Near Field Optical Microscopy (NSOM) has evolved into a mature member of the family of
scanning probe microscopy. In this article, we briefly go over the principle of NSOM, its …

The ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection of trace organic
pollutants is an important issue in environmental protection. However, the SERS detection …

Electromagnetic interaction between a sub-wavelength particle (the “probe”) and a material
surface (the “sample”) is studied theoretically. The interaction is shown to be governed by a …

Plasmon hybridization plays a crucial role in subwavelength light control, offering
remarkable field enhancement. However, engineering the resonance properties becomes …

The polarization state of a surface mode is a hybrid between linear and elliptical states,
meaning that although one of its electric-and magnetic-field components is linearly …

Scattering scanning near-field microscopy recently provided spectroscopic access to the
fundamentally distinct spatial, spectral, and coherence properties of the thermal near field …

We study theoretical formalism of the plasmon hybridization in a metallic nanotube and find
an explicit form of the dispersion relation for surface plasmons, in terms of interaction …

Surface (plasmon) resonances or electrostatic surface modes are possible on an interface
between two materials with permittivity of opposite signs, and interfaces with permeability of …

This paper investigates theoretically the effect of nonreciprocity on surface electromagnetic
waves (SEWs) propagating in magneto-optical structures in mutually opposite directions, ie …

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on a curved metal–dielectric interface are shown to
experience a geometric potential V top like quantum particles confined on a curved surface …
