研究目的
Investigating the realization of pseudospin dependent edge states in plasmonic metasurfaces, including full electrodynamic interactions, to understand their propagation properties and optical response under near-field and far-field excitation.
研究成果
The study demonstrates the existence of pseudospin dependent edge states in plasmonic metasurfaces, characterized by the spin angular momentum of the electromagnetic fields. These states are not purely unidirectional, and their propagation direction depends on the local spin angular momentum and the polarization of the excitation source. The research highlights the importance of considering full electrodynamic interactions, including retardation and radiative effects, in the design and analysis of plasmonic metasurfaces.
研究不足
The study is limited by the quasistatic approximation's inability to fully capture radiative and retardation effects for larger nanoparticles and lattice constants. Additionally, the edge states are not purely unidirectional and are susceptible to backscattering, unlike topological edge states.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses a coupled dipole method to model plasmonic metasurfaces, considering full electrodynamic interactions including retardation and radiative effects. The methodology involves calculating the eigenmodes of an infinite lattice and the optical response under far-field excitation.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples are 2D arrays of silver nanorods (modeled as spheroidal nanoparticles) arranged in a specific lattice geometry. The data sources include theoretical models and numerical simulations.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Silver nanoparticles with specified radius and height, arranged in a triangular lattice with unit cells containing six nanoparticles.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study involves setting up an infinite lattice of nanoparticles with periodic boundary conditions, applying Bloch functions, and solving the coupled dipole equation. The optical response is studied under far-field excitation, and edge states are probed with a near-field excitation source.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis includes calculating the extinction cross section, spectral function, and characterizing the spin angular momentum of the electromagnetic fields to understand the propagation properties of edge states.
