Foundations of Nanoscale Energy Transfer in Molecular Plasmonics
Abstract
The objective of this work is to analyze the effectiveness of electromagnetically coupling a "bright" nanoparticle to dark modes of nanoparticle assemblies to create nanostructures with prolonged coherence times. The primary thrust is to test the hypothesis that molecular energetic models can be used to describe nanoscale energy transfer and confinement for metal nanoparticles under strong-coupling conditions. Because radiative recombination by dark modes is quantum mechanically forbidden, hybridization with a short-lived bright state is expected to increase the coherence lifetime of the coupled resonance
