Simple analytic tool for spectral control of dipole plasmon resonance frequency for gold and silver nanoparticles

Abstract

We give a mathematically simple tool allowing to predict dipole localized surface plasmon resonance frequency as a function of size for gold and silver nanoparticles in water. We compare the results with our previous general study resulting from strict solutions of the eigenvalue problem of metal nanospheres embedded in various dielectrics. © 2013 Photonics Society of Poland.
