Summary: This paper theoretically investigates atomic microscopy at the interface of a silver silica AgSiO2 nano-composite and cesium atomic medium using surface plasmon polariton dispersion relation. The study reveals sharp localization peaks on both the real and imaginary parts of the dispersion relation of SPPs. A sharp single localization peak is reported in sub-half wave length domain with minimum uncertainty in position and high precision probability. The study also reveals multiple localized peaks in one wavelength domain with high intensity of control field. The localization probability ranges from 30-35% at the imaginary part and 96-98% at the real part on the dispersion relation of SPPs. The significance of this work is that it enhances the localization probability without disturbing the position uncertainty through the volume fractional change of the nano particle.

Summary: Research has found that the surface plasmon polariton (SPP)-assisted photoluminescence enhancement of MoS2 monolayer via a suspended periodic metallic (SPM) structure can achieve more than two orders of magnitude enhancement, primarily due to concentrated local field and quantum yield amplification. This method may provide a powerful way to boost two-dimensional exciton emission compared to nanoparticle-based geometries reported so far.

Summary: In this study, a suspended periodic metallic (SPM) structure was used to achieve surface plasmon polariton (SPP)-assisted photoluminescence (PL) enhancement of MoS2 monolayer, providing more than two orders of magnitude enhancement without the need for metallic nanoparticle-based plasmonic geometries. The pronounced enhancement was attributed to concentrated local field of SPP enabled excitation rate increment and quantum yield amplification by the SPM nanostructure, showcasing a powerful way to boost two-dimensional exciton emission by plasmonic effects.

Summary: The paper explores the modification of the dispersion relation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) by the dielectric tensor of a four-level atomic medium coupled with the dielectric function of silver silica nano-composites. Rapid damping of SPPs is utilized to localize atomic particles in two dimensions, with the direction, phase, and intensity of the control field playing crucial roles. Different quadrants exhibit ten, six, four, and two localization peaks, along with a single broad peak symmetric about the origin, which may have implications for quantum information in Plasmonster technology.

Summary: The interplay between light and matter at the nanoscale can be enhanced by Bloch surface plasmon polariton (Bloch-SPP) on the plasmonic lattice. An Ag nanohole array arranged in a hexagonal formation acted as an optical cavity to achieve directional and polarized amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) of R6G molecules. A 100-fold enhancement of ASE was observed at a 15-degree emission angle under TM polarization when the pump power density exceeded a threshold of 198 W/cm2 based on degenerated high state density modes. Additionally, the Bloch-SPP modes modulated a specific polarization dependence of ASE, with the degree of polarization increasing from 1.3 to 2.1 when the pump power density exceeded the ASE threshold. This work elucidates the interaction between gain media and plasmonic systems, providing a foundation for the design of plasmonic devices.

Summary: Micro/nano scale surface modifications of titanium based orthopedic and cardiovascular implants have been shown to improve biocompatibility. However, bacterial infection remains a major concern for implant failure. Recent studies have found that superhydrophobic surfaces can prevent protein and bacterial cell adhesion. This study used a thermochemical treatment to modify the properties of the titanium surface and achieved superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic surfaces by modifying with polyethylene glycol and silane, respectively. The modified surfaces significantly reduced bacterial cell adhesion and prevented biofilm formation.

Summary: In this study, a novel strategy is proposed to manipulate the switching and slow wave features of spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) based on plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) spectral responses. The strategy involves loading a combined module of split square-ring resonators and electric-LC resonators into the SPP waveguide to achieve a high modulation contrast in SPP transmission at the PIT peak frequency.

Summary: This study focuses on optimizing the electromagnetic modes in meta-atoms and engineering material nonlinearities at the nanoscale to enhance the efficiency of second-harmonic generation using all-dielectric metasurfaces. By simultaneously optimizing heterostructures and meta-atoms, an all-dielectric polaritonic metasurface with high second-harmonic generation power conversion factor and power conversion efficiencies is experimentally realized. These results open up a new direction for designing efficient nonlinear all-dielectric metasurfaces for classical and quantum light sources.
