Dynamic modifications of polarizability for large metallic spheroidal nanoshells.

چکیده
We present an approach alternative to the hybridization model for the treatment of the coupled interfacial plasmon modes in spheroidal metallic nanoshells. Rather than formulating the problem from the Lagrangian dynamics of the free electronic fluid, we adopt an effective medium approach together with the uniqueness of the solutions to electromagnetic boundary value problem, from which the polarizability of the shells can then be systematically and efficiently derived; and the resonance frequencies for the coupled modes can be obtained from the poles in the polarizability. This approach can treat confocal nanoshells with different geometries for the spheroidal cavity and external surface and allow for a natural extension to incorporate corrections from the finiteness of the optical wavelength which are important for nanoparticles of larger sizes. This thus surpasses the hybridization model which is limited to incorporate only the electrostatic Coulomb interaction between the uncoupled plasmons. Numerical results will be provided for different nanoshell systems, and for the illustration of the various geometric and dynamic effects from our model.

Simple accurate approximations for the optical properties of metallic nanospheres and nanoshells.
This work aims to provide simple and accurate closed-form approximations to predict the scattering and absorption spectra of metallic nanospheres and nanoshells supporting localised surface plasmon resonances. Particular attention is given to the validity and accuracy of these expressions in the range of nanoparticle sizes relevant to plasmonics, typically limited to around 100 nm in diameter. ...
متن کاملTunable Plasmonic Nanoparticles Based on Prolate Spheroids
Metallic nanoparticles can exhibit very large optical extinction in the visible spectrum due to localized surface plasmon resonance. Spherical plasmonic nanoparticles have been the subject of numerous studies in recent years due to the fact that the scattering response of spheres can be analytically evaluated using Mie theory. However a major disadvantage of metallic spherical nanoparticles is ...

متن کاملFrequency dependent polarizability of small metallic grains.
We study the dynamic electronic polarizability of a single nano-scale spherical metallic grain using a quantum mechanical approach. We introduce the model for interacting electrons bound in the grain allowing us numerically to calculate the frequency dependence of the polarizability of grains of different sizes. We show that within this model the main resonance peak corresponding to the surface...
