Single-electron induced surface plasmons on a topological nanoparticle

The surface states in topological insulators are delocalised and immune to imperfections. Here, the authors show that single electrons in topologically protected surface states on a nanoparticle can create a surface charge layer that screens the particle, mediating interaction between bulk phonons a...

Single-electron induced surface plasmons on a topological nanoparticle
description The surface states in topological insulators are delocalised and immune to imperfections. Here, the authors show that single electrons in topologically protected surface states on a nanoparticle can create a surface charge layer that screens the particle, mediating interaction between bulk phonons and light, giving an additional absorption peak.
