Can Copper Nanostructures Sustain High-Quality Plasmons?

Vahagn Mkhitaryan, Katia March, Eric Tseng +10

Silver is considered to be the king among plasmonic materials because it features low inelastic absorption in the visible and infrared (vis-IR) spectral regions compared to other m…

Ultrafast Momentum-Resolved Probing of Plasmon Thermal Dynamics with Free Electrons

Vahagn Mkhitaryan, Eduardo J. C. Dias, Fabrizio Carbone +1

Current advances in ultrafast electron microscopy make it possible to combine optical pumping of a nanostructure and electron beam probing with subångstrom and femtosecond spatiote…

Nanoscale Nonlinear Spectroscopy with Electron Beams

Andrea Konečná, Valerio Di Giulio, Vahagn Mkhitaryan +2

We theoretically demonstrate the ability of electron beams to probe the nonlinear photonic response with nanometer spatial resolution, well beyond the capabilities of existing opti…

Tailored nanoscale plasmon-enhanced vibrational electron spectroscopy

Luiz H. G. Tizei, Vahagn Mkhitaryan, Hugo Lourenço-Martins +12

Vibrational optical spectroscopies can be enhanced by surface plasmons to reach molecular-sized limits of detection and characterization. The level of enhancement strongly depends…

Lasing and Amplification from Two-Dimensional Atom Arrays

Vahagn Mkhitaryan, Lijun Meng, Andrea Marini +1

We explore the ability of two-dimensional periodic atom arrays to produce light amplification and generate laser emission when gain is introduced through external optical pumping.…
