The plasmon characteristics of two graphene nanostructures are studied using time-dependent den- sity functional theory (TDDFT). The absorption spectrum has two main bands, which result from and σ + π plasmon res...
Metal nanostructures exhibit special optical resonance modes originating fronl tile subwavelengt.h confinement of conductive electrons in the material. These resonance modes represent a strong research focus due to th...
A major challenge with studying plasmon-mediated emission events is the small size of plasmonic nanoparticles relative to the wavelength of light. Objects smaller than roughly half the wavelength of light will appear ...
