The rapidly advancing field of magneto-plasmonics merges co ncepts from plasmonics and magnetism. This fusion gives rise to novel and unexpected phenomena and functionalities for manipulating light and magnet ism at the nanoscale.\n\nIn this talk\, I present a survey of phenomena an d applications across various emerging technologies\, showcasing the vast scientific and technological potential of this field.\n\n- Owing to the in tertwined optical and magneto-optical properties\, magnetoplasmonics provi des a versatile toolkit for creating actively tunable optical ultrathin su rfaces and metasurfaces. Here\, I discuss recent advancements in magnetopl asmonic nanoantennas and two-dimensional magnetoplasmonic crystals. On one hand\, these developments enhance our understanding and control of optics at the nanoscale. On the other hand\, magnetoplasmonic nanoantennas and s urfaces are paving the way for applications in a variety of cutting-edge t echnologies\, including ultrasensitive molecular sensing and ultrathin opt ical devices\n\n- Thermoplasmonics\, the use of plasmonic nanoparticles as nanoscale heat sources that can be remotely controlled by light\, has eme rged as a dynamic and expanding research area. It offers a unique and adap table approach for rapidly modulating temperature and creating high temper ature gradients with nanoscale spatial precision. When combined with magne tism\, these capabilities enable selective heating through optical degrees of freedom\, facilitating in-depth investigations of nanostructured magne tic metamaterials and opening opportunities for a new class of ultra-low e nergy opto-nanomagnetic logic devices suitable for in-memory computing.\n\ n- Moreover\, the ability of localized plasmons to generate intense and hi ghly localized electromagnetic and magnetic fields heralds exciting possib ilities for the optical control of magnetism.\n\nRoom: 4-A014\, Bldg: Inst itut Jean Lamour \, 5 Allee Guinier\, Nancy\, Lorraine\, France\, 54011 LOCATION:Room: 4-A014\, Bldg: Institut Jean Lamour \, 5 Allee Guinier\, Nan cy\, Lorraine\, France\, 54011 ORGANIZER:stephane.mangin@univ-lorraine.fr SEQUENCE:13 SUMMARY:Magneto-plasmonics URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/547005 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span lang="EN-U S">Biography</span></strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span lang= "EN-US">&nbsp\;</span></strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-U S">Dr. Vavassori received his M.Sc. in Electronic Engineering in 1990 at t he Politecnico of Milan (Italy) and his PhD in physics studying electronic correlation in condensed matter. </span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In 1995\, he became a postdoctoral fellow at the University o f Ferrara and later\, in 1997\, he joined the magnetism group of the Mater ials Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory (Chicago)\, where he led a project at the Materials Science Division of the Argonne National La boratory (Chicago\, USA) focused on nanostructured magnetic arrays and the ir application as a new generation of high-density magnetic memories.
