Abstract
A theory is presented for excitation of nonradiative plasmons in two-dimensional (2D) electron gas by light pulses. It is assumed that longitudinal 2D plasma oscillations are induced via the near field of a close located linear nanoantenna which is dipole-polarized by light. Equation of motion for polarization waves of 2D plasmons is derived and solved analytically in terms of forced steady and concomitant transient oscillations. The two type of oscillations provide the zero initial conditions and the transient modes in switching a ligth pulse on and off. The packet of 2D plasmons excited via near field with different wavevectors is shown to possess inhomogeneously broadened spectrum of elementary lines with maxima at the frequencies of plasmons. In switching transient mode, the polarization of 2D plasmons is found to exhibit beatings associated with detuning the frequencies of exciting light and excitable plasmon. Predicted are the spectra of 2D plasmons and effectiveness of their near-field excitation depending on time and wavenumber.
期刊介绍:
Solid State Communications is an international medium for the publication of short communications and original research articles on significant developments in condensed matter science, giving scientists immediate access to important, recently completed work. The journal publishes original experimental and theoretical research on the physical and chemical properties of solids and other condensed systems and also on their preparation. The submission of manuscripts reporting research on the basic physics of materials science and devices, as well as of state-of-the-art microstructures and nanostructures, is encouraged.
A coherent quantitative treatment emphasizing new physics is expected rather than a simple accumulation of experimental data. Consistent with these aims, the short communications should be kept concise and short, usually not longer than six printed pages. The number of figures and tables should also be kept to a minimum. Solid State Communications now also welcomes original research articles without length restrictions.
The Fast-Track section of Solid State Communications is the venue for very rapid publication of short communications on significant developments in condensed matter science. The goal is to offer the broad condensed matter community quick and immediate access to publish recently completed papers in research areas that are rapidly evolving and in which there are developments with great potential impact.
