Perturbations of Dipole Decay Dynamics Induced by Plasmonic Nano-antennas – A Study within the Discrete Dipole Approximation by Stefania D'Agostino, Fabio Della Sala, Lucio Claudio Andreani

“…., nano- spheres and nano-shells, and it is then applied to analyti‐ cally-unsolvable shapes such as sharp nano-cones and oxide-covered small nano-antennas. Numerical results reveal 105-order enhancements in the total decay rate of the dipole when located very near to the sharp tip, both with and without a thin Ag2O layer. …”
