Uncovering low-frequency vibrations in surface-enhanced Raman of organic molecules

Alexandra Boehmke, Roberto A Boto, Eoin Elliot +7

Accessing the terahertz (THz) spectral domain through surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is challenging and opens up the study of low-frequency molecular and electronic exc…

Influence of direct dipole-dipole interactions on the optical response of 2D materials in strongly inhomogeneous infrared cavity fields

Sofia Ribeiro, Javier Aizpurua, Ruben Esteban

A two-dimensional (2D) material, formed for example by a self-assembled molecular monolayer or by a single layer of a van der Walls material, can couple efficiently with photonic n…

Probing optical anapoles with fast electron beams

Carlos Maciel-Escudero, Andrew B. Yankovich, Battulga Munkhbat +5

Optical anapoles are intriguing charge-current distributions characterized by a strong suppression of electromagnetic radiation. They originate from the destructive interference of…

Molecular-Induced Chirality Transfer to Plasmonic Lattice Modes

Eric S. A. Goerlitzer, Mario Zapata-Herrera, Ekaterina Ponomareva +5

Molecular chirality plays fundamental roles in biology. The chiral response of a molecule occurs at a specific spectral position, determined by its molecular structure. This finger…

Preservation and destruction of the purity of two-photon states in the interaction with a nanoscatterer

Álvaro Nodar, Ruben Esteban, Carlos Maciel-Escudero +3

The optical resonances supported by nanostructures offer the possibility to enhance the interaction between matter and the quantum states of light. In this work, we provide a frame…

Identifying unbound strong bunching and the breakdown of the Rotating Wave Approximation in the quantum Rabi model

Álvaro Nodar, Ruben Esteban, Unai Muniain +3

We use a recently derived gauge-invariant formulation of the problem of a two-level system coupled to an optical cavity, to explore the transition between the weak, and the ultra-s…
