There have recently been remarkable achievements in turning light–matter interaction into
strong-coupling quantum regime. In particular, room-temperature plexcitonic strong coupling …

Surface plasmons respond strongly to electric fields and generate energetic (hot) charge
carriers that can be used in optoelectronic devices. However, utilization of hot carriers has to …

We present a brief pedagogical review of theoretical Green's function methods applicable to
open quantum systems out of equilibrium, in general, and single molecule junctions, in …

Electron transport and optical properties of a single molecule in contact with conductive
materials have attracted considerable attention because of their scientific importance and …

Metaphotonics is an emerging multidisciplinary field that deals with manipulation of electro-
magnetic fields in nanoengineered (meta) materials using both electric and magnetic …

The effect of surface plasmons on the conductance of single-molecule junctions is studied
using a squeezable break junction setup. We show that the conductance of 2, 7 …

The progress of experimental techniques at the nanoscale in the last decade made optical
measurements in current-carrying nanojunctions a reality, thus indicating the emergence of …

Chiral nanostructures exhibit strong coupling to the spin angular momentum of incident
photons. The integration of metal nanostructures with semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) to …

We present a method, based on characterizing efficiency fluctuations, to assess the
performance of nanoscale thermoelectric junctions. This method accounts for effects …

Recent experiments access the time-resolved photoelectron signal originating from plasmon
satellites in correlated materials and address their buildup and decay in real time. Motivated …
