Coupling between excitons and surface plasmons results in a strongly nonmonotonous behaviour of exciton radiative decay rate versus temperature. Tuning the plasmon frequency one can control the efficiency of exciton emission of light.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-09-15T08:53:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.20.Mf", "73.21.Fg" ], "keywords": [ "planar metal-semiconductor structures", "plasmon modes", "non-local dielectric response theory", "exciton radiative decay rate", "surface plasmons results" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevB.87.195429", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2013, "month": "May", "volume": 87, "number": 19, "pages": 195429 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013PhRvB..87s5429D" } } }
