Abstract: We present a simple and intuitive picture, an electromagnetic analog of molecular orbital theory, that describes the plasmon response of complex nanostructures of arbitrary shape. Our model can be understood as the interaction or "hybridization" of elementary plasmons supported by nanostructures of elementary geometries. As an example, the approach is applied to the important case of a four-layer concentric nanoshell, where the hybridization of the plasmons of the inner and outer nanoshells determines the resonant frequencies of the multilayer nanostructure.

Robustness of the Rabi Splitting under Nonlocal Corrections in Plexcitonics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore theoretically how nonlocal corrections in the description of a metal affect the strong coupling between excitons and plasmons in typical examples where nonlocal effects are anticipated to be strong, namely, small metallic nanoparticles, thin metallic nanoshells, or dimers with narrow separations.
Nonlocal study of ultimate plasmon hybridization.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the transition from separated dimers via touching dimers to finally overlapping dimers and showed a fundamental limit on the hybridization of the bonding plasmon modes due to nonlocality.

The Unique Origin of Colors of Armchair Carbon Nanotubes
TL;DR: A novel case is presented for armchair carbon nanotubes, suspended in aqueous medium, for which the color depends on their size-dependent excitonic resonance, even though the individual particles are metallic.

Analogue of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in an S-Shaped All-Dielectric Metasurface
TL;DR: In this article, an analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) all-dielectric metasurface was proposed and numerically investigated, which features one asymmetric S-shaped silicon resonator in the unit cell and generates high transparency, high Q-factor resonance in the near infrared spectral region.
