The plasmonic eigenvalue problem

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: A plasmon of a bounded domain OmegasubsetmathbbRn is a non-trivial bounded harmonic function on mathbbRnsetminuspartialOmega which is continuous at partialOmega and whose exterior and interior normal derivatives at partialOmega have a constant ratio. We call this ratio a plasmonic eigenvalue of Omega. Plasmons arise in the description of electromagnetic waves hitting a metallic particle Omega. We investigate these eigenvalues and prove that they form a sequence of numbers converging to one. Also, we prove regularity of plasmons, derive a variational characterization, and prove a second order perturbation formula. The problem can be reformulated in terms of Dirichlet-Neumann operators, and as a side result we derive a formula for the shape derivative of these operators.
