For plasmonic nanoparticles, we investigate the influence of surface roughness inherent to top-down fabrication on the optical properties, and find that it has a surprisingly small influence on the position and width of the plasmon peaks.…
Relating microstructure to properties, electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal and their couplings has been a major focus of mechanics, physics and materials science. The majority of the literature focuses on deriving homogenized constitutive…
Surface roughness influences significantly the quality factor of high frequency nanoresonators for large frequency - relaxation times within the non-Newtonian regime, where a purely elastic dynamics develops. It is shown that the influence…
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…
In "Modeling and observation of mid-infrared nonlocality in effective epsilon-near-zero ultranarrow coaxial apertures" the authors perform infrared transmission measurements on coaxial aperture arrays in metal films. They claim that the…
We investigate the surface roughness influence on the gain from parametric amplification in nanoresonators in presence of thermomechanical and momentum exchange noise. The roughness is characterized by the rms amplitude w, the correlation…
We investigate initially the influence of thermomechanical and momentum exchange noise on the limit to mass sensitivity of nanoresonators with random rough surfaces, which are characterized by the roughness amplitude, the correlation…
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…
Nanomechanical resonators have recently been highlighted because of their remarkable ability to perform the sensing and detection. Since the nanomechanical resonators are characterized by large surface-to-volume ratio, it is implied that…
Different periodical Frequency Selective Surfaces(FSS) whose unit cell are the Split Ring Resonators (SRR) or related geometries and their corresponding complementary screens were studied. This kind of FSS, sometimes called metasurfaces,…
Since surface acoustic waves (SAW) are often generated on substrates to which nanostrips are periodically attached, it is very important to consider the effect of interface between the deposited strip and the substrate surface, which is an…
The effect of smooth shape changes of metallic nanoparticles on localized surface plasmon resonances is assessed with a boundary integral equation method. The boundary integral equation method allows compact expressions of nanoparticle…
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…
Non-local effects in the optical response of noble metals are shown to produce significant blueshift and near-field quenching of plasmons in nanoparticle dimers, nanoshells, and thin metal waveguides. Compared with a local description…
We study the effect of the electromagnetic environment on the resonance frequency of plasmonic excitations in dimers of interacting metallic nanoparticles. The coupling between plasmons and vacuum electromagnetic fluctuations induces a…
Recent experiments have shown that spatial dispersion may have a conspicuous impact on the response of plasmonic structures. This suggests that in some cases the Drude model should be replaced by more advanced descriptions that take spatial…
How to make a material anti-reflective without changing its high refraction index? Achieving anti-reflection in high-refractive-index materials poses challenges due to their high reflectivity (Fresnel equations). Based on theory with new…
Copper nanolines fabricated by the damascene process are commonly used as interconnects in advanced electronic devices. The copper resistivity increases above the bulk value because of confinement, in detriment of performance. Recent…
Surface roughness elements are commonly used in wind tunnel testing to hasten the laminar-turbulent transition of the boundary layer in model tests to mimic the aerodynamic effects present in the full-scale application. These devices can…
An original setup combining a very stable loading stage, an atomic force microscope and an environmental chamber, allows to obtain very stable sub-critical fracture propagation in oxide glasses under controlled environment, and subsequently…
