基于含时密度泛函理论的表面等离激元研究进展

纳米粒子的局域表面等离激元(LSP)由于其新颖的光学特性成为目前国内外研究的热点之一. 本文利用含时密度泛函理论(TDDFT)对金属团簇及石墨烯纳米结构中的等离激元激发及调制的物理本质进行了研究. 和宏观大小的材料相比, 由于纳米结构的尺寸和量子受限效应, 纳米结构的等离激元具有一些不同的特征. 在低能共振区, 光谱线发生展宽, 并且发生劈裂. 由于纳米单体间的电磁耦合作用, 使聚合的纳米结构表现出了与单体不同的光学性质. 这些结果为等离激元的调控提供了坚实的理论指导.

Progress of surface plasmon research based on time-dependent density functional theory

Localized surface plasmon (LSP) of nanoparticles has become one of the world's research hotspots due to its novel optical properties. Based on the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), this paper studies the physical nature of plasmon excitation which is modulated in metal clusters and graphene nanostructures. Compared with the plasmon in the macroscopic material, the plasmon in nanostructures has some different properties due to the effects of the size and the dimensional confinement. In lower-energy resonance zone, the spectral band is greatly broadened, and the photoabsorption strength line splits. Because of the electromagnetic coupling between the nano-monomers, aggregated nanostructures exhibit different optical properties. For plasmon regulation and control, these results provide a solid theoretical guidance.
