What is Collective Quantum Approach to Surface Plasmon Resonance Effect about?

In this research we present a theory of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect based on the dual length-scale driven damped collective quantum oscillations of the spill-out electrons in plasmonic material surface. The metallic electron excitations are modeled using the Hermitian effective Schr\"{o}dinger-Poisson system, whereas, the spill-out electron excitations are modeled via the damped non-Hermitian effective Schr\"{o}dinger-Poisson system adapted appropriately at the metal-vacuum interface. It is shows that, when driven by external field, the system behaves like the driven damped oscillator in wavenumber domain, quite analogous to the driven damped mechanical oscillation in frequency domain, leading to the collective surface spill-out electron excitation resonance. In this model the resonance occurs when the wavenumber of the driving pseudoforce matches that of the surface plasmon excitations which can be either due to single-electrons or collective effects. Current theory of SPR is based on longitudinal electrostatic excitations of the surface electrons, instead of the polariton excitation parallel to the metal-dielectric or metal-vacuum surface. Current theory may also b
