Plasmonics: Metal Nanostructures for Subwavelength Photonic Devices (2006, background): “Regarding application of these results to gaps < 1 − 2 nm, in such cases, it has been noted [27] that the ef-”
Optical excitations in electron microscopy (2009, background): “In this regard, nonlocality is important at distances ∼ vF /ω (Larkin and Stockman, 2005; Larkin et al., 2004), as derived from the minimum momentum transfer in the e-h pair region for a given excitation frequency ω (see Fig.”
Surface enhanced fluorescence (2008, background): “• For the low frequency regime, ω ωSP where ωSP is the surface plasmon frequency and when distance d is of the order of 1 nm, the dominating phenomenon is Landau damping [83], an efficient damping of the fluorescence.”
Plasmonics: Fundamentals and Applications (2007, background): “We note that for very small gaps with 2a < 2 nm, the effects of local fields due to unscreened surface electrons become important [Larkin et al., 2004], leading to a further decrease in Leff.”
