We study the surface plasmon (SP) resonance energy of isolated spherical Ag nanoparticles dispersed on a silicon nitride substrate in the diameter range 3.5-26 nm with monochromated electron energy-loss spectroscopy. A significant blueshift…
We study the blueshift of the surface plasmon (SP) resonance energy of isolated Ag nanoparticles with decreasing particle diameter, which we recently measured using electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). As the particle diameter…
In electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) of individual silver nanoparticles encapsulated in silicon nitride, we observe besides the usual dipole resonance an additional surface plasmon (SP) resonance corresponding to higher angular…
We present an electron energy loss study using energy filtered TEM of spatially resolved surface plasmon excitations on a silver nanorod of aspect ratio 14.2 resting on a 30 nm thick silicon nitride membrane. Our results show that the…
We have investigated the effects of tuning the localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) of silver nanoparticles on the fluorescence intensity, lifetime, and Raman signal from nearby fluorophores. The presence of a metallic structure can…
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…
Damping rates of multipolar, localized surface plasmons (SP) of gold and silver nanospheres of radii up to $1000nm$ were found with the tools of classical electrodynamics. The significant increase in damping rates followed by noteworthy…
A quantum-mechanical model to calculate the electron energy-loss spectra (EELS) for the system of a closely located metallic nanoshell and a molecule has been developed. At the resonance between the molecular excitation and plasmon modes in…
We develop a theoretical model of the surface plasmon resonance of metallic nanospheres in the size range down to the single nanometer size. Within this model we explicitly show how different microscopic mechanisms, namely quantization due…
Localized surface plasmons are charge density oscillations confined to metallic nanoparticles. Excitation of localized surface plasmons by an electromagnetic field at an incident wavelength where resonance occurs results in a strong light…
The ability to engineer localized surface plasmon resonances at large scale usually relies on precise nanoscale patterning. Here, we demonstrate that mid-infrared plasmonic responses can instead emerge in unpatterned polysilicon films…
Inspired by recent measurements on individual metallic nanospheres that can not be explained with traditional classical electrodynamics, we theoretically investigate the effects of nonlocal response by metallic nanospheres in three distinct…
Electron microscopy techniques such as electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) facilitate the spatio-spectral characterization of plasmonic nanostructures. In this work, a time-dependent perspective is presented, which significantly…
In this paper we provide a mathematical framework for localized plasmon resonance of nanoparticles. Using layer potential techniques associated with the full Maxwell equations, we derive small-volume expansions for the electromagnetic…
Electromagnetic theory predicts that the optimal value of the localized plasmon resonance (LPR) wavelength for the maximal SERS enhancement factor (EF) is half the sum of the laser and Raman wavelengths. For small Raman shifts, the…
Localized surface plasmon resonances have recently attracted considerable attention due to their ability to dramatically enhance near-field optical intensities and boost nanoscale light-matter interactions. Here we demonstrate unambiguously…
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…
Near surface silver nanoparticles embedded in silicon oxide were obtained by 40 keV silver negative ion implantation without the requirement of an annealing step. Ion beam induced local heating within the film leads to an exo-diffusion of…
A many-body Green's function approach to the microscopic theory of plasmon-enhanced spectroscopy is presented within the context of localized surface-plasmon resonance spectroscopy and applied to investigate the coupling between…
Localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) have recently been identified in extremely diluted electron systems obtained by doping semiconductor quantum dots. Here we investigate the role that different surface effects, namely electronic…
