Plasmonically induced magnetic field in graphene-coated nanowires

Opt Lett. 2016 Jan 15;41(2):396-9. doi: 10.1364/OL.41.000396.

Abstract

In this Letter, we investigate a magnetic field induced by guiding plasmonic modes in graphene-coated nanowire via an inverse Faraday effect. Magnetic field distribution for different plasmonic modes has been calculated. It has been shown that a magnetic field has a vortex-like distribution for some plasmonic modes. The possibility of producing magnetic field distribution that rotates along the nanowire axis and periodically depends on azimuthal angle has been demonstrated.
