Theoretical
Nanoplasmonics and Nanooptics, Ultrafast Nanooptics,
Nanooptical
Phenomena at Surfaces and in Condensed Matter
The
study includes theory of electronic, optical (especially,
nonlinear-optical and
ultrafast-optical) properties of nanostructured systems:
plasmonic
nanoclusters
and
fractal clusters, metal/dielectric nanocomposites,
nano-rough surfaces,
and
metal/semiconductor nanostructures. The study invokes
various
analytical
methods and large-scale computer modeling. The most
important are the
new
ideas, which
can be judged from the papers published (see LIST
OF
PUBLICATIONS Section).
This research is supported by grants
from the
US
Department of Energy, a grant from US-Israel Binational
Science
Foundation, and NIRT grant from the US National Science
Foundation (see
GRANTS AND AWARDS Section for
details). MIS’s
research group includes two
Postdoctoral Associates. Hiring of another
Postdoctoral
Associate is currently in progress.
This significant extramural funding and
developed collaborations (see below) notwithstanding, I have
always
been and firmly intend to be in the future a hands-on, active
researcher
generating my own ideas, conducting my individual, separate
research
projects,
building new theoretical developments, and writing my own
computational
codes.
Selected Major Results
Introduction
of
Surface Plasmon Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (SPASER) [107],
[150].Spaser
generates local optical fields of high
intensity
and temporal coherence. Spaser will provide unprecedented
capabilities
for
sensing, probing, manipulation, and modification of
nanoobjects. Recent
quantum theory of the spaser predicts that it is a
ultrafast
(femtosecond) generator and nanoamplifier of local optical
fields [153]. Spaser can function as a
nanoamplifier similar to the common MOSFET transistor but
~103
times faster (with bandwidth ~10-100 THz). The paser and a
series of
principally-similar nanolasers have recently been observed
experimentally.
Adiabatic nanoconcentration of optical energy in nanoplasmonic
tapered waveguides [122], [143]. This theoretical
predictions
has opened up an new field of research and development leading
to a
number of fundamental publications and applications.
Introduction of attosecond metrology at the nanoscale
(Attosecond
Nanoplasmonic Field Microscope) [136].
Recent prediction of giant SPIDER (Surface-Plasmon-Induced
Drag-Effect Rectification) to
produce
high-field nanolocalized THz pulses [151].
Efficient
nanolens focusing energy of optical excitation in a given
nanofocus of
~1 nm
radius is proposed based on self-similar chain of a few
nanospheres [113].
Theory of nanolocalized surface-plasmon
eigenmodes of
nanostructured systems [103].
Prediction
of
the possibility [104]and
theory [112, 115]of nanoscale
energy concentration for femtosecond exciting
pulses using the means of coherent control. This
idea
provides unique possibilities for controlling energy of
ultrafast optical excitation of nanosystems on
nanometer-femtosecond
spatio-temporal scale. Now it is a thriving wide area of
research
workdwideIn this study,
Green’s function spectral expansion over surface-plasmon
eigenmodes was
developed and employed as both an analytical and
numerical tool.
Prediction
and
theory of enhanced optical
nonlinearities and surface-enhanced Raman scattering by
fractal
clusters and
nanocomposites [73, 74, 95, 96]. Many of these
predictions have been
experimentally confirmed. These effects are due to giant
fluctuations
and
enhancement of local fields in nanosystems predicted in [80].
Other
Significant Recent Results
Nanoplasmonic renormalization and enhancement of Coulomb
interactions [142].
Explanation,
theory,
and
numerical
simulation
of
high-power femtosecond laser damage of
dielectrics
as “Forest Fires” [115].
Prediction
of giant random enhancement of femtosecond
and attosecond local fields in disordered media (clusters,
composites
and rough
surfaces) under ultrafast excitation (“The Ninth Wave”
effect) [97].
Microscopic
theory of radiative and radiationless decay of a quantum
dot at a metal
surface
is developed based on random phase approximation for
electron gas in
metal [118]. Giant
enhancement of
relaxation is
predicted. (Collaboration with Los Alamos National
Laboratory.)
Theory and
interpretation of experimental results on phase-sensitive
near-field
scanning
optical microscopy (NSOM) of metal nanoparticles is
developed [110, 114].
(Collaboration
with
Los
Alamos
National
Laboratory.)
Theory and
interpretation of experimental data on enhanced second
harmonic
generation
(SHG) on nanostructured gold surfaces is developed [116].
It is shown that for such systems SHG is highly
depolarized and
dephased,
providing a perspective nanosource of high-intensity
illumination on
the
nanoscale. (Collaboration with École Normale
Supérieure
de Cachan,
France.)
Microscopic
many-body
theory
of
a
2d
electron gas with
Coulomb interaction in semiconductor quantum structures is
developed.
The
theory is based on Kadanoff-Baym-Keldysh field-theoretical
technique
and uses
self-consistent random-phase approximation (SCRPA, also
called the GW
approximation) [99, 102, 106].
Microscopic
theory
of
the
light-induced
(LID)
effect
based on non-equilibrium quantum field theory
(Kadanoff-Baym-Keldysh
technique) [94]. New
properties of the LID effect are found, which are due to
energy
dependence of
electron scattering.
Chaotic
behavior of quantum currents in a magnetic
field has been shown [93]. These currents bear
important information on long-range spatial correlation in
quantum-chaotic
states.
Predictions
and
theory
of
inhomogeneous
localization
and
chaos of elementary excitations (surface plasmons) in
nanostructured
systems [89, 90, 95].
A remarkable property of this chaos is
the existence of long-range spatial correlations.
