractals as tunable plasmonic devices
Get PDFGraphene, an atomically thin sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb geometry, is attracting unique attention thanks to its extraordinary mechanical, electrical and optical properties. This thesis work concerns the realization of graphene-based nanoscale devices for novel plasmonic applications. We focus mainly on gold/graphene (Au/G) structures designed to display plasmonic multiresonances in the visible range thanks to the nanostructure geometry based on the Sierpinski carpet (SC) deterministic fractal
