Gate-tunable plasmons in mixed-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Surface plasmons have unique physical properties that make them also interesting for technology. Here, the authors observe plasmons in mixed-dimensional heterostructures that can be highly modulated with electrostatic gating, which may be explained by ...

In Operando Characterization and Control over Intermittent Light Emission from Molecular Tunnel Junctions via Molecular Backbone Rigidity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2019
In principle, excitation of surface plasmons by molecular tunnel junctions can be controlled at the molecular level. Stable electrical excitation sources of surface plasmons are therefore desirable.

Channel spaser

open access: yes, 2011
We show that net amplification of surface plasmons is achieved in channel in a metal plate due to nonradiative excitation by quantum dots. This makes possible lossless plasmon transmission lines in the channel as well as the amplification and generation ...

Theory of surface plasmons and surface-plasmon polaritons [PDF]

open access: yesReports on Progress in Physics, 2006
Collective electronic excitations at metal surfaces are well known to play a key role in a wide spectrum of science, ranging from physics and materials science to biology. Here we focus on a theoretical description of the many-body dynamical electronic response of solids, which underlines the existence of various collective electronic excitations at ...

Plasmonics in Topological Insulators

open access: yesNanomaterials and Nanotechnology, 2014
With strong spin-orbit coupling, topological insulators have an insulating bulk state, characterized by a band gap, and a conducting surface state, characterized by a Dirac cone.

Surface Plasmon Polaritons on Metallic Surfaces

open access: yesOptics and Photonics News, 2007
A unified theoretical study of surface plasmon polaritons on flat metallic surfaces and interfaces is undertaken to clarify the nature of these electromagnetic waves, conditions under which they are launched, and the restrictions imposed by Maxwell's equations that ultimately determine the strength of the excited plasmons.

Trapping and guiding surface plasmons in curved graphene landscapes

open access: yes, 2015
We demonstrate that graphene placed on top of structured substrates offers a novel approach for trapping and guiding surface plasmons. A monolayer graphene with a spatially varying curvature exhibits an effective trapping potential for graphene plasmons ...
