Quantum mechanical effects in plasmonic structures with subnanometre gaps

Recent work has shown that quantum mechanical effects in plasmonic nanogap structures become important as the gap distances approach the subnanometre length-scale. Here, the authors review the major findings which challenge the classical picture of these structures and discuss future directions for...
