Excitation of surface plasmons at a SiO2/Ag interface by silicon quantum dots: Experiment and theory
The excitation of surface plasmons SPs by optically excited silicon quantum dots QDs located near a Ag interface is studied both experimentally and theoretically for different QD-interface separations. The Si QDs are formed in the near-surface region of an SiO2 substrate by Si ion implantation and thermal annealing. Photoluminescence decay-rate distributions, as derived from an inverse Laplace ...

متن کاملQuantum Interference and Entanglement of Surface Plasmons
Surface plasma waves arise from the collective oscillations of billions of electrons at the surface of a metal in unison. The simplest way to quantize these waves is by direct analogy to electromagnetic fields in free space, with the surface plasmon, the quantum of the surface plasma wave, playing the same role as the photon. It follows that surface plasmons should exhibit all of the same quant...
متن کاملTheory of surface plasmons and surface-plasmon polaritons
Collective electronic excitations at metal surfaces are well known to play a key role in a wide spectrum of science, ranging from physics and materials science to biology. Here we focus on a theoretical description of the many-body dynamical electronic response of solids, which underlines the existence of various collective electronic excitations at metal surfaces, such as the conventional surf...
متن کاملGrating-coupled surface plasmons at microwave frequencies
This work presents a detailed investigation of electromagnetic coupling to the surface plasmon-polariton ~SPP! at microwave frequencies. We have recorded the wavelength-dependent reflectivity from a metallic sinusoidal diffraction grating of pitch 15 mm. In order to minimize the problems associated with nonplanar incident wavefronts, we have developed an apparatus that collimates the incident b...
