In this book Sergey Gaponenko, the corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, expertly and comprehensively introduces the key concepts, theory, and experiments that reflect the beauty of the photonic nanoworld. In part 1, "Electrons and Electromagnetic Waves in nanostructures", the author develops and then compares and contrasts wave-optics theory in periodically nanostructured systems and complex media to electron wave mechanics in analogous systems. In part 2, "Light-Matter Interaction in Nanostructures", Gaponenko develops some of the topic's more specialized aspects. For example, in the final chapter, plasmon-based light-scattering enhancement methods are described.
