The polarization sensitivity of optical resonant dipole antennas is investigated numerically using the Green's tensor technique. The electric field-intensity in the feed-gap of the antenna is calculated as function of the polarization of the incident field ...
We use rigorous diffraction theory to analyze the force on elliptical cylinders made from silver as a function of the elongation. We find that, when the wires are illuminated at the plasmon wavelength and placed in a highly focused Gaussian beam, they are ...
We study numerically two-dimensional nanoparticles with a non-regular shape and demonstrate that these particles can support many more plasmon resonances than a particle with a regular shape (e.g. an ellipse). The electric field distributions associated wi ...
We study the forces generated by an electromagnetic field on two coupled gold nanowires at the vicinity of the plasmon resonance wavelength. Two different regimes are observed, depending on the separation distance d between the wires. In the near field cou ...
The excitation of a surface plasmon polariton (SPP) wave on a metal-air interface by a diffraction grating under monochromatic normal illumination is investigated numerically. The influence of the different experimental parameters (grating thickness, perio ...
In this paper, we study the multiple scattering by electrically small (the radius of the cylinder is much smaller than the wavelength) plasmonic nanocylinders near surface plasmon resonance. The cylinders are assumed to be identical in dimension and compos ...
The paper reports on the deposition of thin antimony (Sb)-doped SnO2 films onto gold and silver substrates using magnetron sputtering. The influence of the SnO2:Sb film on the electrochemical and surface plasmon resonance properties is investigated. The be ...
We show that when a small amount of heat is added close to a liquid-vapor interface of a captive gas bubble in a microchannel, interphase mass-transfer through the bubble can occur in a controlled manner with only a slight change in the temperature of the ...
The room temperature stability of nanometer-sized silver clusters in silica matrices has been investigated by following the temporal evolution of their surface plasmon absorption. Ag clusters in SiO2 were prepared by either annealing silica samples doped w ...
The authors measured the ultrafast response of triangular silver nanoparticles upon femtosecond excitation of their plasmon resonance. After a fast electron relaxation, the signature of a bimodal mech. vibration of the particle is apparent as a spectral mo ...
