Quantum plasmonics is a rapidly growing field of research that involves the study of the
quantum properties of light and its interaction with matter at the nanoscale. Here, surface …

All our former experience with application of quantum theory seems to say that what is
predicted by quantum formalism must occur in the laboratory. But the essence of quantum …

The formation of a dense and uniform thin layer on the substrates is crucial for the fabrication
of high-performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs) containing formamidinium with multiple …

The presence of tiny holes in an opaque metal film, with sizes smaller than the wavelength
of incident light, leads to a wide variety of unexpected optical properties such as strongly …

Nanowires supporting propagating surface plasmons can function as nanowaveguides to
realize the light guiding with field confinement beyond the diffraction limit, providing …

The extraordinary optical properties of surface plasmons in metal nanostructures provide the
possibilities to enhance and accelerate the spontaneous emission, and manipulate the …

Quantum phenomena are typically observable at length and time scales smaller than those
of our everyday experience, often involving individual particles or excitations. The past few …

From metamaterials to metasurfaces, optical nano-structure has been widely investigated for
novel and high efficiency functionalities. Apart from the intrisinsic properties of composite …

When light interacts with metal surfaces, it excites electrons, which can form propagating
excitation waves called surface plasmon polaritons. These collective electronic excitations …

Surface plasmons allow electromagnetic fields to be confined to subwavelength scale, well
beyond the classical optical diffraction limit. With continuous reduction of optical mode …
