Strong and Weak Coupling Nanophysics with Free Electron Beams

We have recently wrote a short review in Advanced Optical Materials, which just got published open acces. This short review paper focuses on the study of the coupling between optical excitations at the nanometer scale, made possible by recent advances in electron spectroscopies. In particular, plasmon–plasmon, plasmon–exciton, and plasmon–phonon couplings are reviewed.
It is worth mentioning that this paper has been published in a special issue in honor of Luis M. Liz-Marzán. The review is dedicated to him, without whom the journey of the STEM group into the world of nano-optics with fast electrons would have been quite different!
