Zirconium Nitride: Optical Properties of an Emerging Intermetallic for Plasmonic Applications

Finding new plasmonic materials with prominent optical properties and unique physical and chemical characteristics, which are merits of traditional gold and silver, is of great interest to many applications. This work uses a series of powerful numerical methods, such as density functional theory (DF...
