Plasmonic phenomena in metals are commonly explored within the framework of classical
electrodynamics and semiclassical models for the interactions of light with free-electron …

The extraordinary optical properties of surface plasmons in metal nanostructures provide the
possibilities to enhance and accelerate the spontaneous emission, and manipulate the …

The tremendous growth of the field of plasmonics in the past twenty years owes much to the
pre-existence of solid theoretical foundations. Rather than calling for the introduction of …

Abstract Nowadays, sub-50 meV atom-wide electron probes are routinely produced for
electron energy loss spectroscopy in transmission electron microscopes due to …

We present an analytic, Mie theory-based solution for the energy loss and the photon-
emission probabilities in the interaction of spherical nanoparticles with electrons passing …

Thanks to their exceptional spatial, spectral and temporal resolution, highly-coherent free-
electron beams have emerged as powerful probes for material excitations, enabling their …

Cathodoluminescence spectroscopy performed in an electron microscope has proven a
versatile tool for analyzing the near-and far-field optical response of plasmonic and dielectric …

Strong coupling between a single quantum emitter and an electromagnetic mode is one of
the key effects in quantum optics. In the cavity QED approach to plasmonics, strongly …

Light–matter coupling in plasmonic nanocavities has been widely studied in the past years.
Yet, for core–shell particles, popular electromagnetic models that use the classical Lorentz …

Optical polaritons appear when a material excitation strongly couples to an optical mode.
Such strong coupling between molecular transitions and optical cavities results in far …
