Light scattering by isolated nanoparticles with arbitrary shapes

چکیده
Using the Discrete Dipole Approximation we have studied the optical properties of different isolated nanoparticles with arbitrary shapes. We have investigated the main features in the optical spectra, depending of the geometry and size of such nanoparticles. We present and discuss our results in terms of the scattering, extinction and absorption optical coefficients, which can be directly compared with experiments. The results are discussed in terms of the optical signature of each nanoparticle depending of its size and shape.

Isolation and characterization of a fungus for extracellular synthesis of small selenium nanoparticles
The use of biogenic selenium nanoparticles for various purposes is going to be an issue of considerable importance; thus, appropriate simple methods should be developed and tested for the synthesis and recovery of these nanoparticles. In this study, a fungus was isolated from a soil sample, identified as Aspergillus terreus and used for extracellular synthesis of selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs)...
متن کاملDiscrete dipole approximation for calculating extinction and Raman intensities for small particles with arbitrary shapes
We present a discrete dipole approximation ~DDA! method to determine extinction and Raman intensities for small metal particles of arbitrary shape. The Raman intensity calculation involves evaluation of surface electromagnetic fields, and thus is relevant to surface enhanced Raman scattering ~SERS! intensities. We demonstrate convergence of the method by considering light absorption and scatter...
متن کاملCalculations of light scattering from isolated and interacting metallic nanowires of arbitrary cross section by means of Green's theorem surface integral equations in parametric form.
We study theoretically the light scattering from metal wires of arbitrary cross section, with emphasis on the occurrence of plasmon resonances. We make use of the rigorous formulation of the Green's theorem surface integral equations of the electromagnetic wave scattering, written for an arbitrary number of scatterers described in parametric form. We have investigated the scattering cross secti...

Understanding the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of differently shaped plasmonic nanoparticles benefits screening and designing highly sensitive single nanoparticle sensors. Herein, in the present work, we systematically investigated the shape-dependent scattering light colours and refractive index (RI) sensitivity of Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) at the single nanoparticle level using c...
متن کاملEfficient vertical mode expansion method for scattering by arbitrary layered cylindrical structures.
A relatively simple and efficient numerical method is developed for analyzing the scattering of light by a layered cylindrical structure of arbitrary cross section surrounded by a layered background. The method significantly extends an existing vertical mode expansion method (VMEM) for circular or elliptic cylindrical structures. The original VMEM and its extension give rise to effective two-di...
