Metallic nanostructures with nanometer gaps support hybrid plasmonic modes with an
extremely small mode volume and strong local field intensity, which constitutes an attractive …

A metallic nanoparticle positioned over a metal film offers great advantages as a highly
controllable system relevant for probing field-enhancement and other plasmonic effects …

We have combined atomic layer lithography and template strip** to produce a new class
of substrates for surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy. Our structure …

Because of their ability to strongly localize and enhance optical fields, plasmonic
nanostructures have the potential to dramatically amplify the inherent nonlinear response of …

Plasmonic enhancement of nonlinear optical processes confront severe limitations arising
from the strong dispersion of metal susceptibilities and small interaction volumes that …

The optical response of a plasmonic gap-antenna is mainly determined by the Coulomb
interaction of the two constituent arms of the antenna. Using rigorous calculations supported …

Homodimers of noble metal nanocubes form model plasmonic systems where the localized
plasmon resonances sustained by each particle not only hybridize but also coexist with …

A metasurface that absorbs waves from all directions of incidence can be achieved if the
surface impedance is made to vary as a function of incidence angle in a specific manner …

Vanadium dioxide (VO 2) is a promising phase-change material (PCM) in controlling
radiative heat transfer because of the large permittivity contrast between the phases and the …

The enhancement of the photoluminescence of quantum dots induced by an optical
nanoantenna has been studied considerably, but there is still significant interest in …
