Plasmons of Hexamer and Pentamer Nanocavities Probed with Swift Electrons
Electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) is an efficient tool for investigating the local density of optical states in single and coupled nano-systems in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) [1]. In EELS, a relativistic electron inelastically interacts with a sample, and hence loses energy by pumping the sample to a higher photonic state. The amount of energy loss of the electron is detecte...
متن کاملDesign and Development of the Swift: a Foot-launched Sailplane
This paper describes the development of what might be considered the first successful ultralight sailplane. The SWIFT is a high performance foot-launched glider, designed to combine some of the convenience of hang gliders with the soaring performance of sailplanes. It takes off and lands like a hang glider, yet maintains exceptional performance at high speeds, achieving a lift-to-drag ratio of ...
متن کاملMultiple excitation of confined graphene plasmons by single free electrons.
We show that free electrons can efficiently excite plasmons in doped graphene with probabilities in the order of one per electron. More precisely, we predict multiple excitations of a single confined plasmon mode in graphene nanostructures. These unprecedentedly large electron-plasmon couplings are explained using a simple scaling law and further investigated through a general quantum descripti...
متن کاملHot Electrons and Hot Plasmons for Photovoltaics
Hot Electrons and Hot Plasmons for Photovoltaics David J. Norris Optical Materials Engineering Laboratory, ETH Zürich We will discuss two recently observed phenomena with implications for photovoltaic devices. First, it is well known that conventional silicon solar cells lose a significant fraction of their absorbed energy when electrons that are excited high into the conduction band cool to th...
متن کاملPlasmons and Electrons as Nanosecond - Fast Sensors for Scanning
Submitted for the MAR14 Meeting of The American Physical Society Plasmons and Electrons as Nanosecond-Fast Sensors for Scanning Tunneling Microscopy SEBASTIAN LOTH, Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, Hamburg, Germany — The ability to measure the fast dynamical evolution of atomic-scale systems often holds the key to their understanding. We combine fast pump-probe spe...
