Highly lossy nature of metals has severely limited the scope of practical applications of plasmonics. The conventional approach to circumvent this limitation has been to search for new materials with more favorable dielectric properties…

Based on a semi-empirical generalized Anderson-Newns model we construct a pseudo-particle description for electron emission due to de-excitation of metastable molecules at surfaces. The pseudo-particle approach allows us to treat resonant…
