Plasmon Modes

In atomic clusters, plasmon modes are generally gained by the resonant responses for external fields. However, these resonant methods still carry some defects: some plasmon modes may not have been found as that may not have been excited by the external fields. Recently, by employing the extended Hubbard model to describe electron systems of atomic clusters, we have presented the eigen-oscillation equation of charge to study plasmon modes. In this work, based on the free-electron gas model, we further explore the eigen-equation method. Under different external electric fields, some of the plasmon mode spectrums with obvious differences are found, which display the defects of the resonant methods. All the plasmon modes obtained by the resonant methods are predicted by the eigen-equation method. This effectively shows that the eigen-equation method is feasible and reliable in the process of finding plasmon. In addition, various kinds of plasmons are displayed by charge distributions, and the evolution features of plasmon with system parameters are gained by the energy absorption spectrum.

This article examines the intriguing physical properties of nanowires, with particular emphasis on self-organizing atom chains. It begins with an overview of the one-dimensional free electron model and some interesting phenomena of one-dimensional electron systems. It derives an expression for the 1D density of states, which exhibits a singularity at the bottom of the band and extends the free-electron model, taking into consideration a weak periodic potential that is induced by the lattice. It also describes the electrostatic interactions between the electrons and goes on to discuss two interesting features of 1D systems: the quantization of conductance and Peierls instability. Finally, the article presents the experimental results of a nearly ideal one-dimensional system, namely self-organizing platinum atom chains on a Ge(001) surface, focusing on their formation, quantum confinement between the Pt chains and the occurrence of a Peierls transition within the chains.
