A projection method for statics and dynamics of lattice spin systems
Full text linkA method based on Monte Carlo sampling of the probability flows projected
onto the subspace of one or more slow variables is proposed for investigation
of dynamic and static properties of lattice spin systems. We illustrate the
method by applying it, with projection onto the order-parameter subspace, to
the three-dimensional 3-state Potts model in equilibrium and to metastable
decay in a three-dimensional 3-state kinetic Potts model.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, RevTex, final version to appear in Phys. Rev.

High-resolution surface plasmon imaging of gold nanoparticles by energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy
Get PDFWe demonstrate the imaging capabilities of energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy at high-energy resolution in the low-energy-loss region, reporting the direct image of a surface plasmon of an elongated gold nanoparticle at energies around 1 eV. Using complimentary model calculations performed within the boundary element method approach we can assign the observed results to the plasmon eigenmodes of the metallic nanoparticle
Measuring the quantum efficiency of single radiating dipoles using a scanning mirror
Full text linkUsing scanning probe techniques, we show the controlled manipulation of the
radiation from single dipoles. In one experiment we study the modification of
the fluorescence lifetime of a single molecular dipole in front of a movable
silver mirror. A second experiment demonstrates the changing plasmon spectrum
of a gold nanoparticle in front of a dielectric mirror. Comparison of our data
with theoretical models allows determination of the quantum efficiency of each
radiating dipole.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
