Plasmon-Emitter Interactions at the Nanoscale

P. A. D. Gonçalves, Thomas Christensen, Nicholas Rivera +3

Plasmon-emitter interactions are of paramount importance in modern nanoplasmonics and are generally maximal at short emitter-surface separations. However, when the separation falls…

Maximal Spontaneous Photon Emission and Energy Loss from Free Electrons

Yi Yang, Aviram Massuda, Charles Roques-Carmes +7

Free electron radiation such as Cerenkov, Smith--Purcell, and transition radiation can be greatly affected by structured optical environments, as has been demonstrated in a variety…

Phonon polaritonics in two-dimensional materials

Nicholas Rivera, Thomas Christensen, Prineha Narang

Extreme confinement of electromagnetic energy by phonon polaritons holds the promise of strong and new forms of control over the dynamics of matter. To bring such control to the at…

A General Theoretical and Experimental Framework for Nanoscale Electromagnetism

Yi Yang, Di Zhu, Wei Yan +7

Local, bulk response functions, e.g permittivity, and the macroscopic Maxwell equations completely specify the classical electromagnetic problem, which features only wavelength
