Surface waves on metal-dielectric boundaries on the frequency of $ω_{pl}$
Abstract
Description
Surface optical plasmons on metal-dielectric boundaries of various shapes are studied. The study features by the exploration of plasmons of the frequency that is larger than $ω_{pl}/\sqrt{2}$ and approximately equal to $ω_{pl}$. These plasmons exist on thin films, thin cylinders, and on spheres. Such a plasmon does not exist on a single surface. For applications the use of plasmons of the ~$ω_{pl}$ frequency means the promotion of nanophotonics devices into a short wavelength range. For Ag this means the promotion to the wavelength of 140 nm.
