Here, for the first time we predict a giant surface-plasmon-induced drag-effect rectification (SPIDER), which exists under conditions of the extreme nanoplasmonic confinement. In nanowires, this giant SPIDER generates rectified THz potential differences up to 10 V and extremely strong electric fields up to approximately 10(5)-10(6) V/cm. The giant SPIDER is an ultrafast effect whose bandwidth for nanometric wires is approximately 20 THz. It opens up a new field of ultraintense THz nanooptics with wide potential applications in nanotechnology and nanoscience, including microelectronics, nanoplasmonics, and biomedicine.
在这里，我们首次预测了一种存在于极端纳米等离子体限制条件下的巨型表面等离子体诱导拖曳效应整流（SPIDER）。在纳米线中，这种巨型 SPIDER 会产生高达 10 V 的整流太赫兹电位差和高达约 10(5)-10(6) V/cm 的极强电场。巨型 SPIDER 是一种超快效应，其纳米线的带宽约为 20 THz。它开辟了一个新的超强太赫兹纳米光学领域，在微电子学、纳米等离子体学和生物医学等纳米技术和纳米科学领域有广泛的潜在应用。
