In dictionaries:
Surface plasmon resonance
Light-induced electron oscillation at interface.
Surface plasmon polariton
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are electromagnetic waves that travel along a metal–dielectric or metal–air interface, practically in the infrared or visible-frequency.
Localized surface plasmon
A localized surface plasmon is the result of the confinement of a surface plasmon in a nanoparticle of size comparable to or smaller than the wavelength of light used to excite the plasmon.
