Context. Galactic open clusters (OCs) mainly belong to the young stellar population in the Milky Way disk, but are there groups and complexes of OCs that possibly define an additional level in hierarchical star formation? Current compilations are too... Read More about A RAVE investigation on Galactic open clusters: I. Radial velocities and metallicities.

Plasmonic nanogaps for broadband and large spontaneous emission rate enhancement (2014)
Journal Article

We present the optical properties of a plasmonic nanogap formed between a silver metallic nanoparticle and an extended silver film that shows a strong enhancement in the spontaneous emission rate over the whole visible range. In particular, we use th... Read More about Plasmonic nanogaps for broadband and large spontaneous emission rate enhancement.
