Transparent conductors (TCs) have a multitude of applications for solar energy utilization
and for energy savings, especially in buildings. The largest of these applications, in terms of …

Plasmonic systems, such as metal nanoparticles, are widely used in different areas of
application, going from biology to photovoltaics. The modeling of the optical response of …

Plasmonic photocatalysis presents a promising method for light-to-matter conversion.
However, most current studies focus on understanding the relative importance of thermal …

The standard hydrodynamic Drude model with hard-wall boundary conditions can give
accurate quantitative predictions for the optical response of noble-metal nanoparticles …

Optical probes of heterogeneous catalytic reactions can be valuable tools for optimization
and process control because they can operate under realistic conditions, but often probes …

The classical treatment of plasmonics is insufficient at the nanometer-scale due to quantum
mechanical surface phenomena. Here, an extension of the classical paradigm is reported …

Gold nanoparticles located at a metal oxide/hole conductor interface generate photocurrents
upon visible light illumination. We demonstrate that the quantum efficiency of this process …

We consider a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of metallic nanoparticles, each
supporting a localized surface plasmon, and study the quantum properties of the collective …

We study a bipartite linear chain constituted by spherical metallic nanoparticles, where each
nanoparticle supports a localized surface plasmon. The near-field dipolar interaction …

Electronic excitations in linear atomic chains of simple and noble metals (silver) have been
studied using time-dependent density-functional theory. The formation and development of …
