Dynamical Screening of Atom Confined by Finite-Width Fullerene
arXiv:0706.1493 · doi:10.1088/0953-4075/40/19/014
Abstract
This is an investigation on the dynamical screening of an atom confined within a fullerene of finite width. The two surfaces of the fullerene lead to the presence of two surface plasmon eigenmodes. It is shown that, in the vicinity of these two eigenfrequencies, there is a large enhancement of the confined atom's photoabsorption rate.
