Report Introduction:

In this talk, I will report some of our recent studies on optical properties of nanostructures by computer simulation combined with experiments. Results presented including: Universal scaling and Fano resonance in the Plasmon coupled gold nanorods; Observation of three different kinds of Fano resonances in metal–dielectric core–shell nanoparticle clusters; Spectral tuning by nanoantenna.

Speaker:

Prof. Lin got his PhD degree in Physics in 1987 at the University of California, San Diego, America. He had been appointed to work as a research associate in the U.S. Brookhaven National Laboratory from 1987 to 1989 and in the Los Alamos National Laboratory from 1989 to 1991. From 1991 Oct. to 1995 Jul. he worked in the Department of Physics for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as a research assistant professor. After 1995 Aug., he was the professor of the Department of Physics in Chinese University of Hong Kong. Since 2009 Aug., he worked as the director of China Academy of Engineering Physics and the Beijing Computational Science Research Center. From 2009 Jul. to2011 Jul. he was appointed to be the president of Hong Kong Institute of Physics. In addition, he is now the executive editor for International Journal of Modern Physics( taking charge the Asia area), the subeditor for Communication in Computational Physics, the editorial board member of Frontiers of Physics in China, the editorial board member of Chinese Physics Letter, the editorial board member of Physics, the overseas advisory experts in Chinese Academy of Science, and the member of academic council in Physics Institute of Chinese Academy of Science. His research focuses on the strongly correlated systems, quantum entanglement and quantum phase transitions, as well as the numerical methods of multi-body system etc. In 2003, his contribution on the calculation method of the development and application of the many-body quantum problem made him to become the fellow of American Physics Society. In the same year, he won the National Class B Outstanding Youth Fund. In the 2009, he was hired as a distinguished professor for National “One Thousands Project”.
