Unveiling the radiative local density of optical states of a plasmonic nanocavity by STM

Disentangling the radiative and non-radiative plasmon mode contributions to the total photonic density of states is a challenge. Here, the authors report a procedure to eliminate the electronic-structure factors from scanning tunnelling microscope luminescence spectra to isolate the radiative compon...
