We demonstrate that in a hybrid plasmonic system the optical force exerted on a dielectric waveguide by a metallic substrate is enhanced by more than 1 order of magnitude compared to the force between a photonic waveguide and a dielectric substrate. A nanoscale gap between the dielectric waveguide and the metallic substrate leads to deep subwavelength optical energy confinement with ultralow mo...

We examine the localized nematic regions (caps) on spherical colloidal particles suspended in a nematogenic liquid in the isotropic phase in the bulk by solving the Poisson equation with an orientation-dependent dielectric tensor. These caps appear and grow with an increasing applied electric field. We assume positive dielectric anisotropy of the nematogenic liquid and a high dielectric constan...

The principle of optical reciprocity is examined in the long wavelength limit in the presence of an isotropic nonlocal medium, by generalizing a previous result established in the literature on the symmetry of the Green’s function. Our focus here is in its possible application to plasmonics, i.e. optics with metallic nanostructures. It is shown that reciprocity will still hold as long as the di...

The physical and chemical properties of Pyrazole and Pyrazoline molecules were theoreticallystudied by Gaussian 03, software with NMR and Molecular orbital calculations at B3LYP/6-31G andB3LYP/6-31+G(d) levels, in gas phase and solution. In this study a comparison effect of threesolvents with different dielectric constants on Pyrazole and Pyrazoline molecules in aspect energyinteraction between...

Show that the flow of electromagnetic energy far from localized, time-dependent sources in a uniform, linear anisotropic dielectric medium is purely radial, despite the complexity of the wavefronts. Thus, the waves are transverse electromagnetic (TEM) in this region, although the electric displacement D has a longitudinal component in general. It suffices to consider sources with time dependenc...

The effective dielectric function of colloidal solution in the vicinity of a solution–pure solvent interface is discussed. A simple expression is derived for the transverse and longitudinal components of the dielectric permittivity tensor e J as a function of the distance from the interface. In the approximation made, the sole effect responsible for the e J anisotropy and space dependence is th...
