Accurate characterization of plasmonic materials' dispersion and efficiency remains a key challenge for next-generation nanophotonic devices. Here, we theoretically demonstrate that the plasmon dispersion relation at a metal-dielectric…

Surface plasmon polaritons (plasmons) are a combination of light and a collective oscillation of the free electron plasma at metal-dielectric interfaces. This interaction allows sub-wavelength confinement of light, beyond the diffraction…

The effect of nonlocality on the optical response of metals lies at the forefront of research in nanoscale physics and, in particular, quantum plasmonics. In alkali metals, nonlocality manifests predominantly as electron density spill-out…

The optical response of a matter excitation embedded in nanophotonic devices is commonly described by the Drude-Lorentz model. Here, we demonstrate that this widely used approach fails in the case where quantum-confined plasmons of a…

Gap plasmonics deals with the properties of surface plasmons in the narrow region between two metallic nanoparticles forming the gap. For sub-nanometer gap distances electrons can tunnel between the nanoparticles leading to the emergence of…

Metamaterials and plasmonics are powerful tools for unconventional manipulation and harnessing of light. Metamaterials can be engineered to possess intriguing properties lacking in natural materials, such as negative refractive index.…

The common feature of various plasmonic schemes is their ability to confine optical fields of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) into sub-wavelength volumes and thus achieve a large enhancement of linear and nonlinear optical properties.…

The interaction of free electrons with electromagnetic excitation is the fundamental mechanism responsible for ultra-strong confinement of light that, in turn, enables biosensing, near-field microscopy, optical cloaking, sub-wavelength…

Plasmonic resonance of a metallic nanostructure results from coherent motion of its conduction electrons driven by incident light. At the resonance, the induced dipole in the nanostructure is proportional to the number of the conduction…

We present new relations for calculation of phonon polaritons, plasmons and plasmon polaritons frequencies, which differ from the standard relations. So, we study the frequency of phonon polaritons in a two dimensional lattice with…

Noble metal nanoparticles show specific optical properties due to the excitation of localized surface plasmons that make them attractive candidates for highly sensitive bionanosensors. The underlying physical principle is either an…

We show that a metallic plate with fractal-shaped slits can be homogenitized as a plasmonic metamaterial with plasmon frequency dictated by the fractal geometry. Owing to the all-dimensional subwavelength nature of the fractal pattern, our…

We develop an approach to use nanostructured plasmonic materials as a non-magnetic negative-refractive index system at optical and near-infrared frequencies. In contrast to conventional negative refraction materials, our design does not…

The classical Drude model provides an accurate description of the plasma resonance of three-dimensional materials, but only partially explains two-dimensional systems where quantum mechanical effects dominate such as P:$\delta$-layers -…

Multipolar plasmon oscillation frequencies and corresponding damping rates for nanospheres formed of the simplest free-electron metals are studied. The possibility of controlling plasmon features by choosing the size and dielectric…

In this work, the plasmonic properties of nanoparticle dimers with optical responses over a wide spectral range have been investigated by varying the inter-particle gap, dimer geometry, gap morphology, nanoparticle composition, and…

Plasmonics can be used to improve absorption in optoelectronic devices and has been intensively studied for solar cells and photodetectors. Graphene has recently emerged as a powerful plasmonic material. It shows significantly less losses…

The applications of plasmonics to energy transfer from free-space radiation to molecules are currently limited to the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum due to the intrinsic optical properties of bulk noble metals that support…

This work investigates the problematic diffusion of metal atoms into phase change chalcogenides, which can destroy resonances in photonic devices. Interfaces between Ge2Sb2Te5 and metal layers were studied using X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and…

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…
