In this chapter, we present a set of applications that exploit

surface plasmon (SP) generation, propagation, and concentration.

We discuss howplasmonic properties ofmetallic nanostructures can

be utilized in different fields, including nanoscale energy delivery,

hot electrons generation, hybrid metal-semiconductor systems, and

biosensing.
