Plasmonic resonances in metallic nanogaps can confine light into nanometric regions, but reaching modes of volume $\approx 1$ nm$^3$ remains challenging. We present a detailed theoretical analysis of the optical modes of an…
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 develop a theory to model the interaction of graphene substrate with localized plasmon resonances in metallic nanoparticles. The influence of a graphene substrate on the surface plasmon resonances is described using an effective…
In graphene growth, island symmetry can become lower than the intrinsic symmetries of both graphene and the substrate. First-principles calculations and Monte Carlo modeling explain the shapes observed in our experiments and earlier studies…
Surface plasmon, with its unique capability to concentrate light into sub-wavelength volume, has enabled great advances in photon science, ranging from nano-antenna and single-molecule Raman scattering to plasmonic waveguide and…
With the help of a theoretical model and finite-difference-time-domain simulations based on the hydrodynamic-Maxwell model, we examine the effect of difference frequency generation in an array of L-shaped metal nano-particles characterized…
We report on the investigation of plasmonic resonances in metallic M\"obius nanorings. Half-integer numbers of resonant modes are observed due to the presence of an extra phase {\pi} provided by the topology of the M\"obius nanostrip.…
We study light-beam propagation in a nonlinear coupler with an asymmetric double-channel waveguide and derive various analytical forms of optical modes. The results show that the symmetry-preserving modes in a symmetric double-channel…
We point out that plasmons in doped graphene simultaneously enable low-losses and significant wave localization for frequencies below that of the optical phonon branch $\hbar\omega_{Oph}\approx 0.2$ eV. Large plasmon losses occur in the…
Surface deformations of optical cavities and plasmonic nanoparticles are inevitable in nanophotonics. The random morphology changes of different realizations modify the associated resonance frequencies and quality factors, which may be…
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of nonlinear light-matter interactions in a three-dimensional gold-polymer hybrid metasurface. In contrast to conventional two-dimensional designs, which by symmetry may support…
Photonics and optoelectronics are at the foundations of widespread technologies, from high-speed Internet to systems for artificial intelligence, automotive LiDAR, and optical quantum computing. Light enables ultrafast speeds and low energy…
The elementary excitations of skyrmion crystals experience both emergent magnetic fields and anharmonic interactions brought about by the topologically nontrivial noncollinear texture. The resulting flat bands cause strong spontaneous…
One-dimensional quantum systems that undergo spontaneous symmetry-breaking, having a symmetric (non-degenerate) and a broken-symmetry (doubly-degenerate) phase, have been intensely studied in different branches of physics. In most cases,…
The interaction of electromagnetic waves with metallic nanostructures generates resonant oscillations of the conduction-band electrons at the metal surface. These resonances can lead to large enhancements of the incident field and to 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 propose a new mechanism of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. The existence of extra dimensions with nontrivial topology plays an important role. We investigate new features resulted from the mechanism in two simple supersymmetric Z_2…
We study the dynamics and the relaxation of bulk plasmons in strongly coupled and quantum critical systems using the holographic framework. We analyze the dispersion relation of the plasmonic modes in detail for an illustrative class of…
We discuss spontaneous symmetry breaking of open classical and quantum systems. When a continuous symmetry is spontaneously broken in an open system, a gapless excitation mode appears corresponding to the Nambu-Goldstone mode. Unlike…
Since the latter half of the 20th century, the use of metal in optics has become a promising plasmonics field for controlling light at a deep subwavelength scale. Surface plasmon polaritons localized on metal surfaces are crucial in…
