Coupling modes of gold trimer superstructures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experimental and theoretical examination of the coupling modes within superstructures of gold nanorod trimers is presented. The experimentally determined spectrum of the nanorod trimers is reported and the modes are elucidated using an electrostatic eigenmode method based on the coupling of evanescent electric fields. The theory is able to reproduce the experimental spectrum well, and the nature of the modes and interactions are discussed.

Self-Assembly of Gold Nanocrystals into Discrete Coupled Plasmonic Structures
Development of methodologies for the controlled chemical assembly of nanoparticles into plasmonic molecules of predictable spatial geometry is vital in order to harness novel properties arising from the combination of the individual components constituting the resulting superstructures. This paper presents a route for fabrication of gold plasmonic structures of controlled stoichiometry obtained...
متن کاملOne-dimensional coupling of gold nanoparticle plasmons in self-assembled ring superstructures.
Plasmon coupling in ordered metal nanoparticle assemblies leads to tunable collective surface plasmon resonances that strongly depend on the interparticle distance. Here we report on the surface plasmon scattering of polystyrene-functionalized 40 nm gold nanoparticles self-assembled into close-packed rings. Using single particle dark-field scattering spectroscopy, we observed strong near-field ...
متن کاملSeeing double: coupling between substrate image charges and collective plasmon modes in self-assembled nanoparticle superstructures.
The interaction between adjacent metal nanoparticles within an assembly induces interesting collective plasmonic properties. Using dark-field imaging of plasmon scattering, we investigated rings of gold nanoparticles and observed that the images were dependent on the substrate. In particular, for nanoparticles assembled on carbon and gold substrates, intensity line sections perpendicular to the...
متن کاملA new peptide-based method for the design and synthesis of nanoparticle superstructures: construction of highly ordered gold nanoparticle double helices.
Left-handed gold nanoparticle double helices were prepared using a new method that allows simultaneous synthesis and assembly of discrete nanoparticles. This method involves coupling the processes of peptide self-assembly of and peptide-based biomineralization of nanoparticles. In this study, AYSSGAPPMPPF (PEPAu), an oligopeptide with an affinity for gold surfaces, was modified with an aliphati...
متن کاملPhotothermal response enhancement in heterogeneous plasmon-resonant nanoparticle trimers
The optical response of heterogeneous plasmonic trimer structures composed of a silver nanoparticle dimer and a central gold nanoparticle is investigated analytically and numerically. The plasmon resonance of the silver dimer is controlled through near-field coupling, resulting in plasmon resonance frequency matching of the silver dimer and gold monomer. This coupling condition makes it possibl...
