Abstract

We investigate the tunability and strength of the localized surface plasmons of binary metal-in-metal core-shells. Ellipsoids are used as an analytical model to show how the fill factor continuously tunes a hybridized mode between those of the constituents, suggesting the use of metal combinations with widely differing plasma frequencies for broad tunability. A quasistatic eigenmode method is used separate geometric and material parameters to facilitate prediction of hybridized dipole modes in arbitrary shapes. A modified ellipsoid model is found to adequately describe the symmetric dipole-dipole resonance of well-rounded cuboids.

Optimum fill factor for spherical core-shells (cyan f = 0, magenta f = 1) predicted by Eq. (2) as a function of the core and shell permittivities. Symmetric modes are labelled + + , all others are antisymmetric. Labels CSzd are bounds listed in Table 1. The black lines are K-Al core-shell (solid), and Al-K core-shell (dotted). The black dots are those predicted by Eq. (2) when f = 0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1.

Resonant electric dipole fields of (a) K-Al and (b) Al-K core-shells. The fields are calculated at resonance on surfaces, and all are directed normal to the surfaces and parallel to the direction of the excitation field. This is the maximum field on most surfaces except for inside the K-Al shell. The external surface (black), inner and outer shell surfaces (dotted), and core fields are shown. These are consistent with equivalent surface charges, which are symmetric in (a) and antisymmetric in (b). The anti-symmetry is stronger in the lower frequency mode.

Resonances of prolate spheroid core-shells, outer aspect ratio 2 with confocal core, excited perpendicular to the rotation axis. The colored lines were calculated at fill factors f = 0, ¼, ½, ¾, 1 as indicated by the overlaid sketches. These are the full numerical results and have been verified against Eq. (1). The resonance predicted by earlier equations is overlaid in black, using depolarization fixed to that of the outer. The black dots are the discrete maxima predicted by Eqs. (2) and (3) using the same fill-factors as the colored lines. The black line is the path of the maxima predicted by Eq. (3). (a) is K in Al, (b) is Al in K.
