基于全介质超构材料独特的电磁属性,提出了一种晶格扰动介质纳米孔阵列超构表面来激发近红外区域的多重Fano共振.结合群论深入探究了该超构表面在其原胞为方形晶格构型与方形晶格对称性被破坏两情况下多重Fano共振的形成机理及演变规律.研究表明,在方形晶格超构表面中,外部辐射连续体分别与由正入射平面波直接激发的双重简并模式共振干涉形成双重Fano共振,且该共振与原胞中是否含孔及孔的形状无关,在晶格扰动超构表面中,原本不耦合的非简并模式由正入射平面波激发出来并与外部辐射连续体干涉形成Q值更高的三重Fano共振.进一步探讨了正入射平面波的xy极化方向对上述五重Fano共振的影响,结果表明,双重简并模式Fano共振偏振无关,三重非简并模式Fano共振偏振依赖.本文将为利用方形晶格构型的超构表面实现多重Fano共振的激发及演变提供有效的理论参考.     

对称纳米棒三聚体结构的Fano共振特性研究

利用时域有限差分方法,理论研究了由中间短棒和两侧长棒构成的对称金纳米棒三聚体结构的光学性质,分析了结构参数和介电环境对其Fano共振特性的影响.结果表明:随着中间短棒长度、三棒整体尺寸或短棒两侧介质折射率的减小,Fano共振谷蓝移;棒间距的增大同样导致Fano共振谷蓝移,但边棒长度的变化对Fano共振谷位的影响较小;同时,随着纳米结构参数或介电环境的变化,Fano共振谷两侧共振峰强度发生改变,共振对比度先增大后减小.通过比较纳米结构截面的电磁场和电流密度矢量分布发现,共振谷两侧光谱强度的变化源于结构参数或介电环境引起的等离激元共振模式的改变.研究结果对基于Fano共振可控的纳米结构设计有一定的参考意义.

银纳米颗粒及阵列光传输性质的理论研究

纳米颗粒及其阵列结构的光学性能与颗粒本身的表面等离子体共振及周期结构参数密切相关.本文根据Mie散射理论和多极子振荡理论,研究了光在银球型纳米颗粒及阵列中的传输性质.对于单个纳米颗粒,当颗粒半径小于50 nm时,消光峰由电偶极子共振产生;当半径大于50 nm时,除电偶极子振荡产生的消光峰外,在短波处将出现由电四极子共振产生的消光峰,且两种极子的共振频率随颗粒半径的增加而减小.由电偶极子共振产生的消光峰位置的理论计算结果与实验结果相符合.对于由球形颗粒组成的无限大二维周期阵列,消光峰主要由单个颗粒产生的消光峰和Wood-Rayleigh反常衍射造成的消光峰组成.通过控制纳米颗粒的尺寸、形状以及阵列的周期、排列方式,可以调节两种极子的共振峰位.本文的结果将对设计具有特定光学性能的纳米结构产生重要的实际意义.

D3h和D4h等离激元超分子的Fano共振光谱的 子集合分解解释

针对D_3h和D_4h对称构型金属纳米多颗粒集合即等离激元超分子表面等离激元共振光谱的子集合分解及其相对应的Fano共振光谱低谷的产生机理, 本文运用群论的方法做出了详细的分析研究. 运用与群论中求解分子简正振动模式类似的方法, 推导证实了在线偏振光入射时, D_nh环形多颗粒只有2个电偶极表面等离激元共振模式, 增加中心颗粒会使模式增加1个. 对D_3h和D_4h等离激元超分子的表面等离激元共振模式进行不可约表示基向量正交分解分析表明, Fano共振光谱低谷是由于两个起主要作用的相邻模式包含有共同的正交基向量, 并形成相消干涉而产生. 这进一步验证了Fano共振光谱低谷的起源除传统观点(即源自于宽频超辐射亮模式和窄频低辐射暗模式之间的耦合)之外的另一种解释视角.     

基于单劈裂环-双劈裂盘结构的多重磁Fano共振（英文）

Interplay between out-of-plane magnetic plasmon and lattice resonance for modified resonance lineshape and near-field enhancement in double nanoparticles array

Two-dimensional double nanoparticle （DNP） arrays are demonstrated theoretically, supporting the interaction between out-of-plane magnetic plasmons and in-plane lattice resonances, which can be achieved by tuning the nanoparticle height or the array period due to the height-dependent magnetic resonance and the periodicity-dependent lattice resonance. The interplay between the two plasmon modes can lead to a remarkable change in resonance lineshape and an improvement on magnetic field enhancement. Simultaneous electric field and magnetic field enhancement can be obtained in the gap region between neighboring particles at two resonance frequencies as the interplay occurs, which presents “open” cavities as electromagnetic field hot spots for potential applications on detection and sensing. The results not only offer an attractive way to tune the optical responses of plasmonic nanostructure, but also provide further insight into the plasmon interactions in periodic nanostructure or metamaterials comprising multiple elements.     

Tunable multiple plasmon resonances and local field enhancement of nanocrescent/nanoring structure

According to the plasmon hybridization theory, the plasmon resonance characteristics of the gold nanocrescent/nanoring(NCNR) structure are systematically investigated by the finite element method. It is found that the extinction spectra of NCNR structure exhibit multiple plasmon resonance peaks, which could be attributed to the result of the plasmon couplings between the multipolar plasmon modes of nanocrescent and the dipolar, quadrupolar, hexapolar, octupolar,decapolar plasmon modes of nanoring. By changing the geometric parameters, the intense and separate multiple plasmon resonance peaks are obtained and can be tuned in a wide wavelength range. It is further found that the plasmon coupling induces giant multipole electric field enhancements around the tips of the nanocrescent. The tunable and intense multiple plasmon resonances of NCNR structure may provide effective applications in multiplex biological sensing.

