Metallic objects in close contact and illuminated by light show spectacular enhancements of electromagnetic fields, due to excitation of surface plasmons, which have potential for exploitation in ultra sensitive spectroscopy and in nonlinear phenomena. They also play a role in Van der Waals forces...
