Extreme nanophotonics from ultrathin metallic gaps

JJ Baumberg, J Aizpurua, MH Mikkelsen, DR Smith - Nature materials, 2019 - nature.com
Ultrathin dielectric gaps between metals can trap plasmonic optical modes with surprisingly
low loss and with volumes below 1 nm3. We review the origin and subtle properties of these …
