Abstract
|
We investigate the plasmonic coupling of metallic nanoparticles with continuous metal films by studying the effect of the particle-to-film distance, cavity geometry, and particle size. To efficiently screen these parameters, we fabricated a particle-to-film-coupled functional nanostructure for which the particle size and distance vary. We use gold-core/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-shell nanoparticles to self-assemble a monolayer of well-separated plasmonic particles, introduce a gradient in the nanoparticle size by an overgrowth process, and finally add a coupling metal film by evaporation. These assemblies are characterized using surface probing and optical methods to show localized magnetic and electric field enhancement. The results are in agreement with finite-difference time-domain modeling methods and calculations of the effective permeability and permittivity. Finally, we provide a proof of concept for dynamic tuning of the cavity size by swelling of the hydrogel layer. Thus, the tunability of the coupled resonance and the macroscopic self-assembly technique provides access to a cost-efficient library for magnetic and electric resonances.
