Nonlocal Response of Metallic Nanospheres Probed by Light, Electrons, and Atoms
Nonlocal Response of Metallic Nanospheres Probed by Light, Electrons, and Atoms
Inspired by recent measurements on individual metallic nanospheres that cannot be explained with traditional classical electrodynamics, we theoretically investigate the effects of nonlocal response by metallic nanospheres in three distinct settings: atomic spontaneous emission, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and light scattering. These constitute two near-field and one far-field measurements, with …
