复杂金属纳米结构场增强的耦合模理论

Coupled-Mode Theory of Field Enhancement in Complex Metal Nanostructures

Gregory Sun, Jacob Khurgin, Alexander M. Bratkovsky

摘要:

我们描述了一个简单而严格的理论模型,能够分析估计在复杂的金属结构的等离子体场增强。我们表明,可以把复杂的结构作为耦合多极模式与最高的增强,由于在小粒子的高阶模式的叠加。该模型允许优化结构以获得最大可能的场增强,场增强取决于金属的品质因数Q,对于两个球形粒子,Q可以高达Q^2。“热点”可以发生在颗粒之间的纳米间隙中或更小的颗粒附近。我们跟踪的最佳场增强机制的事实,即扩展的偶极子模式的较大的颗粒作为有效的天线,而在间隙或附近的较小的颗粒作为紧凑的亚波长腔的模式。我们还展示了我们的方法可以很容易地扩展到将大量的粒子在错综复杂的安排。

英文摘要:

We describe a simple yet rigorous theoretical model capable of analytical estimation of plasmonic field enhancement in complex metal structures. We show that one can treat the complex structures as coupled multi-pole modes with highest enhancements obtained due to superposition of high order modes in small particles. The model allows one to optimize the structures for the largest possible field enhancements, which depends on the quality factor Q of the metal and can be as high as Q^2 for two spherical particles. The "hot spot" can occur either in the nano-gaps between the particles or near the smaller particles. We trace the optimum field enhancement mechanism to the fact that the extended dipole modes of larger particles act as the efficient antennas while the modes in the gaps or near the smaller particles act as the compact sub-wavelength cavities. We also show how easily our approach can be extended to incorporate large numbers of particles in intricate arrangements.
