摘要: The search for alternative plasmonic materials with improved optical properties, easier fabrication and integration capabilities over those of the traditional such as silver gold could ultimately lead to real-life applications plasmonics metamaterials. In this work, we show that titanium nitride perform an material in visible near-infrared regions. We demonstrate excitation surface-plasmon-polaritons on thin films discuss performance various metamaterial structures component. also provide is comparable can significantly outperform transformation-optics some
