Propagation of optical excitations by dipolar interactions in metal nanoparticle chains
Open accessAbstract
Dispersion relations for dipolar modes propagating along a chain of metal nanoparticles are calculated by solving the full Maxwell equations, including radiation damping. The nanoparticles are treated as point dipoles, which means the results are valid only for $a∕d\ensuremath{\leqslant}\frac{1}{3}$, where $a$ is the particle radius and $d$ the spacing. The discrete modes for a finite chain are first calculated, then these are mapped onto the dispersion relations appropriate for the infinite chain. Computed results are given for a chain of $50\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\mathrm{diam}$ Ag spheres spaced by $75\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$. We find large deviations from previous quasistatic results: Transverse modes interact strongly with the light line. Longitudinal modes develop a bandwidth more than twice as large, resulting in a group velocity that is more than doubled. All modes for which ${k}_{\text{mode}}\ensuremath{\leqslant}\ensuremath{\omega}∕c$ show strongly enhanced decay due to radiation damping.

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.
