The surface plasmon self-interference excited by a strongly focused, linearly polarized vortex beam at off-axis illumination in a paraxial regime is analytically studied. The off-axis excitation is investigated using a geometrical model. The combination of an angular spectrum representation and homogeneous transformation is applied to derive the integral expressions of the surface plasmon polariton fields for off-axis directions both parallel and perpendicular to polarization plane, and an off-axis convergence angle is used to compute the integral. The surface plasmon excitation is represented by the relative peak intensity of the longitudinal field, while its standing wave is characterized by the full width at half-maximum of the transmitted field intensity distribution profile. Both models consistently show that even in ideal Gaussian microscopic imaging systems, self-interference degradation exists. When the off-axis angle increases, the surface plasmon interference disappears and the fields detune out of surface plasmon resonance.

Light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) are promising candidates for fully solution-processed lighting applications because they can comprise a single active-material layer and air-stable electrodes. While their performance is often claimed to be independent of the electrode material selection due to the in situ formation of electric double layers (EDLs), we demonstrate conceptually and experimentally that this understanding needs to be modified. Specifically, the exciton generation zone is observed to be affected by the electrode work function.

Copper nanoparticles (NPs) can be coupled with cuprous oxide, combining photoelectrocatalytic properties with a broad-range optical absorption. In the present study, we aimed to correlate changes in morphology, electronic structure and plasmonic properties of Cu NPs at different stages of oxidation. We demonstrated the ability to monitor the oxidation of NPs at the nanometric level using STEM-EELS spectral maps, which were analyzed with machine learning algorithms.

Monolayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides, such as MoS, have attracted significant attention for their exceptional electronic and optical properties, positioning them as ideal candidates for advanced optoelectronic applications. Despite their strong excitonic effects, the atomic-scale thickness of these materials limits their light absorption efficiency, necessitating innovative strategies to enhance light-matter interactions. Plasmonic nanostructures offer a promising solution to overcome those challenges by amplifying the electromagnetic field and also introducing other mechanisms, such as hot electron injection.
