On the validity of the local Fourier analysis
Local Fourier analysis (LFA) is a useful tool in predicting the convergence
factors of geometric multigrid methods (GMG). As is well known, on rectangular
domains with periodic boundary conditions this analysis gives the exact
convergence factors of such methods. In this work, using the Fourier method, we
extend these results by proving that such analysis yields the exact convergence
factors for a wider class of problems
Hot-Electron Intraband Luminescence from GaAs Nanospheres Mediated by Magnetic Dipole Resonances
Significantly enhanced
electric field in plasmonic hot spots can
dramatically increase the linear and nonlinear absorption of light,
leading to a high-temperature electron gas which radiates, through
mainly intraband transition, a broadband luminescence quite similar
to blackbody radiation. Here, we demonstrate that such hot-electron
intraband luminescence (HEIL) can also be achieved by exploiting the
significantly enhanced electric field at the magnetic dipole resonances
of gallium arsenide (GaAs) nanospheres (NSs). We show that monocrystalline
GaAs NSs with distinct electric and magnetic dipole (ED and MD) resonances
can be obtained by using femtosecond laser ablation and annealing.
Significantly enhanced second harmonic generation and broadband HEIL
are observed when the MD resonances of such GaAs NSs are resonantly
excited. The lifetime of the HEIL is found to be as short as ∼82
ps, indicating a significant enhancement in radiative intraband transition
rate. We reveal that the slope extracted from the dependence of the
HEIL intensity on the irradiance is linearly proportional to the energy
of the emitted photon. The existence of distinct ED and MD resonances
in combination with a direct bandgap makes GaAs NSs an attractive
candidate for constructing novel all-dielectric metamaterials and
active photonic devices
