Analysis and Design of Deep-Nanometer Scale Plasmonic Scatterers KU Leuven
Since deep-nanometer scale systems are increasingly studied, accurate macroscopic theories dealing with quantum mechanical effects are in high demand. Concerning the electromagnetic nonlocal response of plasmonic nanostructures, several hydrodynamic models (HDM) have been proposed, each introducing an additional boundary condition to describe the collective motion of the electronic gas. In this work, four HDMs, namely the hard wall hydrodynamic ...
