Theory of electro-optic and chiral coupling in plasmonically enhanced HIOS (B10)

• Subject Area: Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: from 2013 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 182087777

The goal of this project is the development of a comprehensive theoretical framework for electrically driven plasmonic nano-gap structures with sandwiched hybrid inorganic/organic systems (HIOS) and for HIOS that are chirally coupled to plasmonic nano-structures. This will be done on the semi-classical level by a combination of numerical multi-scale modeling (Maxwell equations for light coupled to tight-binding/few-level Schrödinger equations for transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs)/conjugated organic molecules) and quasi-normal-mode based coupled-mode approaches including spatial dispersion and chiral coupling.
