Highly tunable infrared extinction properties of gold nanocrescents.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The infrared extinction properties of gold nanocrescents fabricated using nanosphere template lithography were studied. The nanocrescents exhibit multiple, structurally tunable localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) across a broad spectral range (560-3600 nm). Plasmon resonances in the infrared have large extinction efficiencies of approximately 20 and peaks as narrow as 0.07 eV. The nanocrescents also have high refractive index sensitivities (370-880 nm/RIU) that are proportional to the LSPR wavelengths. The sensing figure of merit measured for ensembles of nanocrescents is as high as 2.4 for near-infrared plasmon resonances.

Hollow spherical gold nanoparticle superstructures with tunable diameters and visible to near-infrared extinction.
Hollow spherical gold nanoparticle superstructures with tunable diameters (∼40 nm, ∼70 nm and ∼150 nm) and visible to near-infrared surface plasmon resonances (545 nm, 670 nm, and 740 nm) are prepared using a single peptide conjugate, C6-AA-PEPAu, as the structure-directing agent. Computational models are developed to understand their optical properties.

Gold nanoshells are a new type of nanoparticles including dielectric cores with a continuous thin layer of gold. By varying the core diameter, shell thickness, and the ratio of these parameters, the optical properties of gold nanoshells can be tuned to have maximum absorption in the visible and near infrared spectrum range. The purpose of this research was to synthesize gold coated SiO2 nanos...
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 ...
