Abstract

In this talk, we will present a linearized hydrodynamical model describing the response of nanometric dispersive metallic materials illuminated by optical light waves, a situation occurring in nanoplasmonics. The model corresponds to the coupling between the Maxwell system and a PDE describing the evolution of the polarization current of the electrons in the metal. First by using semigroup theory its well posedness will be shown. Then using a frequency approach, polynomial (and optimal) stability results for different boundary conditions will be presented.

This is a join work with Claire Scheid (Université Côte d’Azur, France).
