Feizhi’s paper on silver nanowire plasmons is now online
Feizhi’s most recent paper, “Quantum coherent plasmon in silver nanowires: A real-time TDDFT study“, has been accepted to the Journal of Chemical Physics. The paper approaches the common classical concept of the plasmon from a quantum perspective. Excitations along different axes of these 1D nanostructures are investigated and coherent wave packets are studied using real-time […]
