fields are modeled to be realizable using novel nanoplasmonic surface crunch-in modes in nanomaterials. These relativistic nonlinear surface modes are accessible due to advances in nanofabrication and quasi-solid density sub-micron particle bunch compression. Proof of principle of TVm

acceleration gradients, equally strong transverse fields lead to self-focusing and nanomodulation of the beam which drive extreme beam compression to ultra-solid peak densities increasing the crunch-in field strength. Apart from ultra-solid particle beams, extreme focusing also opens up a nano-wiggler like tunable coherent
