Exclusive and efficient excitation of plasmonic breathing modes of a metallic nanodisc with the radially polarized optical beams

Abstract Background The plasmonic breathing modes of a metallic nanodisc are dark plasmonic modes and thus also have the advantage of much smaller radiation loss. These modes emerged previously in electron energy loss spectroscopy experiments and were then pursued with optical excitation methods. Re...
