We apply the time-dependent local-spin-density approximation as general theory to describe ground states and spin-density oscillations in the linear response regime of two-dimensional nanostructures of arbitrary shape. For this purpose, a…
Bimetallic nanoparticles are widely studied, for example in catalysis. However, possible restructuring in the environment of use, such as segregation or alloying, may occur. Taken individually, state-of-the-art analytical tools fail to give…
Two possible mechanisms of surface plasmon (SP) oscillations damping in metallic nanoparticles (MNPs), not connected with electron-phonon interaction are investigated theoretically: a) the radiation damping of SP, b) resonant coupling of SP…
We theoretically investigate the collective emission of one and two circular arrays of two-level atoms surrounding an optical nanofiber. We show that the radiation eigenmodes of a single ring selectively couple to specific guided modes of…
We report a computational study, using the "moments method" [Y. Gao and M. Daw, Modelling Simul. Mater. Sci. Eng. 23 045002 (2015)], of the anharmonicity of the vibrational modes of single-walled carbon nanotubes. We find that modes with…
Understanding and controlling the flow of heat is a major challenge in nanoelectronics. When a junction is driven out of equilibrium by light or the flow of electric charge, the vibrational and electronic degrees of freedom are, in general,…
Theoretical description of oscillations of electron liquid in large metallic nanospheres (with radius of few tens nm) is formulated within random-phase-approximation semiclassical scheme. Spectrum of plasmons is determined including both…
The spectrum of acoustic vibrational modes of an inhomogeneous elastic continuum are analyzed with application to a spherical nanoparticle embedded in an infinite glass block. The relationship of these modes to the discrete vibrational…
We explore the malleability of ultra-small metal nanoparticles by means of ab initio calculations. It is revealed that, when strained, such nanoparticles exhibit complex behavior, including bifurcation between slow and fast quakes of their…
Based on Monte Carlo (MC) computer simulations we study the structure formation of a system of magnetic nanorods. Our model particles consist of fused spheres with permanent magnetic dipole moments, as inspired by recent experiments. The…
Hyperbolic materials offer a much wider freedom in designing optical properties of nanostructures than ones with isotropic and elliptical dispersion, both metallic or dielectric. Here, we present a detailed theoretical and numerical study…
We comprehensively study mechanical and vibrational properties of dimer packings in three-dimensional space with particular attention on critical scaling behaviors near the jamming transition. First, we confirm the dependence of the packing…
We investigate the effect of free electrons on the quality factor (Q) of a metallic nanomechanical resonator in the form of a thin elastic beam. The flexural and longitudinal modes of the beam are modeled using thin beam elasticity theory,…
We explore the dynamics of spiral spin waves in Permalloy nano-elements with variable aspect ratio of geometric dimensions, and their potential use as improved spin wave emitters with no or little biasing field required. Numerical results…
Core-satellite structures are known to exhibit magnetic modes at optical frequencies and their characterization is important for the development of metamaterials and metafluids. We develop a finite-difference time-domain electrodynamics…
We conduct experiments on two-dimensional packings of colloidal thermosensitive hydrogel particles whose packing fraction can be tuned above the jamming transition by varying the temperature. By measuring displacement correlations between…
A metal film supports the continuum of propagating surface plasmon waves. The interaction of these waves with a dipole (nanoparticle) positioned some distance from the surface of the film can produce well defined localized plasmon modes…
We investigated the plasmonic modes in a two-dimensional quasicrystalline array of metal nanoparticles. The polarization of the modes is in the array plane. A simplified eigen-decomposition method is presented with the help of rotational…
We develop a computational method for evaluating the damping of vibrational modes in mono-atomic metallic chains suspended between bulk crystals under external strain. The damping is due to the coupling between the chain and contact modes…
We develop a simple continuum model to analyze the vibrational modes of a nanomechanical multi-element structure. In this model, arrays of sub-micron cantilevers located symmetrically on both sides of the central clamped-clamped nanobeam…
