Published: August 2013

The kinetic theory of fully degenerate electrons in a weakly coupled plasma is considered. We derive an evolution equation for a generalized Fermi surface that also depends on the electron spin state. The equation allows for the study of weakly nonlinear modifications of the Fermi surface within perturbation theory. We apply the theory to Landau damping of ion-acoustic waves. The transition to the nonlinear stage and the nonlinear modification of the Fermi surface are investigated.

Understanding plasmon damping in gold nanorods (AuNRs) is crucial for optimizing their use in photochemical processes and biosensing. This study used dark-field microscopy and spectroscopy to explore plasmon damping in single AuNRs on graphene monolayers (AuNR@GL) with pyridine derivatives as adsorbates. The Au-graphene heterostructure caused a Fermi-level downshift, making graphene a dominant electron acceptor.

The fundamental characteristics of collective interactions in topological band structures can be revealed by the exploration of charge screening in topological materials. In particular, distinct anisotropic screening behaviors are predicted to occur in Dirac nodal line semimetals (DNLSMs) due to their peculiar anisotropic low-energy dispersion. Despite the recent extensive theoretical research, experimental observations of exotic charge screening in DNLSMs remain elusive, which is partly attributed to the coexisting trivial bands near the Fermi energy.

Article Synopsis
  • A sumanene monolayer with a unique Kagome-like lattice features two flat bands and two Dirac cones, which can be designed using carbon clusters.
  • First-principles simulations show that surface charge doping can effectively adjust the Fermi level between these bands, allowing for the transformation of the semiconducting monolayer into a semimetal using Li/Na/K atoms.
  • This doped sumanene exhibits high theoretical storage capacity, rapid charge capability, and exceptional structural stability, making it an attractive anode material for alkali-metal batteries.

Energy-level rich nanorings hybridizing Ag, Au and AgCl as high-performance SERS substrate for numerous molecules.

The current surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates typically feature a single energy level, posing challenges in coordinating electromagnetic enhancement (EM) and chemical enhancement (CM), thereby limiting the sensitive detection of numerous crucial target molecules. In this study, novel aggregated nanorings (a-NRs) hybridizing Ag, Au and AgCl are constructed as SERS substrates. On one hand, the obtained a-NRs exhibit robust localized surface plasmon resonance absorption, whose wavelength can be tuned to match three commonly used laser wavelengths (532, 633 and 785 nm) to gain strong EM effect.
