Abstract The disruption of the mantle roots cratons is common after cratonization. Craton destruction, which characterized by severe lithospheric thinning, extensive thrust and extensional deformation, basin filling, intense thermal activities, relatively rare generally attributed to intensely reduced viscosity contrasts between root underlying asthenosphere. However, extent required contrast r...

The dephasing of particle plasmons is investigated using light-scattering spectroscopy on individual gold nanoparticles. We find a drastic reduction of the plasmon dephasing rate in nanorods as compared to small nanospheres due to a suppression of interband damping. The rods studied here also show very little radiation damping, due to their small volumes. These findings imply large local-field ...
