Transparent conductors as solar energy materials: A panoramic review (2007, background): “The initial explanation [169,176], in terms of surface plasmon polaritons, has been given strong support through near-field optical measurements in recent work [164,165,177].”
Plasmons in metal nanostructures (2001, background): “However, the precise nature of the surface plasmon interaction with the subwavelengthsized holes is not fully understood and is still under investigation (Fischer, 1986; Schröter and Heitmann, 1998; Treacy, 1999; Grupp et al., 1999; Kim et al., 1999; Grupp et al., 2000; Martin-Moreno et al., 2001; H”
