Full Analytical Model for Obtaining Surface Plasmon Resonance Modes of Metal Nanoparticle Structures Embedded in Layered Media

Full analytical model for obtaining surface plasmon resonance modes of metal nanoparticle structures embedded in layered media.

This work addresses the need for a fully-retarded theoretical model for surface plasmons on metal nanoparticle chains and arrays embedded in a multilayered medium. The proposed method uses dyadic layered medium Green's functions not only to obtain the electric field created by an oscillating electric dipole but also to modify the polarizability of nanoparticles in a multilayered medium appropri...

On the Surface Plasmon Resonance Modes of Metal Nanoparticle Chains and Arrays

A method for estimating the surface plasmon resonance modes of metal nanoparticle chains and arrays within a multilayered medium is proposed. In this fully retarded point-dipole method, an inhomogeneous background is replaced with a homogeneous one, based on an effective refractive index approximation. The proposed method includes the effects of retardation, radiative damping, and dynamic depol...

Application of Surface Plasmon Resonance Based on a Metal Nanoparticle

Surface plasmon coupling in periodic metallic nanoparticle structures: a semi-analytical model.

We report a semi-analytical model for calculating the coupling effects between the dipolar surface plasmon nanoparticles of a periodic structure. This model involves real-valued frequencies only and is therefore applicable to periodic structures with arbitrary dipolar units and environments.

Metal-in-metal localized surface plasmon resonance.

Anomalous strong resonances in silver and gold nanoporous thin films which conduct are found to arise from isolated metal nano-islands separated from the surrounding percolating metal network by a thin loop of insulator. This observed resonant optical response is modelled. The observed peak position is in agreement with the observed average dimensions of the silver core and insulator shell. As ...
