We demonstrate propagation of plasmons in single crystalline silver nanostructures fabricated using a combination of a bottom-up and a top-down approach. Silver nanoplates of thickness around 65 nm and a surface area of about 100 \mu m^2…
The two-photon luminescence (TPL) of gold nanoparticles (NP) was shown to result from the excitation of hot carriers, the plasmonic NP resonances playing an important role both for plasmon enhanced absorption and plasmon enhanced emission.…
A fully relativistic description of the electron energy loss and the induced radiation emission in arbitrary arrays of non-overlapping metallic cylinders is presented in terms of the multiple scattering method on the basis of vector…
Mechanical properties of a nanomechanical resonator have a significant impact on the performance of a resonant Nano-electromechanical system (NEMS) device. Here we study the mechanical properties of suspended membranes fabricated out of…
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…
In order to investigate the origin of the phase transition observed in NaV$_2$O$_5$, as well as its electronic structure, we have measured Raman intensities as a function of the laser wavelength above and below the phase transition…
Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) describes a suite of techniques for characterising electronic systems, with applications in physics, materials science, chemistry, and biology. However, the requirement for large electron spin ensembles in…
According to the hydrodynamic Drude model, surface-plasmon resonances of metallic nanostructures blueshift owing to the nonlocal response of the metal's electron gas. The screening length characterising the nonlocal effect is often small…
Two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has attracted large attentions as platforms for realizations for integrated nanophotonics and collective effort has been focused on the spin defect centers. Here, the temperature dependence of…
Understanding light-matter interactions using localized surface plasmons (LSPs) is of fundamental interest in classical and quantum plasmonics and has a wide range of applications. In order to understand the spatial properties of LSPs,…
We explore the collective electronic excitations of bilayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$) using the density functional theory together with the random phase approximation. The many-body dielectric function and electron energy-loss spectra…
Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effects on tin dioxide in the form of bulk material, nanostructured thin films and colloidal solutions were investigated. Raman spectra are characterized by the three Raman scattering peaks at 478,…
We report on time-resolved coherent diffraction imaging of gas-phase silver nanoparticles, strongly heated via their plasmon resonance. The x-ray diffraction images reveal a broad range of phenomena for different excitation strengths, from…
The temperature increase and temperature gradients induced by mid-infrared laser illumination of vertical gold nanoantenna arrays embedded into polymer layers was measured directly with a photothermal expansion nanoscope. Nanoscale thermal…
The localized surface plasmon resonance of metallic nanostructures produces strongly localized and enhanced near-field light, significantly contributing to nanophotonics research and applications. Plasmon nanofocusing represents another…
Progress in electron-beam spectroscopies has recently enabled the study of optical excitations with combined space, energy and time resolution in the nanometer, millielectronvolt and femtosecond domain, thus providing unique access into…
Surface plasmons on metals can concentrate light into sub-nanometric volumes and on these near atomic length scales the electronic response at the metal interface is smeared out over a Thomas-Fermi screening length. This nonlocality is a…
Few inventions have shaped the world like the incandescent bulb. While Edison used thermal radiation from ohmically heated conductors, some noble metals exhibit "cold" electroluminescence (EL) in percolation films, tunnel diodes,…
The consequences of the non-Drude charge response in the normal state of cuprates and the effect of the layered structure on electron-energy loss spectra are investigated, both for experiments in the transmission and the reflection mode. It…
We report a detailed study of the strong near-field Raman scattering enhancement which takes place in tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) in indium nitride. In addition to the well-known first-order optical phonons of indium nitride,…