Resonance and composition effects on the Raman scattering from silver-gold alloy clusters

Low-frequency Raman scattering experiments have been performed on thin films consisting of pure gold or gold-silver alloy clusters embedded in alumina matrix. It is clearly shown that the quadrupolar vibrational modes are observed by Raman scattering because of the effect of resonance with the excitation of the electronic surface dipolar plasmon. This is due to the strong coupling between the collective electronic dipolar excitation and the quadrupolar vibrational modes. This effect of resonance does not exist with the core electron excitations. The mixing of the conduction electron dipolar excitation (surface plasmon) with the core electrons leads to the quenching of the resonant Raman scattering. Received 16 November 2000     

Optical Tunability of Silver-Dielectric-Silver Multi-Layered Cylindrical Nanotubes Using Quasi-Static Approximation

Local surface plasmon resonances(LSPRs) of silver-dielectric-silver multi-layered(SDS-ML) nanotubes are studied by theoretical calculations. Based on quasi-static approximation, the absorption cross section of SDS-ML nanotubes is plotted as a function of wavelength. The results show that SDS-ML nanotubes exhibit strong coupling between the cylindrical silver and nanotubes. The absorption spectra of LSPRs are strongly influenced by changing the radius of the inner core and outer nanotube shell. The longer wavelength is red-shifted by increasing the radius of the inner core and outer shell, while the short wavelength shows the opposite properties.These phenomena are explained by the plasmon hybridization theory. In addition, for clarity, the distributions of electric field intensity at their plasmon resonance wavelengths are also studied.     

采用银纳米圆盘阵列提高LED发光特性的研究

为了提高GaN基蓝光LED的发光效率,设计了在LED有源层上方引入银纳米圆盘阵列的模型。利用时域有限差分方法计算了银纳米圆盘阵列不同结构参数情况下LED有源层自发辐射率的变化情况及光提取效率值。通过对有源区的近场分布和LED远场方向性的分析,理论上解释了利用该金属纳米结构生成的表面等离激元对LED性能增强的影响,利用该模型可使得表面等离激元与有源层有效耦合,从而增强有源层的自发辐射率。此外,银纳米粒子组成的阵列结构所生成的栅格矢量可以补偿表面等离激元的波矢量,从而可将局域化表面等离激元转为辐射性表面等离激元,显著提高LED顶端光提取效率。结果表明,当银纳米圆盘颗粒满足直径为120nm,厚度为30nm时,含该结构的GaN基蓝光LED自发辐射率比普通LED增强了3.6倍。在此基础上,当其按照晶格常数为220nm的三角晶格排列时,顶端光提取效率增强为2.5倍。这些结果为实际的高性能GaN基LED的设计与优化提供了一定的参考。     

Fano resonances in complex plasmonic super-nanoclusters: The effect of environmental modifications on the LSPR sensitivity

In this study, gold nanodisk clusters in heptamer orientations as clusters were used to design a super-heptamer consisting of one central and six peripheral heptamers. We examined the position and movement of the plasmon and Fano resonances by sketching the spectral response of the superstructure for various nanodisk dimensions. The quality of the interference between the superradiant and subradiant plasmon resonance modes of the nanodisk clusters was found to depend strongly on the structural configuration and the refractive index of the environmental medium. We replaced the central heptamer with a nanodisk and probed the position of the Fano resonance by geometrically altering the nanodisk structure. Finally, the effect of the dielectric environment on the plasmon response of both of the studied structures was examined numerically and theoretically. The localized surface plasmon resonance sensitivity of the finite plasmonic structures to the presence of liquid substances was investigated and shown by plotting the linear figure of merit. The finite-difference time-domain method was used as a numerical tool to investigate the plasmon response of the structure.

Size-controlled aerosol synthesis of silver nanoparticles for plasmonic materials

Aerosol techniques were used to synthesize spherical and monodisperse silver nanoparticles for plasmonic materials. The particles were generated with an evaporation-condensation technique followed by size selection and sintering with a differential mobility analyzer and a tube furnace, respectively. Finally, the nanoparticles were collected on a glass substrate with an electrostatic precipitator. The particle size distributions were measured with a scanning mobility particle sizer and verified with a transmission electron microscope. A spectrophotometer was used to measure the optical extinction spectra of the prepared samples, which contained particles with diameters of approximately 50, 90 and 130?nm. By controlling the particle size, the dipolar peak of the localized surface plasmon resonance was tuned between wavelengths of 398 and 448?nm. In addition, quadrupolar resonances were observed at shorter wavelengths as predicted by the simplified theoretical model used to characterize the measured spectra.     

Tunability and linewidth sharpening of plasmon resonances on a periodic gold nanowire array coupled to a thin textured silver film

We theoretically study the plasmon mode spectrum of a multilayer structure consisting of a periodic gold nanowire array and a spatially separated thin silver film with periodic slits. Results show that the plasmon mode spectrum of the multilayer structure depends sensitively on the relative lateral displacement of the Au nanowire array with respect to the textured silver film. This is due to the interaction between the localized surface plasmon (LSP) of the nanowire array and the plasmon modes, including the horizontal LSP and the antisymmetric short-range surface plasmon polariton (SPP), of the textured thin silver film. The strong coupling between the LSP and the antisymmetric short-range SPP results in a redshifted plasmon resonance with a significantly narrow linewidth and a large electromagnetic field enhancement. Moreover, the lateral displacement also has a great influence on the spacer layer controlled dipole-surface interaction. Therefore, this relative lateral displacement provides an efficient way to tune the optical properties of the multilayer structure, and this kind of highly tunable nanostructure can be used as a tunable plasmonic filter or a substrate for LSPs sensor.
