Abstract:
Light-matter interactions in nanostructures have shown great potential in physics, chemistry, surface science, materials science, and nanophotonics. Herein, for the first time, the feasibility of strong coupling between plasmon-induced magnetic resonant and propagating surface plasmonic modes at visible light frequencies is theoretically demonstrated. Taking advantage of the strong coupling between these modes allowed for a narrow-linewidth hybrid mode with a huge electromagnetic field enhancement to be acquired. This work can serve as a promising guide for designing a platform with strong coupling based on magnetic resonance at visible and even ultraviolet light frequencies and also offers an avenue for further exploration of strong light-matter interactions at the nanoscale.

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene...
