Magnetotransverse Scattering of Surface Plasmon Polaritons

Abstract

We show experimentally that the in-plane scattering of surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) is influenced by a perpendicular magnetic field. The average SPP flux is deflected into the direction perpendicular to both its initial propagation direction and the magnetic field direction. From a phenomenological point of view, this is an analogy to the Hall effect for electrons and a 2D equivalent of the photonic Hall effect.

High Magneto‐Optical Activity and Low Optical Losses in Metal‐Dielectric Au/Co/Au–SiO2 Magnetoplasmonic Nanodisks

“…Combining materials with ferromagnetic and plasmonic properties has recently become an active area of research 1–12. The generation of so‐called magnetoplasmonic materials allows one to study a wide variety of physical phenomena in which both characters (magnetic and plasmonic) are intertwined, i.e., it is possible to control one by acting on the other and vice versa 13.…”
