In the past decades, great strides have been made in the synthesis of hybrid nanocrystals
(HNCs) consisting of two or more disparate subunits (such as metals and/or …

In this review we look at the concepts and state-of-the-art concerning the strong coupling of
surface plasmon-polariton modes to states associated with quantum emitters such as …

Metal nanoparticles are excellent light absorbers. The absorption processes create highly
excited electron–hole pairs, and recently there has been interest in harnessing these hot …

Recent advances and the current status of challenging light-harvesting nanomaterials, such
as semiconducting quantum dots (QDs), metal nanoparticles, semiconductor–metal …

Strong coupling between resonantly matched localized surface plasmons and molecular
excitons results in the formation of new hybridized energy states called plexcitons …

Strong coupling between plasmons in metal nanoparticles and single excitons in molecules
or semiconductor nanomaterials has recently attracted considerable experimental effort for …

The interaction of exciton-plasmon coupling and the conversion of exciton-plasmon-photon
have been widely investigated experimentally and theoretically. In this review, we introduce …

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are spatially confined electromagnetic field modes at a
metal-dielectric interface capable of generating intense near-field optical forces on ultrafast …

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

We investigate the interplay between quenching and strong coupling in systems that include
a collection of quantum emitters interacting with a metal nanoparticle. By using detailed …
