论文摘要
表面等离子体在能量中不对称地表面失真裂解,导致零点能量降低。这是因为表面等离子体特征值是频率的平方,这对于电磁激发通常是正确的。我们利用基于共形映射的方法来证明表面波纹下的不对称分裂,从而导致单个波纹金属表面的零点能量降低,导致表面重建有助于表面重建,但本身太小,无法驱动重建。但是,通过引入第二金属表面,能量的显着降低足以驱动汞薄膜的不稳定性。
Surface plasmons subject to a surface distortion split asymmetrically in energy resulting in a net lowering of zero-point energy. This is because surface plasmon eigenvalues are the square of frequencies, a statement generally true for electromagnetic excitations. We utilize the method based on conformal mapping to demonstrate asymmetric splitting under surface corrugations leading to a decrease in zero-point energy of a single corrugated metallic surface contributing to surface reconstructions but too small on its own to drive the reconstruction. However, by introducing a second metallic surface more significant lowering of energy is seen sufficient to drive the instability of a mercury thin film.
