Theory of surface plasmons and surface-plasmon polaritons
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical description of the many-body dynamical electronic response of solids is presented, which underlines the existence of various collective electronic excitations at metal surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical excitations in electron microscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, a quantum-mechanical description of the interaction between the electrons and the sample is discussed, followed by a powerful classical dielectric approach that can be in practice applied to more complex systems.

Quantum Plasmonics: Nonlinear Effects in the Field Enhancement of a Plasmonic Nanoparticle Dimer
Dana Codruta Marinica,Andrey K. Kazansky,Andrey K. Kazansky,Peter Nordlander,Javier Aizpurua,Andrei G. Borisov +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that both classical as well as linear quantum mechanical descriptions of the system fail even for moderate incident light intensities and the coupling between the two nanoparticles and the field enhancement is reduced as compared to linear theory.

TL;DR: A classical effective model, so called Quantum Corrected Model (QCM), that has been introduced to correctly describe the main features of optical transport in plasmonic nanogaps is considered and its implementation is extended to include nonlocal effects and address practical situations involving different materials and temperatures of operation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum scattering of fast atoms and molecules on surfaces.
TL;DR: It is shown here that well-defined diffraction patterns can be observed indicating that, for grazing scattering, the pertinent wavelength is that associated with the slow motion perpendicular to the surface.
