Long-range Excitation of Collective Modes in Mesoscopic Metal Clusters
نویسنده
چکیده
We develop a semiclassical theory for the long range excitation of plasmon resonances in atomic clusters, based on the doorway hypothesis. The effect of the width of the plasmon resonance is fully taken into account. As an application we study plasmon excitation in small Sodium clusters, in collisions with electrons and protons.

Finding Electrostatics modes in Metal Thin Films by using of Quantum Hydrodynamic Model
In this paper, by using a quantum hydrodynamic plasma model which incorporates the important quantum statistical pressure and electron diffraction force, we present the corrected plasmon dispersion relation for graphene which includes a k quantum term arising from the collective electron density wave interference effects (which is integer and constant and k is wave vector). The longitudinal ...
متن کاملThe role of layer-thickness deviation in dispersion and structure of plasmons in finite superlattices
We study the effects of layer thickness variations on the collective plasmon excitation modes of finite superlattices. Unlike other symmetry lowering mechanisms, thickness variation does not strongly localize the surface modes. We find that the reason for this insensitivity lies in the fact that the collective modes of a given finite structure must evolve continuously from the single-finite-sup...
متن کاملImage states in metal clusters
The existence of image states in small clusters is shown, using a quantum-mechanical many-body approach. We present image state energies and wave functions for spherical jellium clusters up to 186 atoms, calculated in the GW approximation, where G is the Green’s function, and W the dynamically screened Coulomb interaction, which by construction contains the dynamic long-range correlation effect...
متن کاملEvidence for coherent collective Rydberg excitation in the strong blockade regime.
We report on strong van der Waals blockade in two-photon Rydberg excitation of ultracold magnetically trapped 87Rb atoms. The excitation dynamics was investigated for a large range of densities and laser intensities and shows a full saturation and a strong suppression with respect to single-atom behavior. The observed scaling of the initial increase with density and laser intensity provides evi...
متن کاملمثالی از پیچیدگی در مغناطیس: ساختارهای پیچیده مغناطیسی در میان فلزات نادر خاکی
We present and compare the magnetic structures of limit compounds, between the ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism in the pseudobinary compounds of type RNi/Pt/Cu, where R = Tb, Gd, Nd or Ce, appearing when we substitute the transition metal. All of them are examples of complex magnetic structures as the result of different magnetic interactions, inhomogeneities and disorder. This overview p...
