Personal profile
About
Prof. Durach joined Georgia Southern University in 2011.
Research interests
My research group is working in the field of theoretical and computational physics for applications in nanotechnology. My research interests are in the fields of photonics, metamaterials, plasmonics and optoelectronics. My main work is related to the introduction and description of quartic metamaterials, plasmon drag effect, absorption of linear momentum and spin angular momentum of light and plasmons by matter, discrepancy between the Lorentz and Einstein-Laub forces, plasmonic spin and pressure forces, photonic integrals (linear and angular momenta of electromagnetic fields in metamaterials), continuous sine-wave and discontinuous nanorod plasmonic metasurfaces, nanorod metasurfaces that act as an ultimately thin sub-100 nm wave plates, optical neutrality (invisibility) as phase transition between metal-like and dielectric-like metamaterials, metasurface Tamm plasmons and hyperbolic metasurface cavities.
