We developed a wavefunction theory to precisely describe surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and their behavior. This enables efficient, on-demand design of plasmonic nanocavities and metamaterials.

Area of Science:

  • Photonics and Nanotechnology
  • Condensed Matter Physics

Background:

  • Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in plasmonic nanocavities are crucial for advanced applications.
  • Current theoretical frameworks limit the on-demand design of these nanocavities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a theoretical framework for describing individual SPPs and their near-field/far-field behaviors.
  • To enable high-throughput, on-demand design of plasmonic nanocavities.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a wavefunction theory based on the wave nature of SPPs.
  • Introduced a two-body interaction function and a 'shell' model for many-body interactions.
  • Explicitly described the wavefunction of individual SPPs.

Main Results:
