چکیده
We have studied the optical properties of metallic nanoparticles with arbitrary shape. We performed theoretical calculations of the absorption, extinction and scattering efficiencies, which can be directly compared with experiments, using the Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA). In this work, the main features in the optical spectra have been investigated depending of the geometry and size of the nanoparticles. The origin of the optical spectra are discussed in terms of the size, shape and material properties of each nanoparticle, showing that a nanoparticle can be distinguish by its

Light scattering by isolated nanoparticles with arbitrary shapes
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 compa...

متن کاملPlasmonic Solar Cells, a New Way to Enhance Energy Conversion Efficiency: Analysis and Modeling of Effect of Metal Geometry
In this article, the effect of plasmonic properties of metal nanoparticles with different shapes, and moreover, their plasmonic-photonic interaction, on solar cell performance were investigated and simulated. Because of low conversion efficiency and then high cost of solar cells, it is difficult to commercialize and replace them with conventional energy resources. But in recent years, the plasm...
متن کاملTop-down shaping of metal nanoparticles in solution: partially etched Au@Pt nanoparticles with unique morphology.
Metallic nanoparticles with a unique morphology were produced by combining bottom-up nucleation/growth and top-down etching for Au core-Pt shell nanoparticles. Interesting optical and electrocatalytic properties were observed for the newly formed shapes.
