We study theoretically spectrum of radial vibrational modes in composite metal nanostructures such as bimetallic core-shell particles and metal nanoshells with dielectric core in an environment. We calculate frequencies and damping rates of…
Plasmon-polariton modes in two-dimensional electron gases have a dual field-matter nature that endows them with unusual properties when electrical conductivity exceeds a certain threshold set by the speed of light. In this regime plasmons…
We discuss the effects of double octupole and quadrupole phonon excitations in $^{144}$Sm on fusion reactions between $^{16}$O and $^{144}$Sm at subbarrier energies. The effects of anharmonicities of the vibrational states are taken into…
A promising trend in plasmonics involves shrinking the size of plasmon-supporting structures down to a few nanometers, thus enabling control over light-matter interaction at extreme-subwavelength scales. In this limit, quantum mechanical…
In analogy to the observed for single plasmon-polaritons, we show that subdiffractional hyperbolic phonon-polariton (HP2) modes confined in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanocrystals feature wave-particle duality. First, we use Synchrotron…
Using 24 million $\psi' \equiv \psi(2S)$ decays in CLEO-c, we have searched for higher multipole admixtures in electric-dipole-dominated radiative transitions in charmonia. We find good agreement between our data and theoretical predictions…
The geometric and electronic structures of NaN, CuN, and AgN metal clusters are systematically studied based on the density functional theory over a wide range of cluster sizes 2=<N=<75. A remarkable similarity is observed between the…
We apply the dual-varibles approach to the problem of the optical response of an disordered film of metal particles with dipole-dipole interaction. Long range dipole-dipole interaction makes the effect of spatial correlations significant,…
Second electron affinities of Au_N and Ag_N clusters and the dissociation energies for fission of the Au_N^{2-} and Ag_N^{2-} dianions are calculated using the finite-temperature shell-correction method and allowing for triaxial…
The effect of a magnetic field on the dipole echo amplitude in glasses (at temperatures of about 10 mK) induced by the dipole-dipole interaction of nuclear spins has been theoretically studied. It has been shown that a change in the…
The boson peak (BP) is a universal feature in the Raman and inelastic scattering spectra of both disordered and crystalline materials. The current paradigm presents the boson peak as the result of a Ioffe-Regel crossover between ballistic…
Phonon-phonon anharmonic effects have a strong influence on the phonon spectrum; most prominent manifestation of these effects are the softening (shift in frequency) and broadening (change in FWHM) of the phonon modes at finite temperature.…
We develop a quantitative mathematical theory that offers new perspectives on nonlinear harmonic generation in plasmonic structures arising from symmetry breaking. Focusing on second harmonic generation--the most fundamental process and the…
We develop a general microscopic theory describing the phonon decoherence of quantum dots and indistinguishability of the emitted photons in photonic structures. The coherence is found to depend fundamentally on the dimensionality of the…
Acoustic phonons have recently been posited as playing an integral role in explaining the half-quantized thermal Hall effect in $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$. Therefore, we present much needed inelastic x-ray scattering measurements of its acoustic…
The sensitivity of the wavelength position of surface plasmon resonances in prolate and oblate fine metal particles to the refractive index of an embedding solution, a particle shape, and electron temperature is studied theoretically in the…
We study modulational instability in nonlinear arrays of subwavelength metallic nanoparticles, and analyze numerically nonlinear scenarios of the instability development. We demonstrate that modulational instability can lead to the…
We consider the interaction of electromagnetic radiation of arbitrary polarization with multi-level atoms in a self-consistent manner, taking into account both spatial and temporal dependencies of local fields. This is done by numerically…
We demonstrate that the dispersion of surface plasmon polaritons in a periodically perforated gold film can be efficiently manipulated by femtosecond laser pulses with the wavelengths far from the intrinsic resonances of gold. Using a time-…
A semi-microscopic approach based on both the continum-random-phase-approximation (CRPA) method and a phenomenological treatment of the spreading effect is extended and applied to describe the main properties (particle-hole strength…
