Propagating Surface Plasmons and Dispersion Relations for Nanoscale Multilayer Metallic-Dielectric Films
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study of propagating surface plasmons (PSPs) is an important aspect of the understanding of the interaction between light and metallic surfaces. One of the key concepts related to PSPs, is the dispersion relation. This relation is the basis for understanding of coupling of light to PSPs, by using special approaches to match the wavevector. Moreover, it can be used to predict the matching of localised surface plasmons (LSPs) and PSPs to achieve highly enhanced electromagnetic field and/or tailored transmission.

متن کاملOptical Isolator Utilizing Surface Plasmons
Feasibility of usage of surface plasmons in a new design of an integrated optical isolator has been studied. In the case of surface plasmons propagating at a boundary between a transition metal and a double-layer dielectric, there is a significant difference of optical loss for surface plasmons propagating in opposite directions. Utilizing this structure, it is feasible to fabricate a competiti...
متن کاملPlasmonic Thermal Conductance of Stack of Metallic Nanorings
In this paper, we study the plasmonic thermal conductance of ordered stacks of metallic nanorings in a host material. Using second quantized formalism of the Random Phase Approximation, we first determine the dispersion relations of surface plasmon waves on the stacks of nanorings. Then, using Landauer-Buttiker formalism, we determine the coefficient of plasmonic thermal conductance and heat cu...
متن کاملThe fabrication of plasmonic Au nanovoid trench arrays by guided self-assembly.
Metallic nanoscale voids can support both localized and propagating plasmons and form plasmonic crystals. However, constructing 1D arrays is crucial for producing plasmonic circuits. In this paper we report the first experimental evidence of plasmons in templated linear arrays of self-assembled structures. Single and multilayer arrays of gold voids have been fabricated by self-assembly of sub-m...
متن کاملNanostructure - Mediated Launching and Detection of 2 D Surface Plasmons by Jared Day A
Nanostructure-Mediated Launching and Detection of 2D Surface Plasmons by Jared Day Au nanoparticles deposited on a metallic film act as nanoantenna receivers and transmitters for the coupling of free-space radiation into, and out of, 2D surface plasmons. Nanosteps, sub-lO-nm gaps between metallic films of differing thickness, can also launch and detect surface plasmons. In this thesis both type...
