In this paper we discuss the field enhancement due to surface plasmons resonances of metallic nanostructures, in particular nano spheres on top of a metal, and find maximum field enhancement of the order of 10^2, intensities enhancement of…

The development of nanoplasmonic devices, such as plasmonic circuits and metamaterial superlenses in the visible to ultraviolet frequency range, is hampered by the lack of low-loss plasmonic media. Recently, strong plasmonic response was…

The use of metamaterial as a way to mitigate the negative effects of absorption in metals on the Purcell effect in metal-dielectric structures is investigated. A layered metal-dielectric structure is considered as an anisotropic medium in…

A graphene sheet gated with a ridged ground plane, creating a soft-boundary (SB) graphene nanoribbon, is considered. By adjusting the ridge parameters and bias voltage a channel can be created on the graphene which can guide TM surface…

We review studies of superintense laser interaction with solid targets where the generation of propagating surface plasmons (or surface waves) plays a key role. These studies include the onset of plasma instabilities at the irradiated…

We develop a theoretical model of the surface plasmon resonance of metallic nanospheres in the size range down to the single nanometer size. Within this model we explicitly show how different microscopic mechanisms, namely quantization due…

The geometric representation at a fixed frequency of the wavevector (or dispersion) surface $\omega(\vec k)$ for lossless, homogeneous dielectric--magnetic uniaxial materials is explored, when the elements of the relative permittivity and…

We investigate the dispersion properties of the acoustic surface waves on surface of elastic metamaterials. With an analytical approach, we show that unconventional acoustic surface waves, with dispersion behaviors very similar to the…

We demonstrate experimentally the generation and near-field imaging of nondiffracting surface waves - plasmonic Airy beams, propagating on the surface of a gold metal film. The Airy plasmons are excited by an engineered nanoscale phase…

Plasmons, which are collective charge oscillations, offer the potential to use optical signals in nano-scale electric circuits. Recently, plasmonics using graphene have attracted interest, particularly because of the tunable plasmon…

Graphene plasmons are rapidly emerging as a viable tool for fast electrical manipulation of light. The prospects for applications to electro-optical modulation, optical sensing, quantum plasmonics, light harvesting, spectral photometry, and…

Metal surfaces with disorder or with nanostructure modifications are studied, allowing for a localized charge layer (CL) in addition to continuous charges (CC) in the bulk, both charges having a compressional or diffusive non-local…

Using our recently proposed Bethe-Salpeter $G_0W_0$ formulation, we explore the optical absorption spectra of fullerene (C$_{60}$) near coinage metal surfaces (Cu, Ag, and Au). We pay special attention to how the surface plasmon $\omega_S$…

The properties of surface plasmons localized at the interface between graphene and kerr-type nonlinear medium in three dimensions are investigated. Compared with surface plasmons at the surface of metal, with the inevitable nonlinear…

We predict the existence of surface plasmons polaritons at the interface between a metal and a periodically modulated dielectric medium, and find an unusual multi-branched dispersion curve of surface and bulk modes. The branches are…

The ability to engineer localized surface plasmon resonances at large scale usually relies on precise nanoscale patterning. Here, we demonstrate that mid-infrared plasmonic responses can instead emerge in unpatterned polysilicon films…

Two dimensional materials offer a path forward for smaller and more efficient devices. Their optical and electronic properties give way to beat the limits set in place by Moore's Law. Plasmon are the collective oscillations of electrons and…

By using numerical and analytical methods, we describe the generation of fine-scale lateral electromagnetic waves, called surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs), on atomically thick, metamaterial conducting sheets in two spatial dimensions (2D).…

Surface plasmons in two-dimensional (2D) electron systems have attracted great attention for their promising light-matter applications. However, the excitation of a surface plasmon, in particular, transverse-electric (TE) surface plasmon,…

In this paper, we predict the existence of low-frequency nonlocal plasmon excitations at the vacuum-surface interface of a superlattice of $N$ graphene layers interacting with a thick conducting substrate. This is different from graphite…
