ABSTRACT
To precisely engineer light-matter interactions at the nanoscale with electron-hole pairs (excitons), and their coupling with photons (exciton-polaritons), is becoming increasingly important in contemporary research in nanoscience. Materials with nanoscale features have the potential to revolutionize optoelectronics, permitting new and interesting devices and system capabilities. One key design element is the geometry, i.e., size and shape, which defines the properties of the nanostructured material and which connects to the possibility to design new and significantly improved physical, electrical, and optical properties. Excitons represent one such important property that can be dictated by the size and the shape of a nanostructure in which they are confined, in addition to the material constitution of the nanostructure.
