Chip‐Compatible Quantum Plasmonic Launcher

Quantum plasmonic nanoantennas

We study plasmonic excitations in the limit of few electrons, in one-atom thick sodium chains, and characterize them based on collectivity. We also compare the excitations to classical localised plasmon modes and find for the longitudinal mode a quantum-classical transition around 10 atoms. The transverse mode appears at much higher energies than predicted classically for all chain lengths. The...

Quantum interference in plasmonic circuits.

Surface plasmon polaritons (plasmons) are a combination of light and a collective oscillation of the free electron plasma at metal/dielectric interfaces. This interaction allows subwavelength confinement of light beyond the diffraction limit inherent to dielectric structures. As a result, the intensity of the electromagnetic field is enhanced, with the possibility to increase the strength of th...

GRID-Launcher v.1.0

GRID-launcher-1.0 was built within the VO-Tech framework, as a software interface between the UK-ASTROGRID and a generic GRID infrastructures in order to allow any ASTROGRID user to launch on the GRID computing intensive tasks from the ASTROGRID Workbench or Desktop. Even though of general application, so far the GridLauncher has been tested on a few selected softwares (VONeural-MLP, VONeural-S...

Ferromagnetic Material Launcher

The ferromagnetic material launcher is a coilgun that launches magnetically permeable material. This technology has both military and scientific applications such as defense, space launches, train travel, etc. This project uses principles of magnetic fields, electric circuitry, computer programming, and mobile application software in order to achieve the project goals; these being the FML capab...
