Utilization efficiency of spherical metal nanoparticles that increase light absorption in absorbing media

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel approach for estimating the utilization efficiency of metal particles to increase light energy absorption by a medium with a nonzero imaginary part of a medium refractive index. This method is implemented for spherical Ag and Au nanoparticles embedded in muscle tissue. Numerical calculations for spheres in absorbing media show that the utilization efficiency of metal particles increases with the decreasing absorbability of the medium.

“…Here, we propose a cutoff criterion approach for quantifying the energy deposited in the near-field in absorbing media and evaluate its potential as it is applied for different electromagnetic fields enhancement values. We note that, even in the immediate vicinity to the nanoparticle, some regions will absorb more energy, while other regions will actually absorb less than would be absorbed if the particle was not present, so-called hot and cold spots, respectively [16].…”

“…Dielectric particles in absorbing media have been studied in some detail (e.g., [26][27][28]), but fewer studies have addressed theoretically the metallic particles in absorbing media [16,17,32,33]. Specifically, we performed our calculations for gold spheres (AuNP) embedded in two relevant media: (1) in water with a hypothetical absorbing dye at various concentrations, and (2) in silicon.…”

“…As an example, a given algorithm has been applied to two scientific manuscripts: "Utilization efficiency of spherical metal nanoparticles that increase light absorption in absorbing media" (Dynich, 2011); and "Energy breathing of nanoparticles" (Dynich, 2015). At first, texts of manuscripts were converted from the pdf format into the txt format.…”

“…Though the effect of an absorbing medium on the resonance of nanoparticles has been studied in some detail, rigorous studies of the absorption by the medium in the near-field are much less common. Several recent studies have recently addressed the problem of individual metal nanoparticles in absorbing media [6][7][8]. A control volume approach can be used to determine the total energy absorbed MG4 (Contributed Oral) 9:45 AM -10:00 AM 978-1-4577-0733-9/12/$26.00 ©2012 IEEE around a scatterer.…”
