EFFECT OF A SILICON TIP ON ABSORPTION CROSS SECTION, FIELD ENHANCEMENT, AND LOCALIZED SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE OF DIFFERENT SIZED GOLD NANOPARTICLES UNDER EVANESCENT WAVE ILLUMINATION

We have numerically investigated the influence of a nanoscale silicon tip in proximity to an illuminated gold nanoparticle. We describe how the position of the high-permittivity tip and the size of a nanoparticle impact the absorption, peak electric field and surface plasmon resonance wavelength und...
