| contents | Localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) in metal nanoparticles have been studied extensively through scattering and absorption. Static magnetic field-induced changes in plasmonic far-field response stem from the classical Hall effect and are generally very small in noble metals within the visible frequency range at readily accessible magnetic fields. Planar plasmonic tunnel junctions allow the study of nanogap LSPRs through current-driven light emission. We find that the electroluminescence of such junctions is modulated by tens of percent with a magnetic field of a few Teslas, exceeding Hall-based expectations by orders of magnitude. Complementary quantum mechanical and electromagnetic modeling reveals that a modest static magnetic field can introduce significant chirality in the transition dipoles generated during the electron tunneling process. This strongly affects the excitation of LSPRs and leads to magnetic-field sensitive far-field electroluminescent emission. This is a new paradigm for tunable nanoscale light sources. |
