Mie Plasmons: Modes Volumes, Quality Factors, and Coupling Strengths (Purcell Factor) to a Dipolar Emitter by G. Colas des Francs, S. Derom, R. Vincent, A. Bouhelier, A. Dereux

“…Using either quasistatic approximation or exact Mie expansion, we characterize the localized surface plasmons supported by a metallic spherical nanoparticle. We estimate the quality factor Qn and define the effective volume Vn of the nth mode in such a way that coupling strength with a neighbouring dipolar emitter is proportional to the ratio Qn/Vn (Purcell factor). …”

Uniform Energy Decay Rates for the Fuzzy Viscoelastic Model with a Nonlinear Source by Fengyun Zhang

“…Under weak assumptions of the function gt, with the aid of Mathematica software, the computational technique is used to construct the auxiliary functionals and precise priori estimates. As time goes to infinity, we prove that the solution is global and energy decays to zero in two different ways: the exponential form and the polynomial form.…”
