We solve the Maxwell and heat equations self-consistently for metal nanoparticles under intense continuous wave (CW) illumination. Unlike previous studies, we rely on {\em experimentally}-measured data for the metal permittivity for…

The realm of latent heat storage has witnessed emergence of optical charging as a promising route of solar thermal latent heat storage. However, it is still in its initial stages of development and warrants further investigations to take it…

We consider the statistics of density number of filaments for the propagation of a laser beam subjected to multiple filamentation in a closed area with reflecting boundaries. Dissipation arrests the catastrophic collapse of filaments,…

We measure pressure and entropy of ultracold fermionic atoms in an optical lattice for a range of interaction strengths, temperatures and fillings. Our measurements demonstrate that, for low enough temperatures, entropy-rich regions form…

We experimentally investigate the back-scattering properties of an array of atoms that is evanescently coupled to an optical nanofiber in the strongly non-paraxial regime. We observe that the power and the polarization of the back-scattered…

Size effects on vibrational modes in complex crystals remain largely unexplored, despite their importance in a variety of electronic and energy conversion technologies. Enabled by advances in a four-probe thermal transport measurement…

By coupling silicon nanowires (~150 nm diameter, 20 micron length) with an {\Omega}-shaped plasmonic nanocavity we are able to generate broadband visible luminescence, which is induced by high-order hybrid nanocavity-surface plasmon modes.…

The study of metallic nanoparticles has a long tradition in linear and nonlinear optics [1], with current emphasis on the ultrafast dynamics, size, shape and collective effects in their optical response [2-6]. Nanoparticles also represent…

Simulations have been carried out to establish how electron thermal physics, introduced in the form of a dynamic electron temperature, affects isolated filament motion and dynamics in 3D. It is found that thermal effects impact filament…

We fabricated GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots by droplet epitaxy method, and obtained the geometries of the dots from scanning transmission electron microscopy data. Post-thermal annealing is essential for the optical activation of quantum dots…

Doppler cooling is a widely used technique to laser cool atoms and nanoparticles exploiting the Doppler shift involved in translational transformations. The rotational Doppler effect arising from rotational coordinate transformations should…

Arrays of metallic nanoparticles support individual and collective plasmonic excitations that contribute to unusual phenomena like surface enhanced Raman scattering, anomalous transparency, negative index, and subwavelength resolution in…

We present a basic framework for modeling collective mode effects in photocurrent measurements performed on two-dimensional materials using nano-optical scanned probes. We consider photothermal, photovoltaic, and bolometric contributions to…

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…

We study the collective phenomenon in the scattering of a single-photon by one or two layers of two-level atoms. By modeling the photon dispersion with a two-dimensional (2D) coupled cavity array, we analytically derive the scattering…

Temperature influences the performance of two-dimensional materials in optoelectronic devices. Indeed, the optical characterization of these materials is usually realized at room temperature. Nevertheless most {\it ab-initio} studies are…

We review a series of works describing thermoelectric effects in gated disordered nanowires (field effect transistor device configuration). After considering the elastic coherent regime characterizing sub-Kelvin temperatures, we study the…

Segregation at surfaces of metal-covalent binary liquids is often non-classical and in extreme cases such as AuSi, the surface crystallizes above the melting point. In this study, we employ atomic-scale computational frameworks to study the…

Strong light-matter interactions in both the single-emitter and collective strong coupling regimes attract significant attention due to emerging quantum and nonlinear optics applications, as well as opportunities for modifying…

We compare the two-dimensional (2D) plasmon dispersion relations for monolayer graphene when the sample is doped with carriers in the conduction band and the temperature $T$ is zero with the case when the temperature is finite and there is…
