oscillations confined to metallic nanoparticles and nanostructures) in nanoscale optics and …

The past several decades have seen tremendous advances in metal nanoparticle research.
This field involves workers from many different areas, including materials scientists …

The design and realization of metallic nanostructures with tunable plasmon resonances has
been greatly advanced by combining a wealth of nanofabrication techniques with advances …

This paper describes a soft, solution-phase approach to the large-scale synthesis of uniform
nanowires of bicrystalline silver whose lateral dimensions could be controlled in the range of …

Control over the interaction between single photons and individual optical emitters is an
outstanding problem in quantum science and engineering. It is of interest for ultimate control …

Nanoparticles of noble metals belong to the most extensively studied colloidal systems in
the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Due to continuing progress in the synthesis of …

We predict theoretically that surface plasmon polaritons propagating toward the tip of a
tapered plasmonic waveguide are slowed down and asymptotically stopped when they tend …
