Abstract

We propose that a Coulomb blockade can suppress the tunneling current in quantum plasmonics in case of very small nanoparticles. Hence, a redshift is sustained even for sub-nanometer approach. This holds up to moderate fields that do not surpass the Coulomb blockade. Only for stronger optical fields, the Coulomb blockade is lifted and a charge transfer plasmon can be formed.
