Graphene: Free electron scattering within an inverted honeycomb lattice
Z. M. Abd El-Fattah, M. A. Kher-Elden, I. Piquero-Zulaica +2
Theoretical progress in graphene physics has largely relied on the application of a simple nearest-neighbor tight-binding model capable of predicting many of the electronic propert…
Plasmon-phonon interactions in topological insulator rings
Marta Autore, Fausto D'Apuzzo, Alessandra Di Gaspare +8
The great potential of Dirac electrons for plasmonics and photonics has been readily recognized after their discovery in graphene, followed by applications to smart optical devices…
Rotational Quantum Friction
Rongkuo Zhao, Alejandro Manjavacas, F. Javier García de Abajo +1
We investigate the frictional forces due to quantum fluctuations acting on a small sphere rotating near a surface. At zero temperature, we find the frictional force near a surface…
Tunable Plasmon Molecules in Overlapping Nanovoids
I. Romero, T. V. Teperik, F. J. Garcia de Abajo
Coupled and shape-tailored metallic nanoparticles are known to exhibit hybridized plasmon resonances. This Letter discuss the optical properties of a complementary system formed by…
Electromagnetic forces and torques in nanoparticles irradiated by a plane wave
F. J. Garcia de Abajo
Optical tweezers and optical lattices are making it possible to control small particles by means of electromagnetic forces and torques. In this context, a method is presented in th…
Tunneling mechanism of light transmission through metallic films
F. J. Garcia de Abajo, G. Gomez-Santos, L. A. Blanco +2
A mechanism of light transmission through metallic films is proposed, assisted by tunnelling between resonating buried dielectric inclusions. This is illustrated by arrays of Si sp…
