Tear and Interconnect Domain Decomposition Analysis of Piecewise Penetrable Structures

Abstract

Recent advances in nanotechnology have allowed to exploit the capability of the field of plasmonics to confine electromagnetic subwavelength radiation, enhancement, and spatio-temporal control of light and electron beams in the vicinity of metal/dielectric interfaces (in particular in, metallic nanoparticles), with a large amount of cutting-edge applications on several fields, including medicine [1], nanoscale light management, deep-subwavelength optical microscopy, nanoscale communications or quantum optics. However, there are two particularly directions which are truly interesting for all of them, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) [2] and the use of electron beam excitations to induce light emission and improve spatial resolution, wavelength-resolved cathodoluminescence (CL) light emission and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) [3].
