Nanoscale magnetic systems play a decisive role in areas ranging from biology to
spintronics. Although, in principle, THz electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) provides …

The quality of lithographically prepared structures is intimately related to the properties of the
metal film from which they are fabricated. Here we compare two kinds of thin gold films on a …

As hybrid excitations formed by strongly coupled plasmons and excitons, plexcitons are
conventionally investigated by far-field scattering, absorption, or photoluminescence …

The plasmonic lightning-rod effect refers to the formation of a strong electric near field of
localized surface plasmons at the sharp features of plasmonic antennas. While this effect is …
