Fluctuations of the local density of states probe localized surface plasmons on disordered metal films
arXiv:1007.3691 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.105.183901
Abstract
We measure the statistical distribution of the local density of optical states (LDOS) on disordered semi-continuous metal films. We show that LDOS fluctuations exhibit a maximum in a regime where fractal clusters dominate the film surface. These large fluctuations are a signature of surface-plasmon localization on the nanometer scale.
