Localized surface-plasmon polaritons in disordered nanostructured metal surfaces: Shape versus Anderson-localized resonances
نویسنده
چکیده
The electromagnetic wave scattering from disordered nanostructured metal surfaces supporting surfaceplasmon polaritons ~SPP! is studied by means of fully retarded scattering formulations. We investigate the two physical mechanisms which may underlie the excitation of localized SPP: Anderson localization and shape resonances. The former mechanism is discarded since plane-wave excited, localized SPP are observed in the absence of proper Anderson localization of SPP. In contrast, a detailed analysis of the near field for various ensembles of surface realizations permits us to identify SPP shape resonances typically occurring at sub100-nm grooves or ridges, the latter being significantly stronger.

Strong coupling of light to flat metals via a buried nanovoid lattice: the interplay of localized and free plasmons.
We study the optical plasmonic properties of metal surfaces which have a periodic lattice of voids buried immediately beneath their flat upper surface. Light reflection spectra calculated in the framework of a self-consistent electromagnetic multiple-scattering layer-KKR approach exhibit two types of plasmon resonances originating from the excitation of different plasmon modes: surface plasmon-...
متن کاملLight trapping limits in plasmonic solar cells: an analytical investigation.
We analytically investigate the light trapping performance in plasmonic solar cells with Si/metallic structures. We consider absorption enhancements for surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) at planar Si/metal interfaces and localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) for metallic spheres in a Si matrix. We discover that the enhancement factors at Si/metal interfaces are not bound to the conventio...
متن کاملSpoof surface plasmon polaritons in terahertz transmission through subwavelength hole arrays analyzed by coupled oscillator model
Both the localized resonance and excitation of spoof surface plasmon polaritons are observed in the terahertz transmission spectra of periodic subwavelength hole arrays. Analyzing with the coupled oscillator model, we find that the terahertz transmission is actually facilitated by three successive processes: the incident terahertz field first initiates the localized oscillation around each hole...

We present an advanced numerical formulation to calculate the optical properties of 3D nanoparticles (single or coupled) of arbitrary shape and lack of symmetry. The method is based on the (formally exact) surface integral equation formulation, implemented for parametric surfaces describing particles with arbitrary shape through a unified treatment (Gielis' formula). Extinction, scattering, and...

Nowadays, hydrogen has attracted significant attention as a next generation clean energy source. Hydrogen is highly flammable, so detection of hydrogen gas is required. Gold nanoparticle based localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is an advanced and powerful sensing technique, which is well known for its high sensitivity to surrounding refractive index change in the local environment. We p...
