Phase-space modelling of solid-state plasmas
Giovanni Manfredi, Paul-Antoine Hervieux, Jérôme Hurst
Conduction electrons in metallic nano-objects () behave as mobile negative charges confined by a fixed positively-charged background, the atomic ions. In m…
Quantum hydrodynamics for nanoplasmonics
Giovanni Manfredi, Paul-Antoine Hervieux, Fatema Tanjia
Quantum effects play a significant role in nanometric plasmonic devices, such as small metal clusters and metallic nanoshells. For structures containing a large number of electrons…
Plasmonic breathing modes in molecules -- A quantum hydrodynamic approach
Fatema Tanjia, Jerome Hurst, Paul-Antoine Hervieux +1
We propose and illustrate a quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model for the description of plasmonic oscillations in the molecule. Although simpler than competing approaches…
Spin-torque switching and control using chirped oscillating currents
Guillaume Klughertz, Lazar Friedland, Paul-Antoine Hervieux +1
We propose to use oscillating spin currents with slowly varying frequency (chirp) to manipulate and control the magnetization dynamics in a nanomagnet. By recasting the Landau-Lifs…
Phase space methods for the spin dynamics in condensed matter systems
Jerome Hurst, Paul-Antoine Hervieux, Giovanni Manfredi
Using the phase-space formulation of quantum mechanics, we derive a four-component Wigner equation for a system composed of spin-1/2 fermions (typically, electrons) including the Z…
High-harmonic generation in a quantum electron gas trapped in a nonparabolic and anisotropic well
Jerome Hurst, Kevin Leveque-Simon, Paul-Antoine Hervieux +2
An effective self-consistent model is derived and used to study the dynamics of an electron gas confined in a nonparabolic and anisotropic quantum well. This approach is based on t…
