Substrates Matter: Influence of an Adjacent Dielectric on an Individual Plasmonic Nanoparticle

Knight, Mark W., Wu, Yanpeng, Lassiter, J. Britt, Nordlander, Peter, Halas, Naomi J.·2009·Nano Letters

Abstract

Studying the plasmonic properties of metallic nanoparticles at the individual nanostructure level is critical to our understanding of nanoscale metallic systems. Here we show how the presence of a nearby dielectric substrate modifies the energies of the plasmon modes of a metallic nanoparticle. The adjacent dielectric lifts the degeneracy of the dipole plasmon modes oriented parallel and perpendicular to the substrate, introducing a significant energy splitting that depends strongly on the permittivity of the substrate. This energy splitting can easily be misinterpreted as an anomalously broadened plasmon line shape for excitation of an individual nanoparticle with unpolarized light.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
