We introduce an effect of metallization of dielectric nanofilms by strong, adiabatically varying electric fields. The metallization causes optical properties of a dielectric film to become similar to those of a plasmonic metal (strong…
The combination of single photon emitters (quantum dots) and tailored metal nanoparticles with defined size and shape allows a detailed study of the interaction between light and matter. The enhanced optical near-field of the nanoparticles…
For the metallic nanoparticles, smaller than the free electron path, an impact of the particle's surface on the nonlocal effects emerging is shown. Light-induced current inside the particle begins to depend on the spatial derivatives of the…
The spontaneous emission of radiation of metallic electrons embedded in a high-intensity enhanced surface plasmon field is considered analytically. The electrons are described by exact dressed quantum states which contain the interaction…
We utilize experimental tools such as conductive atomic force microscopy and electrostatic force microscopy on photo-excited arrays of gold nanoparticles on indium tin oxide substrate. The nanoparticles are partially covered by a thin…
Above-threshold light emission from plasmonic tunnel junctions, when emitted photons have energies significantly higher than the energy scale of the incident electrons, has attracted much recent interest in nano-optics, while the underlying…
Metal nanoparticles are attractive for plasmon-enhanced generation of hot carriers, which may be harnessed in photochemical reactions. In this work, we analyze the coherent femtosecond dynamics of photon absorption, plasmon formation, and…
The optical and plasmonic properties of metal-dielectric nanoeggs were investigated in this study. Frequency dependencies of polarizability, absorption and scattering cross-sections, and radiation efficiency were determined. Expressions…
We find that the spontaneous and collective emissions have a strong influence on the excitation of two-level absorbers (atoms, molecules) interacting in resonance with the plasmonic mode near the metal nanoparticle. The spontaneous and…
We investigate theoretically the optical properties associated to plasmon resonances of metal nanowires with cross section given by low-order Chebyshev nanoparticles (like rounded-tip nanostars or nanoflowers). The impact of the nanoflower…
We simulate the localized surface plasmon resonances of an Au nanoparticle within tunneling proximity of a Au substrate and demonstrate that the modes may be identified with those responsible for light emission from a scanning tunneling…
Leveraging thermal losses as a useful consequence of surface plasmons in metal nanostructures has gained traction in recent years. This thermalization of hot electrons also induces a resistance change to an applied bias current, which we…
Plasmonic nanoparticles influence the absorption and emission processes of nearby emitters due to local enhancements of the illuminating radiation and the photonic density of states. Here, we use the plasmon resonance of metal nanoparticles…
Understanding light-matter interaction at the nanoscale requires probing the optical properties of matter at the individual nano-absorber level. To this end, we have developed a nanomechanical photothermal sensing platform that can be used…
The relations for the polarizability of the metallic nanoparticles, coated with the shell of cyanine dyes, are obtained in the article. The frequency dependencies for light absorption and scattering efficiencies, the heating of the…
The electronic environment causes decoherence and dissipation of the collective surface plasmon excitation in metallic nanoparticles. We show that the coupling to the electronic environment influences the width and the position of the…
We study the blackbody spectrum from slabs of three-dimensional metallodielectric photonic crystals consisting of gold nanoparticles using an ab initio multiple-scattering method. The spectra are calculated for different photonic-crystal…
We investigate the dynamics of a plasmonic oscillation over a metal nanoparticle when it is strongly coupled to a quantum emitter (e.g. quantum dot, molecule). We simulate the density matrix evolution for a simple model; coupled…
Intense electromagnetic evanescent fields are thermally excited in near fields on material surfaces (at distances smaller than the wavelength of peak thermal radiation). The property of the fields is of strong interest for it is…
Biofilm templated gold nanonetwork provide a platform to study the transition of local plasmon to a surface plasmon. The switch from localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) to surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is induced by the percolation…
