Abstract:
Plasmonics is an emergent research field enableging the elements for the development of all forms of nanotechnologies, due to their possibilities of controlling light at the nanometer novel, well below the wavelength of light. The main goal of this domain is that to examine the properties of the collective electronic excitations in noble metal films or nanoparticles known as surface plasmons. At surface plasmon resonance frequency, accurs amplification of the incident electrical field intensity. For the silver and gold nanoparticles, the spatial range of the amplified field is strongly dependent on nanoparticle size, shape, interparticle spacing and local dielectric environment. The simplest theoretical approach available for modelling the optical properties of metalic nanoparticles is classical electrodynamics, i.e., solving Maxwell’s equations with the bulk metal dielectric permittivity using various theoretical approachs or from experimental measurements. In this work we present an analysis of some specific properties of plasmonic nanostructures in the electrostatics approximation frame, connecting with possible applications in the fields of catalysis, biosensing,electronics and optics.
