Research
Theoretical
Nanoplasmonics, Nanooptics,
and Condensed
Matter and Optical Physics Theory
The study includes
theory of electronic, optical
(especially, nonlinear-optical and ultrafast-optical) properties of
nanostructured systems: 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.
There is approximately 50-50% distribution of my work between
analytical and
numerical theory, which gives me a great “fair advantage”. But the
most important are still the new ideas, which can be judged from the
papers
published (see LIST
OF PUBLICATIONS Section).
Selected Major Results
- Introduction of attosecond nanoplasmonics [136]. The proposed attosecond plasmonic field microscope allows one directly and non-invasively to measure nanometer-femtosecond spatio-temporal dynamics of local plasmonic fields in metal nanostructures.
- Proposal of the spatio-temporal coherent control on the nanoscale [137]. This paper brings to the nanoscale the ideas of the synthetic aperture radar (SAR), or phased-array antenna (also called a beam former in the radar technology). This allows one to dynamically focus the optical energy in nanoscopic spatial region and femtosecond tine intervals simultaneously.
- Prediction
of the possibility [107], and theory
and numerical study [117 , 128 , 133 , 135 , 141] of nanoscale energy concentration
for femtosecond exciting pulses by means of coherent control. This idea provides unique possibilities for
controlling energy of ultrafast optical excitation of nanosystems on
nanometer-femtosecond spatio-temporal scale. There has recently been
several direct
experimental observations of the coherent control on the nanoscale
inspired by these predictions.
- Introduction
of an effect of Adiabatic Energy Nanoconcentration [122 , 137]: high-efficiency transfer of energy from
the far zone to near-zone in tapered nanoplasmonic waveguides. This
effect is
highly promising for nanooptics and nanotechnology, in particular, for
ultramicroscopy and nanomodification. There has been a nunber of
experimental observations of this effect and theoretical developments
in this field of adiabatic nanooptics.
- Prediction
and theory of surface
plasmon amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (SPASER) [107 , 119 , 124]. Spaser is
similar to laser, but does not emit light. Instead, it generates local
optical
fields of sirface plasmons with high intensity and temporal coherence.
Spaser will provide
unprecedented capabilities for sensing, probing, manipulation, and
modification
of nanoobjects. The SPASER effect has recently been observed
experimentally and
is a subject of active research efforts of many groups.
- Introduction and thery of an
efficient nanolens focusing energy of optical excitation in a nanofocus
of ~1
nm radius, based on self-similar chain of a few nanospheres [113 , 124 , 132 , 138].
- Analytical proof and numerical confirmation of a theorem that any Anderson-localized surface plasmon is dark (i.e., it cannot or excited or observed from the far zone), and it is impossible that all surface plasmons of a nanosystem are Anderson-localized, no matter how strong disorder is [103].
- Prediction, theory, and numerical simulation of enhanced optical nonlinearities and surface-enhanced Raman scattering by nanoclusters and nanocomposites [41-43 , 49 , 52-58 , 64, 73 , 114 , 115 , 125-128 , 130 , 133 , 135 , 139]. Many of these predictions have been experimentally confirmed. These effects are related to giant fluctuations of local fields in nanosystems predicted in [80].
- From the fundamental principle of causality, it is rigorously shown that the negative refraction in a uniform and isotropic medium is impossible without significant optical losses in the region of the negative refraction [134].
Selected Other Significant Recent Results
- Theory of nonlocal effects in
nanoplasmonics: radiation and relaxation of a proximity emitter [118]
and the ultimate resolution of imaging by nanoplasmonic systems [123].
- Explanation, theory, and numerical simulation of high-power femtosecond laser damage of dielectrics as “Forest Fires” [114 , 125].
- 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.
