Surface Plasmon Resonance of Nanoparticles and Applications in Imaging

Abstract

In this paper we provide a mathematical framework for localized plasmon resonance of nanoparticles. Using layer potential techniques associated with the full Maxwell equations, we derive small-volume expansions for the electromagnetic fields, which are uniformly valid with respect to the nanoparticle's bulk electron relaxation rate. Then, we discuss the scattering and absorption enhancements by plasmon resonant nanoparticles. We study both the cases of a single and multiple nanoparticles. We present numerical simulations of the localized surface plasmonic resonances associated to multiple particles in terms of their separation distance.

Mathematical and numerical framework for metasurfaces using thin layers of periodically distributed plasmonic nanoparticles

“…We use the Drude model [2] to model the electromagnetic properties of the materials in our problem. We use water for the half-space and gold for the metallic nanoparticles.…”

“…Recently, there have been several interesting mathematical works on plasmonic resonances for nanoparticles [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. On the other hand, scattering of waves by periodic structures plays a central role in optics [10].…”

On Identifying Magnetized Anomalies Using Geomagnetic Monitoring

“…It is mentioned that I 2 ± M k B is invertible on TH(div,∂B) when k is sufficiently small (see e.g. [1,19]). In the following , if k = 0, we formally set k introduced in (2.4) to be Γ 0 = − 1 4π x , and the other integral operators introduced above can also be formally defined when k = 0.…”
