Theoretical
Nanoplasmonics and Nanooptics, Ultrafast Nanooptics,
Nanooptical Phenomena at Surfaces and in Condensed Matter
The study includes theory of
electronic, optical (especially, nonlinear-optical and
ultrafast-optical) properties of nanostructured systems:
plasmonic nanoclusters and fractal clusters,
metal/dielectric nanocomposites, nano-rough surfaces, and
metal/semiconductor nanostructures. The study invokes
various analytical methods and large-scale computer
modeling. The most important are the new ideas, which can be
judged from the papers published (see LIST OF PUBLICATIONS
Section).
This research is supported by grants
from the US Department of Energy, a grant from US-Israel
Binational Science Foundation, and NIRT grant from the US
National Science Foundation (see GRANTS AND AWARDS Section for details).
MIS’s research group includes two Postdoctoral Associates.
Hiring of another Postdoctoral Associate is currently in
progress.
This significant extramural funding and
developed collaborations (see below) notwithstanding, I have
always been and firmly intend to be in the future a hands-on,
active researcher generating my own ideas, conducting my
individual, separate research projects, building new
theoretical developments, and writing my own computational
codes.
Selected Major Results
Introduction
of
Surface Plasmon Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (SPASER) [107],
[150].Spaser generates local optical fields of
high intensity and temporal coherence. Spaser will provide
unprecedented capabilities for sensing, probing,
manipulation, and modification of nanoobjects. Recent
quantum theory of the spaser predicts that it is a
ultrafast (femtosecond) generator and nanoamplifier of
local optical fields [153]. Spaser can function as a nanoamplifier similar
to the common MOSFET transistor but ~103
times faster (with bandwidth ~10-100 THz). The paser and a
series of principally-similar nanolasers have recently been
observed experimentally.
Adiabatic nanoconcentration of optical energy in nanoplasmonic
tapered waveguides [122], [143]. This theoretical
predictions has opened up an new field of research and
development leading to a number of fundamental publications and
applications.
Introduction of attosecond metrology at the nanoscale
(Attosecond Nanoplasmonic Field Microscope) [136].
Recent prediction of giant SPIDER (Surface-Plasmon-Induced
Drag-Effect Rectification) to
produce high-field nanolocalized THz pulses [151].
Efficient
nanolens focusing energy of optical excitation in a given
nanofocus of ~1 nm radius is proposed based on
self-similar chain of a few nanospheres [113].
Theory of nanolocalized surface-plasmon
eigenmodes of nanostructured systems [103].
Prediction
of
the possibility [104]and theory [112, 115]of nanoscale energy
concentration for femtosecond exciting pulses using the
means of coherent control. This idea
provides unique possibilities for controlling energy of
ultrafast optical excitation of nanosystems on
nanometer-femtosecond spatio-temporal scale. Now it is a
thriving wide area of research workdwideIn this study, Green’s function
spectral expansion over surface-plasmon eigenmodes was
developed and employed as both an analytical and
numerical tool.
Prediction
and
theory of enhanced optical nonlinearities and
surface-enhanced Raman scattering by fractal clusters and
nanocomposites [73, 74, 95, 96]. Many of these
predictions have been experimentally confirmed. These
effects are due to giant fluctuations and enhancement of
local fields in nanosystems predicted in [80].
Other Significant Recent Results
Nanoplasmonic renormalization and enhancement of Coulomb
interactions [142].
Explanation, theory, and numerical
simulation of high-power femtosecond laser damage of
dielectrics as “Forest Fires” [115].
Prediction of giant random
enhancement of femtosecond and attosecond local fields in
disordered media (clusters, composites and rough surfaces)
under ultrafast excitation (“The Ninth Wave” effect) [97].
Microscopic theory of radiative and radiationless
decay of a quantum dot at a metal surface is developed
based on random phase approximation for electron gas in
metal [118]. Giant
enhancement of relaxation is predicted. (Collaboration
with Los Alamos National Laboratory.)
Theory and interpretation of experimental results
on phase-sensitive near-field scanning optical microscopy
(NSOM) of metal nanoparticles is developed [110, 114]. (Collaboration with
Los Alamos National Laboratory.)
Theory and interpretation of experimental data on
enhanced second harmonic generation (SHG) on
nanostructured gold surfaces is developed [116]. It is
shown that for such systems SHG is highly depolarized and
dephased, providing a perspective nanosource of
high-intensity illumination on the nanoscale.
(Collaboration with École Normale Supérieure de Cachan,
France.)
Microscopic
many-body
theory
of
a
2d
electron gas with Coulomb interaction in semiconductor
quantum structures is developed. The theory is based on
Kadanoff-Baym-Keldysh field-theoretical technique and uses
self-consistent random-phase approximation (SCRPA, also
called the GW approximation) [99,
102, 106].
Microscopic
theory
of
the
light-induced
(LID)
effect based on non-equilibrium quantum field theory
(Kadanoff-Baym-Keldysh technique) [94]. New properties of the
LID effect are found, which are due to energy dependence of
electron scattering.
Chaotic
behavior of quantum currents in a magnetic field has been
shown [93]. These currents bear important
information on long-range spatial correlation in
quantum-chaotic states.
Predictions
and
theory
of
inhomogeneous
localization
and
chaos of elementary excitations (surface plasmons) in
nanostructured systems [89,
90, 95]. A remarkable property of
this chaos is the existence of long-range spatial
correlations.
