Surface plasmons usually take two forms: surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) and localized surface plasmons (LSP). Recent experiments demonstrate an interesting plasmon mode within plasmonic gaps, showing distinct characters from the two usual forms. In this investigation, by introducing a fundamental concept of SPP standing wave and an analytical model, we reveal the nature of the recently reported plasmon modes. The analytical model includes SPP propagating and SPP reflection within a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) cavity, which is rechecked and supplemented by numerical simulations. We systematically analyze SPP standing waves within various nanocavities. During the discussion, some unusual phenomena have been explained. For example, the hot spot of a nanodimer could be off-tip, depending on the order of standing wave mode; and that a nanocube on metal film can be viewed as a nanocube dimer with the same separation. And many other interesting phenomena have been discussed, such as dark mode of SPP standing wave and extraordinary optical transmission. The study gives a comprehensive understanding of SPP standing waves, and may promote the applications of cavity plasmons in ultrasensitive bio-sensings.
