摘要：
We study the response of a conical metallic surface to an external electromagnetic (EM) field by representing the fields in basis functions containing integrable singularities at the tip obtained by conformal mapping between the cone and a round disk. We found the field-induced charge distribution to consist of localized terms at the tip apex and the base and an extended bulk term along the body of the cone far way from the tip. We apply our calculation to the scattering-based scanning near-field optical microscope (s-SNOM) and successfully quantify the elastic light scattering from a vibrating metallic tip over a uniform sample. In recent s-SNOM experiments at the optical range (< 1um) the fundamental is much larger than the higher harmonics whereas at THz range (> 1mm) the fundamental becomes comparable to the higher harmonics. We find that the tip charge dominates the contribution to the higher harmonics and becomes much bigger for the THz experiments, thus providing an explanation. Our calculation is orders of magnitude faster than current approaches. We demonstrate this by extracting a two dimensional dielectric constant map from the s-SNOM image of a finite metallic disk which suggests the possibility of mapping the charge density distribution of a finite metallic surface induced by an EM field.
