    • 2015, Ory Schnitzer, Vincenzo Giannini, Richard V. Craster, Stefan A. Maier, “Asymptotics of surface-plasmon redshift saturation at sub-nanometric separations”, in arXiv[1]:
      Many promising nanophotonics endeavours hinge upon the unique plasmonic properties of nanometallic structures with narrow non-metallic gaps, which support super-concentrated bonding modes that singularly redshift with decreasing separations.
