Raman spectroscopy at metal interfaces: A numerical study of the strong coupling regime
Zeyu Zhou, Maxim Sukharev, Abraham Nitzan +1
We investigate how proximity to a metal nanostructure, particularly to a flat mirror or a cavity confined between two mirrors, affects the vibronic structure of Raman scattering si…
Interference Limited Absorption in Dense Molecular Nanolayers Near Reflecting Surfaces
Zeyu Zhou, Maxim Sukharev, Abraham Nitzan +1
We investigate linear resonant absorption by a dense ensemble of molecules confined to a subwavelength layer in two geometries: (i) a free-standing film in homogeneous space and (i…
Collective Rabi-driven vibrational activation in molecular polaritons
Carlos M. Bustamante, Franco P. Bonafé, Richard Richardson +5
Molecular polaritons arise from electronic or vibrational strong coupling (ESC and VSC) with confined electromagnetic fields. While these have been widely studied, the influence of…
Density-Functional Tight Binding Meets Maxwell: Unraveling the Mysteries of (Strong) Light-Matter Coupling Efficiently
Dominik Sidler, Carlos M. Bustamante, Franco P. Bonafe +3
Controlling chemical and material properties through strong light-matter coupling in optical cavities has gained considerable attention over the past decade. However, the underlyin…
