Near-field optical spectroscopy of individual surface-plasmon modes in colloid clusters
Abstract
Local spectra of self-affine clusters of silver colloid particles recorded with subwavelength resolution by near-field spectroscopy are reported. Spectra were also simulated computationally. The observed and calculated near-field spectra consist of several resonances with highly location-dependent frequencies. The most highly resolved of these resonances correspond to individual surface plasmon (SP) normal modes. All of these features are only observable in the near field. Both theory and experiment also show that when excited by light in the SP region of the spectrum, the field-intensity distribution in the near field is very heterogeneous with most of the excitation concentrated in ``hot spots'' on the cluster surface that are strongly excitation-wavelength dependent. This field-intensity localization provides a rationale for recently reported surface-enhanced Raman enhancements in excess of ${10}^{10}.$

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
