Effect of Multimodal Plasmon Resonances on the Optical Properties of Five-pointed Nanostars

The optical transmission and electric field distribution of plasmonic nanostructures dictate their performance in nano-optics and nano-biosensors. Here, we consider the use of hollow, five-pointed, star-shaped nanostructures made of Al, Ag, Au or Cu. We use simulations based on finite-difference tim...
