We introduce a new experimental method to measure the local electromagnetic density of states (LDOS) by integrating the differential scattering cross section. The signal detected essentially reflects the intrinsic scattering response of the photonic structures and renders the partial LDOS dominated by evanescent modes. We give a theoretical understanding of the LDOS image formation and show a qualitative agreement between experimental images and theoretical maps. This approach can be practically applied to the direct measurement of an optical antenna's scattering efficiency and can provide valuable information for designing optimum structures utilized in radiative decay engineering. 相似文献

We use single self-assembled InGaAs quantum dots as internal probes to map the local density of optical states of photonic crystal membranes. The employed technique separates contributions from nonradiative recombination and spin-flip processes by properly accounting for the role of the exciton fine structure. We observe inhibition factors as high as 70 and compare our results to local density of optical states calculations available from the literature, thereby establishing a quantitative understanding of photon emission in photonic crystal membranes. 相似文献

We present measurements on plasmonic metamolecules under local excitation using cathodoluminescence which show a spatial redistribution of the local density of optical states at the same frequency where a sharp spectral Fano feature in extinction has been observed. Our analytical model shows that both near- and far-field effects arise due to interference of the same two eigenmodes of the system. We present quantitative insights both in a bare state, and in a dressed state picture that describe Fano interference either as near-field amplitude transfer between coupled bare states, or as interference of uncoupled eigenmodes in the far field. We identify the same eigenmode causing a dip in extinction to strongly enhance the radiative local density of optical states, making it a promising candidate for spontaneous emission control. 相似文献

We consider a single atom in an optical lattice, subject to a harmonic trapping potential. The problem is treated in the tight-binding approximation, with an extra parameter kappa denoting the strength of the harmonic trap. It is shown that the kappa-->0 limit of this problem is singular, in the sense that the density of states for a very shallow trap (kappa-->0) is qualitatively different from that of a translationally invariant lattice (kappa=0). The physics of this difference is discussed, and densities of states and wave functions are exhibited and explained. 相似文献

A formal proof to relate the concept of electromagnetic local density of states (LDOS) to the electric and magnetic dyadic Green's functions (DGF) is provided. The expression for LDOS is obtained by relating the electromagnetic energy density at any location in a medium at uniform temperature T to the electric and magnetic DGFs. The appropriate boundary conditions governing the DGFs are obtained and it is seen that the two types of DGFs are electromagnetic duals of each other. With this the concept of LDOS is also extended to material media. The LDOS is split into two terms—one that originates from the energy density in an infinite, homogeneous medium and the other that takes into account scattering from inhomogeneities. The second part can always be defined unambiguously, even in lossy materials. For lossy materials, the first part is finite only if spatial dispersion is taken into account. 相似文献

We have studied a single vortex with the staggered flux (SF) core based on the SU(2) slave-boson theory of high T(c) superconductors. We find that, whereas the center in the vortex core is a SF state, as one moves away from the core center a correlated staggered modulation of the hopping amplitude chi and pairing amplitude Delta becomes predominant. We predict that in this region the local density of states exhibits staggered modulation when measured on the bonds, which may be directly detected by STM experiments. 相似文献

We calculate the local density of states for the asymmetric Anderson model by applying a self-consistent perturbation approximation for the impurity electron's self-energy. The three-resonance structure obtained in the symmetric case at low temperatures, which features a narrow central peak at the Fermi level, is found to transform into a broad single resonance with increasing asymmetry. For any asymmetry the spectral density function approaches in the high temperature limit a broad two-resonance structure. 相似文献

We review our recent theoretical results for mesoscopic fluctuations of the local density of states in the presence of electron–electron interaction. We focus on the two specific cases: (i) a vicinity of interacting critical point corresponding to an Anderson–Mott transition, and (ii) a vicinity of non-interacting critical point in the presence of a weak electron–electron attraction. In both cases, strong mesoscopic fluctuations of the local density of states exist. 相似文献

We have measured the differential conductance of a tunnel junction between a thin metallic wire and a thick ground plane, as a function of the applied voltage. We find that near zero voltage, the differential conductance exhibits a dip, which scales as 1/square root of [V] down to voltages V approximately 10k(B)T/e. The precise voltage and temperature dependence of the differential conductance is accounted for by the effect on the tunneling density of states of the macroscopic electrodynamics contribution to electron-electron interaction, and not by the short-ranged screened-Coulomb repulsion at microscopic scales. 相似文献

