AI Article Synopsis
- * It highlights how plasmons propagate from the center to the edges of the nanowires, showing higher flux density at the center regardless of the wavelength affecting their propagation.
- * Findings suggest that increasing the number of nanowires enhances plasmon flux density, emphasizing the potential for tuning plasmonics through strategic coupling of nanowires.
Article Abstract
The surface plasmon resonance in low-dimensional semiconducting materials is a source of valuable scientific phenomenon which opens widespread prospects for novel applications. A systematic study to shed light on the propagation of plasmons at the interface of GaN nanowire is reported. A comprehensive analysis of the interaction of light with GaN nanowires and the propagation of plasmons is carried out to uncover further potentials of the material. The results obtained on the basis of calculations designate the interaction of light with nanowires, which produced plasmons at the interface that propagate along the designed geometry starting from the center of the nanowire towards its periphery, having more flux density at the center of the nanowire. The wavelength of light does not affect the propagation of plasmons but the flux density of plasmons appeared to increase with the wavelength. Similarly, an increment in the flux density of plasmons occurs even in the case of coupled and uncoupled nanowires with wavelength, but more increment occurs in the case of coupling. Further, it was found that an increase in the number of nanowires increases the flux density of plasmons at all wavelengths irrespective of uniformity in the propagation of plasmons. The findings point to the possibility of tuning the plasmonics by using a suitable number of coupled nanowires in assembly.

Plasmonic "antenna reactor" alloys, consisting of a plasmonic material doped with a catalytically active metal, show great promise for efficient photocatalysis. However, while simple, intuitive, and approximate design principles such as the Sabatier principle have been developed for thermal and electrocatalysis, similar design principles for plasmonic catalysts remain elusive. Here, we develop these simple design principles by using real-time, time-dependent density functional theory to study small molecule activation (CH, CO, HO, and N) on a number of Cu-based antenna reactors and elucidate trends.

Adjustable resonant peaks are necessary for high-precision photonic devices in biosensing, filtering, and optical communication. In this study, we focus on dual-ribbon two-dimensional gold gratings with varying periods and examine the Rayleigh conditions for different grating periods in detail to understand the excitation of resonance wavelengths. We demonstrate adjustable resonance behavior in an asymmetric dual-ribbon gold grating with periods ranging from 400 to 600 nm.

As Alzheimer disease (AD) progresses, pathological tau spreads by cell-to-cell propagation of tau. This study aims to elucidate the impact of AD-associated post-translational modifications of tau-on-tau propagation. Tau propagation reporter constructs distinguishing donor cells from recipient cells were developed, and additional constructs were made with tau residues mutated from serine or threonine to aspartate to mimic the negative charge of a phosphorylation and/or from lysine to glutamine to mimic the charge-neutralizing effect of acetylation.

Graphene is a privileged 2D platform for hosting confined light-matter excitations known as surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), as it possesses low intrinsic losses and a high degree of optical confinement. However, the isotropic nature of graphene limits its ability to guide and focus SPPs, making it less suitable than anisotropic elliptical and hyperbolic materials for polaritonic lensing and canalization. Here, we present graphene/CrSBr as an engineered 2D interface that hosts highly anisotropic SPP propagation across mid-infrared and terahertz energies.

Quasi-line waves represent a distinct class of propagation modes along non-complementary impedance surfaces, offering an alternative to the conventional line waves typically formed by complementary impedance surfaces. In this study, we introduce a novel design for quasi-line waves utilizing non-dual, purely inductive impedance structures. By incorporating multilayer graphene, our design achieves wide bandwidth and extended propagation lengths in the terahertz range, with field concentration localized at the edges of the inductive surfaces.
