Plasmon-induced circular dichroism of a chiral molecule in the vicinity of metal nanocrystals. Application to various geometries

AO Govorov - The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 2011 - ACS Publications
The Coulombic interaction between a chiral molecule and a nonchiral metal nanocrystal
creates new plasmonic lines in a circular dichroism (CD) spectrum. In many cases, optical …

Excitation of dark plasmons in metal nanoparticles by a localized emitter

M Liu, TW Lee, SK Gray, P Guyot-Sionnest, M Pelton - Physical review letters, 2009 - APS
We study theoretically a dipole emitter placed near a metal nanoparticle and near small