Using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, we have studied the local density of states (LDOS) of graphene over step edges in boron nitride. Long-wavelength oscillations in the LDOS are observed with maxima parallel to the step edge. Their wavelength and amplitude are controlled by the energy of the quasiparticles allowing a direct probe of the graphene dispersion relation. We also observe a faster decay of the LDOS oscillations away from the step edge than in conventional metals. This is due to the chiral nature of the Dirac fermions in graphene. 相似文献

Electron energy loss spectroscopy performed in transmission electron microscopes is shown to directly render the photonic local density of states with unprecedented spatial resolution, currently below the nanometer. Two special cases are discussed in detail: (i) 2D photonic structures with the electrons moving along the translational axis of symmetry and (ii) quasiplanar plasmonic structures under normal incidence. Nanophotonics in general and plasmonics, in particular, should benefit from these results connecting the unmatched spatial resolution of electron energy loss spectroscopy with its ability to probe basic optical properties such as the photonic local density of states. 相似文献

One-dimensional electron systems (1DESs) containing two and one occupied subbands are found below the different types of [11;2] steps of the InAs(110) surface. Using low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy, we determined the subband energies, the disorder potential, and the local density of states of these 1DESs. The rather complete knowledge of the 1DES allowed us to compare the measured LDOS with a single-particle calculation. Surprisingly, we did not find significant deviations from the calculation albeit the electron-electron interaction in the 1DESs is stronger than the electron-disorder interaction. 相似文献

The local density of states (LDOS) of two-dimensional square lattice photonic crystal (PhC) defect cavity is studied.The results show that the LDOS in the centre is greatly reduced,while the LDOS at the point off the centre (for example,at the point (0.3a,0.4a),where a is the lattice constant) is extremely enhanced.Further,the disordered radii are introduced to imitate the real devices fabricated in our experiment,and then we study the LDOS of PhC cavity with configurations of different disordered radii.The results show that in the disordered cavity,the LDOS in the centre is still greatly reduced,while the LDOS at the point (0.3a,0.4a) is still extremely enhanced.It shows that the LDOS analysis is useful.When a laser is designed on the basis of the square lattice PhC rod cavity,in order to enhance the spontaneous emission,the active materials should not be inserted in the centre of the cavity,but located at positions off the centre.So LDOS method gives a guide to design the positions of the active materials (quantum dots) in the lasers. 相似文献

We calculated the local density of state for various positions in a photonic crystal of honeycomb lattice to study how the
spontaneous emission rate of a radiating dipole is altered in the presence of the photonic crystal. The local density of states
is found to be position-sensitive and its value can be enhanced or depressed relative to the density of states, depending
on the location of the dipole. Our study shows that the density of states tends to underestimate the effect of a photonic
crystal on the prohibition of light propagation, while on the contrary tends to overestimate the effect on the enhancement
of light emission. The calculations also indicate that it is possible to tailor the spontaneous emission of an active medium
by careful selecting its location in the photonic crystal. The results are helpful in determining the insertion location of
the active medium and in evaluating the efficiency of active photonic crystal devices such as light-emitting diodes or lasers. 相似文献

We present numerical calculations of the local density of optical states (LDOS) in the near field of disordered plasmonic films. The calculations are based on an integral volume method, that takes into account polarization and retardation effects, and allows us to discriminate radiative and non-radiative contributions to the LDOS. At short distance, the LDOS fluctuations are dominated by non-radiative channels, showing that changes in the spontaneous dynamics of dipole emitters are driven by non-radiative coupling to plasmon modes. Maps of radiative and non-radiative LDOS exhibit strong fluctuations, but with substantially different spatial distributions. 相似文献

Within the general framework of local quantum field theory a physically motivated condition on the energy-level density of well-localized states is proposed and discussed. It is shown that any model satisfying this condition obeys a strong form of the principle of causal (statistical) independence, which manifests itself in a specific algebraic structure of the local algebras (split property). It is also shown that the proposed condition holds in a free field theory.Dedicated to H. J. Borchers on the occasion of his 60th birthday 相似文献
