Plasmon-phonon and plasmon-magnon interaction in metamaterials: multi-physics paradigm for acousto-optical and magneto-optical technologies
Abstract
The Pis will research multi-physical coupled plasmon-phonon and plasmon-magnon dynamics in metamaterials to understand new opportunities in detection and manipulation of ultrasound and magnetic fields with optical means as well as opportunities in controlling optical signals with ultrasound and magnetism. The Pis will perform comprehensive analysis, followed by the development of analytical description and experimental demonstration, of (i) plasmon-phonon, and (ii) plasmon-magnon interaction in novel multiscale composites based on recently developed novel, nonlocal plasmonic-nanorod-based material platform. New materials will be incorporated during growth ofnanorod metarnaterial to facilitate controllable magneto-optical response or to achieve acoustic wave generation. Optical, magnetic, and acoustic properties of these composites will be studied experimentally. Finite element solvers will be extended to multi-physics domain, and the results of these calculations will be used in conjunction with experimental results to develop analytical description of multi-physical phenomena in complex systems. First year of the program will focus on finite-element theoretical and proof-of-principle experimental studies. Plasmon-phonon interaction will be analyzed in year 2, plasmon-magnon dynamics will be studied during year 3.
