Dimensional optical resonances in atomic nanostructures

Abstract
A nanostructural object consisting of two atoms is proven to contain two or four dimensional resonances depending on whether these atoms are identical or different. Each of the atoms is characterized by linear isotropic polarizability and contains one isolated resonance. The frequency of the dimensional resonances considerably differs from the resonance frequencies of the isolated atoms, and the effective resonance polarizabilities of the atoms in the nanostructure approximately coincide with the resonance values of polarizabilities of the isolated atoms. It is shown that, in the nanostructure consisting of two different atoms, two of four resonances have a negative dispersion. It is also shown that the nanostructural object has an induced anisotropy in the case of a fixed position of the object axis relative to the direction of incidence of the external wave.
