Shape- and size-dependent refractive index sensitivity of gold nanoparticles.
Gold nanoparticles of different shapes and sizes, including nanospheres, nanocubes, nanobranches, nanorods, and nanobipyramids, were dispersed into water-glycerol mixtures of varying volume ratios to investigate the response of their surface plasmon peaks to the refractive index of the surrounding medium. The refractive index sensitivities and figures of merit were found to be dependent on both...
متن کاملUniversal scaling of plasmonic refractive index sensors.
We establish experimental and numerical evidence that the refractive index sensitivities of various subwavelength plasmonic sensors obey a simple universal scaling relation that the sensitivities linearly increase with λm/neff (where λm is the resonant wavelengths and neff is the effective refractive index of the environment) and exhibit a slope equal to 1 instead of 2 predicted theoretically. ...
متن کاملPlasmonic Refractive Index Sensor with High Figure
A plasmonic refractive index (RI) sensor based on metal-insulator-metal (MIM) 11 waveguide coupled with concentric double rings resonator (CDRR) is proposed and investigated 12 numerically. Utilizing the novel supermodes of the CDRR, the FWHM of the resonant wavelength 13 can be modulated, and a sensitivity of 1060 nm/RIU with high figure of merit (FOM) 203.8 is realized 14 in the near-infrared...
متن کاملUltrahigh refractive index sensing performance of plasmonic quadrupole resonances in gold nanoparticles
The refractive index sensing properties of plasmonic resonances in gold nanoparticles (nanorods and nanobipyramids) are investigated through numerical simulations. We find that the quadruple resonance in both nanoparticles shows much higher sensing figure of merit (FOM) than its dipolar counterpart, which is attributed mainly to the reduction in resonance linewidth. More importantly, our result...
متن کاملVertically stacked plasmonic nanoparticles in a circular arrangement: a key to colorimetric refractive index sensing.
True colorimetric sensing produces a linear spectral response of a single peak within the visible light range with various surrounding media refractive indices. We demonstrate how the circular arrangement of hemispheric silver nanoparticles achieves colorimetric properties without modifying the associated full-width-half-maximum values in a broad range of surrounding media refractive indices. W...
