The potential of strong interactions between light and matter remains to be further explored within a chemical context. Towards this end herein we study the electromagnetic interaction between molecules and plasmonic nanocavities. By means of electronic structure calculations, we show that self-induced catalysis emerges without any external stimuli through the interaction of the molecular permanent and fluctuating dipole moments with the plasmonic cavity modes. We also exploit this scheme to modify the transition temperature T of spin-crossover complexes as an example of how strong light-matter interactions can ultimately be used to control a materials responses.
在化学背景下，光与物质之间强相互作用的潜力仍有待进一步探索。为此，我们在此研究分子与等离子体纳米腔之间的电磁相互作用。通过电子结构计算，我们表明，通过分子永久偶极矩和波动偶极矩与等离子体腔模的相互作用，在没有任何外部刺激的情况下会出现自诱导催化。我们还利用这一方案来改变自旋交叉配合物的转变温度T，以此为例说明强光与物质相互作用最终如何用于控制材料的响应。
