Abstract

The resonance phenomena caused by the excitation of the surface and volume plasmons in the metal and ionized atomic clusters are studied in the framework of hydrodynamic and kinetic approaches with the inclusion of radiative, collisional, and kinetic (collisionless) damping mechanisms. The resonances of dipole moment at the frequencies of the volume plasmons are found to be strongly damped by the collision-induced losses, while the field amplitude at the central region of the cluster may exhibit large increase at the resonance of both kind of plasmons.

Excitation of surface and volume plasmons in a metal nanosphere by fast electrons

Journal Article Kostin, V.; Pavlichenko, I. - Physics of Plasmas

Collective multipole oscillations (surface and volume plasmons) excited in a metal nanosphere by moving electron and corresponding inelastic scattering spectra are studied based on the hydrodynamic approach. Along with the bulk (dielectric) losses traditionally taken into account, the surface and radiative ones are also considered as the physical mechanisms responsible for the plasmon damping. The second and third mechanisms are found to be essential for the surface plasmons (at small or large cluster radii, respectively) and depend very differently on the multipole mode order. The differential equations are obtained which describe the temporal evolution of every particular mode as thatmore »« less

Light scattering by a thin wire with a surface-plasmon resonance: Bifurcations of the Poynting vector field

Journal Article Luk'yanchuk, B; Ternovsky, V - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We analyze the energy flow during the scattering of a plane wave by a small homogeneous cylinder in the vicinity of surface-plasmon resonance, where {epsilon}{sup '}=Re {epsilon}=-1 ({epsilon} stands for permittivity). For the case of small dissipation, {epsilon}{sup ''}=Im {epsilon}<<1, this scattering can strongly deviate from the classical dipole approximation (Rayleigh scattering). In certain specified cases, the Rayleigh scattering is replaced with an anomalous light scattering regardless the wire smallness. The phenomenon is based on interplay of the usual dissipative and radiative damping, where the latter is related to inverse transformation of localized resonant plasmons into scattered light. The anomalousmore »« less

Surface plasmon polaritons in a semi-bounded degenerate plasma: Role of spatial dispersion and collisions

Journal Article Tyshetskiy, Yu; Kompaneets, R; Vladimirov, S - Physics of Plasmas

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in a semi-bounded degenerate plasma (e.g., a metal) are studied using the quasiclassical mean-field kinetic model, taking into account the spatial dispersion of the plasma (due to quantum degeneracy of electrons) and electron-ion (electron-lattice, for metals) collisions. SPP dispersion and damping are obtained in both retarded ({omega}/k{sub z}{approx}c) and non-retarded ({omega}/k{sub z} Much-Less-Than c) regions, as well as in between. It is shown that the plasma spatial dispersion significantly affects the properties of SPPs, especially at short wavelengths (less than the collisionless skin depth, {lambda} Less-Than-Or-Equivalent-To c/{omega}{sub pe}). Namely, the collisionless (Landau) damping of SPPs (duemore »« less

Final Technical Report

Technical Report Stenzel, Reiner; Urrutia, J

The nonlinear physics of electron magnetohydrodynamics (EMHD) in plasmas. Time-varying wave magnetic field exceeding the background magnetic field produces highly nonlinear whistler mode since the wave dispersion depends on the total magnetic field. There exists no theory for such whistler modes. The present experimental work is the first one to explore this regime of nonlinear whistlers. A field-reversed configuration has been found which has the same vortex topology as an MHD spheromak, termed a whistler spheromak. Whistler mirrors have compressed and twisted field lines propagating in the whistler mode. Their helicity properties have been studied. Whistler spheromaks and mirrors havemore »« less

Self-sustaining sound in collisionless, high-β plasma

Journal Article Kunz, M.; Squire, J.; Schekochihin, A.; ... - Journal of Plasma Physics

Using analytical theory and hybrid-kinetic numerical simulations, we demonstrate that, in a collisionless plasma, long-wavelength ion-acoustic waves (IAWs) with amplitudes $$δn/n_0≳2/β$$ (where $$β\gg1$$ is the ratio of thermal to magnetic pressure) generate sufficient pressure anisotropy to destabilize the plasma to firehose and mirror instabilities. These kinetic instabilities grow rapidly to reduce the pressure anisotropy by pitch-angle scattering and trapping particles, respectively, thereby impeding the maintenance of Landau resonances that enable such waves’ otherwise potent collisionless damping. The result is wave dynamics that evince a weakly collisional plasma: the ion distribution function is near-Maxwellian, the field-parallel flow of heat resembles itsmore »« less
