The Effect of Oxidation on the Far-Field Scattering of Aluminium Patch Antennae from Visible to UV

In this paper we evaluate the effect of oxidation on the total power scattered in the far field by a 60nm radius Al sphere in the presence of a substrate comprised of either Al or silica (SiO2). Using an effective medium approach to model the Al particle with an outer layer of alumina (Al2O3), we fi...
