Congratulations to:
Atushi Kubo and
for bringing this
work to fruition
We generate and image a plasmonic vortex, and from that deduce its topological spin texture
The arrows represent the topological spin texture of plasmonic meron quasiparticles
This research was supported by the NSF CCI Center for Chemistry at the Space Time Limit (CaSTL) at UC Irvine, headed by Prof. Apkarian
